^ So you are saying that if you know the chances of all possible outcomes, but not which will be the actual outcome, you know everything?
That is obviously wrong.
That's like saying "I go up to a roulette table. I know if I bet my money on X I know the chances of each of the possible outcomes (the odds) and what will happen to my money with each one of those outcomes (the payoffs) Therefore I know exactly what the ball will land on.
Not to mention in your example above, god couldn't SEE that x y or z was happening, as he would have known a billion years prior to those events which would occur, if he was all knowing. Your example in programming is COMPLETELY invalid. The error checking catches for events you DON'T expect, or MIGHT happen but you aren't sure. If you knew everything that would happen, there would be no need for exception handling, because there would be no exceptions to what you know would occur.
I am a Gauntlet Adventurer. I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly.
