Agreed on the basis of the addition of the "creator" quality.
Yes fatalism is the word, thanks 101.


Not in reply to you 101 but just a point in general,

It's intresting to note that an omniscient being cannot pass on "pure" knowledge to any non-omniscient being. This is because we can never be sure that the information being passed on to us is correct. So in relation to the earlier argument regarding the influence of an omniscient being on the rest of the world, the world would be fatalistic only from the omniscient being's point of view.
