You're in the hot seat, Bill. We've got questions from all over the world,

and let's see what your answers are.

Dear Dr Craig, he says, I'm curious

if we sometimes press this concept too hard.

That is, God actively creates every human being.

So many of the intellectual struggles with God's sovereignty and human free will or lack of

free will seem to be based on the concept that God is choosing to

create every human being one by one knowing many will ultimately be condemned.

Am I missing something obvious in scripture that would prevent the

concept that God simply instructed Adam and Eve and then Noah to multiply and

fill the earth? But he has now fully turned that process over to humanity.

In other words, what if God is allowing the human reproductive

process that he initiated but stepped away from to continue producing humans based solely on

free will procreation.

And then he works their subsequent actions toward his goals. If this is feasible, would it alleviate

the problem of God choosing to create someone he knows will reject him? Thank you for your consideration and thank you for all you do,

Kyle in the United States.

but the motivation behind the question is misconceived.

Adopting this hypothesis would do nothing to alleviate the problem of God choosing to create people who he knew would ultimately reject him.

Because even if people are just pro-creating by their own free will and God isn't specially

creating every individual, given his foreknowledge
