==Free will argument for the nonexistence of God== [[Dan Barker]] suggests that this can lead to a "Free will Argument for the Nonexistence of God"<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ffrf.org/about/getting-acquainted/item/16947-the-freewill-argument-for-the-nonexistence-of-god|title=''The Free will Argument for the Nonexistence of God''|first=Dan|last=Barker|website=[[Freedom From Religion Foundation]]|date=August 1997|access-date=June 10, 2022}}</ref> on the grounds that God's omniscience is incompatible with God having free will and that if God does not have free will, God is not a [[personal God|personal being]]. Theists generally agree that God is a personal being and that God is [[omniscience|omniscient]],<ref group=note>see e.g. [[Richard Swinburne]] ''Does God Exist?'' of ''The Catechism of the Catholic Church''</ref> but there is some disagreement about whether "omniscient" means: # "knows everything that God chooses to know and that is logically possible to know"; or instead the slightly stronger: # "knows everything that is logically possible to know"<ref group=note>see e.g. [[John Polkinghorne]]</ref> These two terms are known as ''inherent'' and ''total'' omniscience, respectively.
