Will the shortlist also be posted on the JLI website?

Anyone know what time the results come out?

how do u know?

RE free will: I didn't touch on it much (word limit sucks) but essentially argued that just because future events can be seen from a certain perspective or slice of space-time, does not mean they were not freely chosen. God having a wider view of past, present, and future, because he exists atemporarily, does not necessitate him influencing our actions. It simply means that he has a greater understanding of time and the workings of the Cosmos. Our perception of the past, present and future is relative not fixed. So a different perspective on what the 'present' it which enables one person (or god) to see actions which would only exist in another's 'future' or 'past' does not impact free will.
