Theological Theses · §2031 · Louis Le Blanc de Beaulieu

Others hold that many conditional propositions about free futures are neither true nor false, and so fall outside God's knowledge

Others, however, think that many, or rather countless, propositions about contingent futures under some condition can be framed and made up that do not fall under God's knowledge. They express nothing that God himself can know or understand.

This is not because God is ignorant of any truth, or because something is really future that God does not know to be future. It is because, in their view, such propositions signify nothing that is determinately true or false. What they affirm or deny as future under a certain condition is no more future than not future; it is open either way.

Latin

XXXVI. Alii vero existimant, multas aut innumeras potius propositiones de futuris contingentibus sub aliqua conditione fieri & fingi posse, quae sub scientiam divinam non cadunt, nec quicquam exprimunt quod ab ipso Deo sciri & cognosci possit, non quod Deum veritatem ullam ignorare, aut aliquid esse revera futurum quod Deus futurum non sciat, sed quoniam existimant propositiones istas nihil significare quod determinate verum vel falsum sit; & quae in eis futura sub certa conditione negantur, vel affirmantur, non esse magis futura, quam non futura, sed indifferentia ad utrumque.
