      <image:title>Home - Why We Have No Idea What God Should Allow</image:title>
      <image:caption>Each event opens up an exponentially increasing number of consequences into the future, that interact with the consequences of other events in history. If an event is deleted (represented by the clear mesh funnel) all the future consequences are also instantly deleted producing a different future. We must know all the moral values of all future consequences of all interacting events before we can know what God should and should not permit. Consequently, we haven’t the foggiest notion of what God should and should not allow in this world.</image:caption>
