Let me put it another way for variety’s sake:

Your question is really: Is God’s foreknowledge perfect?

And the answer is yes.

The question has nothing to do or say about predestination.

That is simply inaccurate. Romans 8: "Those He FOREKNEW, He predestined..."

Respectfully, you still haven't answered the question. And it is the answer to that question that helps us understand who God is.

If God is omniscient and thus has "known" from before the foundation of the world that you will oversleep tomorrow and miss your bus, is there any chance you will wake up on time and catch your bus?

Or are there some things God didn't know at the foundation of the world? Is God's knowledge of His creation only partial knowledge?
