Here's an excerpt from The Matrix: Reloaded
The Oracle is like God, in that she is omniscient. Neo is "the one", like us humans, asking her questions about his path to salvation.
This to me, further affirms the point of how religion is apocryphal and unsubstantiated. Christianity and Islam both say that God is omniscient (all knowing) just like the Oracle. Additionally, they say that we all have free will (ability to make choices). But if God knows all then we cannot make a choice because the outcome is already known, therefore this system of God being omniscient and humans having free will collapses.

The Oracle: Candy? Neo: D’you already know if I’m going to take it? The Oracle: Wouldn’t be much of an Oracle if I didn’t. Neo: But if you already know, how can I make a choice? |
