Literal interpretation of this is the PLAIN MEANING of the text,

I do not think its a definition of literalism. "No dogs in heaven" has a plain meaning, but not a literal one. "You are a rock" has also a plain meaning, but not a literal one.

On the other hand.. does anything in the Bible have a "plain" meaning? All is quite deep and has many layers. Both literal and metaphorical verses.
 
maybe i should leave its programming blank; maybe it is dishonoring to the robot to program it

**thinks about renting gallery space to display blank canvases**

Or you could create artificial intelligence, i.e. give it ability to learn and develop. But its not free will either.

good point; not even "what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them"

hmm i don't know; what if it comes back and says 'why did you give me ability to learn and develop? i found bad teachers and got all screwed up, beep-beep-bloop' ?

i wonder if it is programmed to be that way?

I think the universe works on probability. Probability allows certainity of events and also a free will.

Its like in a casino. No matter how many times you win, at the end, the casino always wins.
