Twitter quote

God could have made significantly free human beings, or human like beings who would have been perfectly morally good & would not commit wrong actions. To not create such beings is not a sign of a lack of power, or moral failure. 

PhD quote

I reason that God could have, if he wished, made significantly free human beings, or human like beings who would have been perfectly morally good and would not commit wrong actions. God’s choice not to create such beings, in my mind is not a sign of a lack of power, or moral failure, but rather the use of his own perfect and significantly free will for good purposes.
