I think you need to understand that you are making this way more complex than it really is. If God created time (and is not affected by it), then he must be able to predict the future. Do you really think that God has no idea of what you will be doing tomorrow, or what will be your next meal?

 

For the millionth time: God cannot be omniscient while still not be able to see the future. Here is the definition of omniscient:

"Having infinite awareness, understanding, and insight" also: "Possessed of universal or complete knowledge"

 

The knowledge is not complete, in God's case.

I would imagine that God would be able to come up with various probabilities based on the absolute level of knowledge available. I see no problems with this interpretation.

I do, however, see a problem with assuming omniscience grants the ability to predict the the future with 100% certainty. Take a 6 sided dice for example, would someone with infinite awareness be able to predict what will be rolled with any more accuracy than me? Perhaps once the dice is tossed, an absolute knowledge of physics, the heat levels, density of air particles, etc... could conceivably predict how it would land; but there is no way they could have predicted how a person was going to throw it; how each and every joint and muscle fiber will act, because that knowledge does not even yet exist in the mind of the person who is throwing the dice. Someone with infinite understanding would understand that rolling a dice would give a 1 in 6 chance, and this would be true of someone with universal and complete knowledge.

Last post for tonight.
