God's Knowledge of Future Events

i looks at how David gorleus' religious context may have helped to inspire his innovative account of matter. For gorleus, the body is a purely material thing rather than being substantially unified with the soul that animates it. This makes it possible for him to associate the blight of sin with the body passed down from one generation to the next in a kind of biological determinism. The soul, however, floats free of the atomic body and is able to make free choices unimpeded by material influence.
