Zyr,

Because our knowledge is limited there is always a possibility that we are missing a key piece of information and our conclusions are incorect. Even something as basic as tomorrow's sunrise might not happen because we are not aware of a certain sircumstance that will prevent the event. So the best we can do is have faith that what we observe and conclude is true.

Omniscience, hints at the idea that the being has absolute knowledge, they cannot be wrong. This is why I stated that any being which has finite knowledge must rely on faith. Even if the being thinks that its knowledge is accurate, they might be wrong.

So there is a difference between omniscience and our limited knowledge.
