I knew that there would be at least 2-3 Open Theists who wouldn't be able to resist replying to my question eventhough I posted it for the show! I knew Clete would be one of them for sure! Can you say Pavlov and his salivating dog?

Uhh...wouldn't people be a little easier to predict if the future were closed and everything was know? Also, how does one “guess” in the closed view?
No. In a closed future, God doesn't need to predict or guess. He knows. In an open future, he has to predict and/or guess at unknown events. That's how it's been explained to me anyways.
Good luck on the show. I wonder if I can listen in on the show live from the Pacific Northwest. Do you know if there is a radio station in my area which picks up Bob's show?

I only posted it here because I'm at work and I wasn't sure that I would be able to call in to the show and offer an answer on the air. It looks like I'll be free though so maybe I'll get to put my two cents in there.

I called in too! I hate it how I stumble all over my words and sound so stupid!
It's hard isn't it? The best calls I ever made I just stated talking and it came out better. When I think too much about what I am going to say, I stumble here and there and think I did terrible. When you hear the show it won't be as bad as you think though.

I wish. I bet it sounds terrible. I just drew a blank. I think you are right though. If I call again, I am not going to spend time thinking about what I want to say. I did that this time and barely said anything.
