46 All references to omniscient definitions (O) are taken from William Lane Craig, Time and Eternity, 253-254.

48 This objection only corresponds with an A-theory of time. The B-theorist cannot make this objection because the temporal becoming of the statement or event E is true at any point prior to E at t1(the actual occurrence of E). On a B-theory of time, tenseless statements are always true or false. The theories of time will be expounded at a later point.

1)“It will rain tomorrow” (asserted April 12) a truth status different from that of

2) “It did rain yesterday” (asserted on April 14) because both make (from temporally distinct perspectives) precisely the same claim about the facts, viz., rain on April 13.50

It is simple common sense, if “it is raining today” is now true, how could, “it will rain tomorrow” not have been true yesterday?51

William Hasker, an opponent of the classical definition of omniscience, redefines (O) so that God is omniscient, but denies His knowledge of future contingents:52

O′. God is omniscient= def. God knows all statements which are such that God’s knowing them is logically possible.
