(Part 4)

Yahweh’s gift of free will is brutally real, in as much as the consequences of our choices are irrevocably real as they affect others and our evolving world. We are co-creators with God. What we choose to bring into existence, does in fact come into existence, creating an ever new evolving matrix as the context in which our children and all future generations are conceived/born. Climate change is a perfect example. The choice prior-generations made have co-created with God the world into which we were born, and (may God help us!) our current decisions about climate change will irrevocably affect future generations. What we create does in fact come into existence just as as Yahweh’s fiat caused the big bang.

The same is true in billions and billions of other ways. We have inherited a present co-created by our ancestors extending back to the emergence of humanity circa 200K years ago, and the world our descendants inherit from us is the world we are co-creating today.
