Which doesn't address whether God exists, only if an omniscient God exists.

Let's get this straight. You're saying omniscience can't be knowing all because God can't know everything, so the definition of omniscience must be wrong? Not that actual omniscience can't exist?

Since this premise has now obviously been proven false, your conclusion is now not supported. All that you previously stated has been soundly routed.
What I'm now asking is how you know an omniscient God would not limit what he knows about the future, since this is now shown to be an obvious possibility.
If you don't desire to continue to consider the question, I'll allow you to retreat from the battle for the truth without demanding any surrender.
Ah, so you know the pigeon maneuver. Checkmate, atheists!
