@Frodo/Adrian. Please expand, I am happy to concede that I shhould have added predictability in. But I dont see what difference it makes to the overall argument?

Your refutation, if I understand it, is that god is unrestricted and we are, and from our standpoint the principle of ignorance is a showstopper, but not to god.

My rejoinder to that is that either the principle of ignorance is wrong or that god does not exist because he is either incompetent and/or not omiscient.

Trying to render otherwise leaves us in the realms of mysticism, pushes the concept of god to another different shape or is special pleading or some combination therein.
