Yeah, I get that man has a very limited understanding of those concepts. Unfortunately, “omnipotence” and “omniscience” are still defined in those manners. Defined by God Himself even.
And besides, most times, stories depict those who’s motives no one could comprehend as being bad guys. Like Abeloth from Tales of the Jedi, or the Patriots from Metal Gear Solid 2.
And who said anything about erecting barriers? Last I checked, God cannot be restrained anyhow.
We are closer, in our views, than we are apart.
