that's not the definition. God knows everything that is possible for him to know. by that definition he knows everything except things that are impossible to know. that's a little more substantive than "he knows everything he knows." and BTW, i'm using the definition in the OP not imposing my own.
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.
