No, their writings show no such thing. It is only in poor translations -- half
understood -- that their writing _appear_ to show such a thing.

Nothing is simple when arguing with such a dissembler as yourself.

And this is the poor translation I mentioned above. For as I have _already_
pointed out to you, KTIZW should really be 'appoint', not 'create' in this
passage.

Predestination did not have the advantage of Chaos Theory. The
behavior of chaotic systems cannot be predicted by any mind, no
matter how powerful. Not even by the mind of God. I put it to you
that the human race is a chaotic system
