“god” lives in a parallel universe not limited by time and space. Since there is no “time” in the way we think of it (in a linear manner), of course, “god” knows everything that has happened (since god began*) and “will happen” though “god” doesn’t think of it as something occuring in the future, since there is no future with “god”, only the eternal present. The question is not whether “god” knows but why the “loving god” we worship doesn’t intervene in the world as we know it when people do bad things. I don’t know the answer to that. Perhaps there is a tug of war going on in this parallel universe of which we only have fleeting glimpses.
*imagine the possibility that in the evolution of the world there evoved not only humankind with opposing thumb and large brain capable of planning and all the rest, but also there evolved a spiritual parallel world populated by the spirits of those who died and the phenomenon of gods with real power and the ability to communicate (even via real angels and a real Jesus “son of god”) with humankind (be they judaeo christian, muslim, hindu, buddhist, or animist.) This kind of thinking is almost science fiction. I’ve searched somewhat to see what kind of belief this is but haven’t come up with a name. I can still be thankful for the world as it is, whether created or not. It’s all a great mystery.
