Creation Vs. Evolution = Free will Vs. determinism

I think God is as clueless as we are. The universe is only as deterministic as we allow it to be. And our free will is only as potent as the universe allows. I really believe there is a duality of function that allows us to know what we know when we know it and do what we do when we do it. It sounds stupid, but think about it. You can't do what you can't do and you can't know what can't be known. But it seems it's up to us to decide just what we know and do.

You cannot possibly fathom omniscience.

And you can? Omniscience is a frozen bowl of jello; static, unchanging.

A thought experiment: move your finger, ok now move another finger. Which finger did you move? Right pinkie, left index? How did you decide which to move? Did God tell you, did QM determine which you moved? Stimulus, thought, action; it doesn't get much simpler than that. I mean thought in the broadest sense, that point between stimulus and action. We are self-deterministic, but we do carry enough baggage to make even the most cynical doubt that.

As I said, Omniscience is a frozen bowl of jello; static, unchanging. To go further, to be imminent and transcendent means to be here and there inclusively. And to be omnipresent is to be at all places at all times not withstanding. And yes, time is a human construct, created by us to ensure that everything doesn't happen at once.If God is as you say, it has, is and will happen, hence a frozen bowl of jello, no free will, no will at all. We will trundle on our appointed paths, play our part, all unknowing.
But we who live in this bowl of jello have found that we can move in unexpected ways, and God is happy for that.
