 It is worth noting, in this section, the view known as "theological determinism," according to which God determines everything in every detail, and so knows the past, present, and future on this basis. Although theological determinism raises other questions about creaturely responsibility and the problem of evil, it certainly explains how God could know about future prayers in a way that permits God to answer them. (For more on these questions, see Hasker 1989, Timpe and Speak 2016, White 2019, and Furlong 2019.)
