I appreciate Mr. George's honesty in answering the question Why did an omniscient God create humankind knowing that people, in every generation, would reject him? by stating he didn't know for sure; however, it's when he gets to the open view concept for explaining the question when things go amis - here's what he said about it:
Third, it may seem that we can get God off the hook by denying his absolute foreknowledge of future events, by seeing Creation as an open-ended experiment about which even God is in the dark. Rather than taking the problem of evil seriously, though, such a view of God trivializes it. We would not praise a doctor who produced horrible deformities while experimenting with human cloning.
Huh? "...by seeing Creation as an open-ended experiment about which even God is in the dark...." and "...a doctor who produced horrible deformities while experimenting...".
Gads! This is the open view concept, eh, that God boo-booed during an experiment? Oh, that's right, I forgot: God was in the dark. Silly me!
He meant well, he did, but, well, gads!
