Perhaps your definition of God, but not mine Mark.  I see no proof 
that God could not choose to forget something or choose not to see 
the future.  I view God as totally rational.   God may indeed have 
a will, but I see no proof that She exercises it, except as having 
the restraint not to interfere so that we may enjoy free will.  In 
a universe where God's will is omnipotent, our will is useless and 
we may as well quit discussing philosophy.
