In part of Plantinga's free will defense he argues that it is not possible for God to actualize a world in which all free creatures freely choose to follow God. But he also argues that it is possible for such a world to exist. One might fairly ask, why then can God not actualize it?
The answer is deceptively simple. If God were to actualize, and thus guarentee such a world said creatures would not be free. Thus the incoherence is not in the world itself but in it being actualized. God cannot do the logically impossible. Thus we have a world which is can exist, but cannot be forcibly actualized. And thus we have a world which is not feasible for God to create.
Pretty trippy right?
