So we've been considering this. After our investigation, I'm now thinking that if God exists, the fact that he is not experienced is good evidence he does not know all. Anyone who says knowing all is what omniscience is must be mistaken, I think.
What do you think, Chuck?
So long as you insist on playing the muddying charade, I will muddy it some more.
All knowing does not have to mean literally knowing all. All knowing could simply mean knowing all that is in principle possible to know, which may not be all.
So one might say an omniscient being does not know that which is in principle unknowable, but knows everything else.
One might also say an omnipotent being should have in his capacity to create that which is unknowable even to himself, and thus in principle unknowable.
When you have grasped this life line, I will then cut it for you.
