Fair enough, and I’ve heard that before as well. The typical theistic issue is how to reconcile god’s knowledge and free will, hence why I don’t think we need to continue in this discussion anymore. You are responding to my questions based on things being determined, which is not what I think most theists believe.
But that’s not the discussion I think we’re having. It’s shifted to determinism and omniscience, which I think is compatible, but I’m still not on board with some kind of mind that could house all information that exists, or at least that mind being consistent with what theists generally want it to mean (it caused the universe specifically for us, wants us to be in heaven with it forever, inspired holy books to be written, and so on.)

This is why many attempts have been made to reconcile free will and omniscience by apologists.
