If he 'sat down' and contemplated exactly how he wanted everything to be (should people be green and blue; should the sky be red) then there would have to have been a 'time' before creation when God did not know what he was going to do. On the other hand, if the plan of 'creation' was already established from the beginning, then it can't be considered to be creative. In this case, it's really just following a natural course of events. We call that physics.
I view omniscience as knowing all that is knowable. Until God chooses to make the sky red or blue that knowledge does not exist.

I do not assert religion either. I challenge you to find one quote of mine where I asserted a religious belief.....anywhere on this forum.
