Let me clarify. Let us say that God created a specific condition for the Big Bang. Thus he could at some point be omniscient. In theory, as LaPlace stated, if an infallible being knew everything at one piont, he could deduce the future. If God could predict my actions ten minutes from now then I necessarily have no free will. Let us assume that there is no way to predict my actions. Thus, God is defeated from being omniscient by my interference in Heisenberg Uncertainty. He could have short term prediction but the future woud be largely unpredictable. If we assume that God exists now and ten minutes from now then he can know my actions without predicting them. Thus we escape the whole issue.
