Description
This article examines the question of whether God has the perfect memory - the notion of which upon reflection how problematic such a notion would be. For as the author argues to have a perfect memory is to have no memory at all, since one does not remember the moment we call now; one simply lives in it. Perfect memory self-destructs into incoherence.
