Dan, I wasn't dissing the provision of the material, or the links, and was glad to be able to read both it and your useful summary of it(thanks).

My point is that people like Watson and Ware, etc. think that their evidence proves more than it does, and they short circuit their analysis by not fully discussing and understanding the nature of knowledge and the nature of the future.

I think the open futurists have fostered an important debate and have heldped break new ground to get us past the impasse between determinists and non-determinists. I don't hold out much hope for Molinism as a solution, though I disagree with it for different reasons than J. White (who, in my opinion, does nothing more than repeat the traditional arguments more loudly than other people and thus confuses volume with intelligence).

I read the article, curious to see if there was anything new or interesting about. Nope. Same-o, same-o. Absolutely no refutation of the arguments used by open theists.
