The Horrors of Evolution (Evolution)

David says "we can never know for sure about God's characteristics, don't accept those definitions in your thinking." And later "once a person accepts the starting positions in Catholic philosophy, everything else follows logically."
If you want to understand why a person believes what they believe, you have to understand their starting positions and concede them. To do otherwise would almost require a religious conversion on someone's part before the conversation could begin. Validity of starting positions is what wars are fought over.
I apologize to Edinburgh4 if my first post was too sharp. I am sure that this question about foreknowledge on God's part is common, and I would very much like to hear the traditional Christian's response. I have heard discussions about foreknowledge vs. free will applied to the actions of Judas, but I have never heard it applied to The Fall.
