Just a pipe in to say that just because something exists as a concept doesn't mean it has any basis for reality in the real world. I'd place conscious omniscience under this category, right next to superman, the chemical transmutation of lead into gold, pixies, goblins, fairies and free money.
In a strange way, unconscious omniscience could be argued for. As the universe goes through its life, churning space, matter and time up within itself as it goes, everything inside it, every action, reaction, force and existance is being 'memorised' by the universe in the same way a computer chip can memorise all the 1s and 0s fired into each of its memory addresses. From the outside of time and space, perhaps this universe could be unreeled, its events examined, studied and considered by extra-universal minds the same way our scientists smash apart the tinyest of atoms to try and work out what makes them tick.
