To know everything would be to have an answer to every question. My interpretation of that definition would have an omniscient being know which atom was going to decay as well, creator or not. |
Sure. It knows that there's a 50% chance of atomic decay over one half-life... and would also know if a given atom was going to decay during a given half-life. What is your point?
