Of course, would a good God condemn you to eternal damnation for making a
75-year mistake?

Nope. The quasi-Christian doctrines of "instant Hell" are false, IMO.
(So is the Aristotlean notion of eternity; we humans don't have the
best picture of the topology of the universe, after all...)

I think if Thomas is willing to *say* "Oops" at that moment, that'll
speak very favorably to him.
