Omniscience Argument Against God's Existence

RE: Omniscience Argument Against God's Existence
(October 1, 2013 at 5:20 pm)Vincenzo "Vinny" G. Wrote: That's precisely one of my criticisms against the argument. If a being is omnipotent, there is nothing to "not know".

Rather, at best the argument can claim that unknown unknowns are empirically unverifiable.
Actually omnipotence has nothing to do with knowledge. That is omniscience, a trait clearly not possessed by the god of the bible, as there are many things he didn't seem to know such as the fact the flood would not eliminate sin.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
