    It is not the case that If God's knowing does not involve succession from one mental state to another, then the change in tensed facts entails no change in God's knowledge.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Knowing 'it is now 2024' differs from knowing 'it is now 2025'—these are distinct propositional contents God must distinguish.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If God's knowledge state remains identical while tensed facts change, God's beliefs fail to track changing reality.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Atemporality doesn't resolve how one eternal mental state encompasses incompatible tensed truths simultaneously.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.God's knowledge is eternal and unchanging; temporal succession characterizes only finite minds.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If God knows all tensed facts timelessly, changes in which facts are 'now true' don't alter God's knowledge state.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Knowledge requires a knower's mental state to correspond to reality; eternal correspondence needs no succession.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
