The difference being that you didn't create the truck with the foreknowledge that it would one day crash into your garden and mess up your tulips.
The whole perspective you've taken puts you in a box. You can't get around it by saying "but Satan!" when satan was a creation of god, you know, the all powerful, all knowing being that, by definition, must have known already what would happen the moment he 'created' satan (it would have actually known it in time immaterial if it's omni-faceted, but w/e).

What's the difference between "I desire to have sex with my wife" and "I want to have sex with my wife"?
