The proposition that an omnipotent being would create a force that would act in a manner unbeknowst to Him would imply that an omniscient God chose to no longer be omniscient and thus no longer "God."

I'm a would-be writer. When I write, I create and control a universe -- certainly, though not with the level of detail as God.

But there are times, when my characters start taking over. I can feel them taking over, telling me what they want to do. I could force them to change, but I follow their lead, because it makes things more interesting.

Does God do that? Well, we are created in God's image. So if would-be creators let their creations take over the reins, then it follows God might well do the same.

But this cannot be literally true, otherwise I would recommend seeking help for Multiple Personalities Disorder.

Do these characters really take over, or are you swept away by your own creativity? Furthermore, we exist as imperfect, finite beings. It is one thing to say "we create like God" and quite another to say "God creates like us."
