No, God's mind just is the universe. There is no memory separate from the universe. According to the standard theology. 

Quote:If this god is in this universe

He isn't in the universe, he is the universe. 

Quote:It seems to me that christians and pantheists have not addressed the memory requirement problem.

I think you'll find it's been addressed quite a bit. Things with direct vision of the universe, all times and all places, have no memory because they don't need it. They see directly rather than recalling it from memory.
