Flew says,
Certainly there need be no doubt but that Omnipotence 'has power to create their like'. But for the punishments to be just, and for it to be 'their fate', what is to be created must not just be 'their like', not replicas however perfect, but them. He goes on to quote Aquinas, at considerable length, setting forth a different view.
