TigerPaw, it's a shame that people can't be more open minded.

You are wrong. Under current scientific theories it is Heisenberg Uncertainty combined with chaos theory that hold that God could never know everything about the universe and if He didn't He could not control evolution. I prefer to get around that by assuming that God exists not at any one point in space/time but throughout time. In that way, God could know the future without predicting it. It is the possibility of prediction that requires the universe to be deterministic and precludes free will. Logically, it seems that we can have an omnipotent Supreme Being and free will.

I didn't know that you had knowledge of what it's like to be a god... and here I thought the concept of omnipotence meant "all powerful" and omniscience meant "all knowing" =P
