The game theory of reality makes a lot of sense, when you think about it. It explains the paradox of human free will and God's omniscience/omnipotence. How can man defy God if God knows everything that is going to happen in advance and predetermines it? The answer is a set of game rules, which apply to all created things. God cannot violate these rules if he wants to play the game. He could, if he wished, tip the game board and throw all the game pieces (us) onto the floor, but then he wouldn't be playing the game. To play the game, he must constrain his omnipotence with the game rules, just as we must whenever we play a board game or a field game. Why does God allow evil to exist? Because evil is a part of the game, and if God stopped it, playing the game would become impossible since the game rules would have been violated. But ... and here is the interesting part for those who have been following along ... a little cheating can occur. We know this as miracles. Or sometimes we call it magic. It is minor cheats in the game rules that don't destroy the ability to play the game.
