Then why did you say God does not “know” the way we do? How do you KNOW this?

Because that is a negative. We, whatever we are, are NOT God. He is infinite, not finite. We take in discrete pits of information and process them. He certainly does not. To give a very imperfect analogy, Beethoven “knew” his compositions before he played them or set them on paper. Only Beethoven really knew his music. To the extent that we create, we are using a God-like power. We ourselves are his creation, but we are not notes on the page, we are the music itself.
