If the spark of human consciousness is eternal and undetermined, then God did not predispose us in any direction, set our course toward the evil or the good. Our original choice, or one of them, judging by our present state and possibilities, must have been a response to a set of options given us by a superior Being, which led to our presence in the world (since we quite clearly didn’t get here on our own, and if we were simply cast adrift on the shore of this strange world, where is the freedom in that?).
