I like the philosophy of this question, is "god" the defined concept omnipotent, and does "god" have free will,
forget the yahoo answers thing and the atheist theist agnostic stuff,
just pretend we were sitting around a bonfire, and that came up, how wild the conversation would be with the "cool" kids from here at yahoo answers in this category,
the atheists and agnostics would have to put ourselves into that what if mode,
and consider what if god has free will, would he thus have foresight of this, and thus not knowing the outcome of his decision,
thus not being omnipotent,
i really dig this hypothetical,
ultimately, if god doesn't know the outcome of a future decision, he isn't omnipotent,

God knows that in 5 days, he will fix a pot of coffee and then kiss Natalie, his wife, on her forehead. (Just like he does every morning since they launched those seeding capsules to Earth about 4 billion years ago.)

Of course God knows every move he made and is going to make.
He even knew you would ask this question.
How can God do something different when he already has plans for you?

the most misunderstood area of the Bible that is by technique of atheists, and regrettably by technique of maximum who trust in creation also. Your declare as to God coming up the universe is punctiliously brushing off this basic actuality: Gen a million:a million contained in the starting up God created the heavens and the earth. 2 And the earth become waste and void; and darkness become upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. < how is day used contained in the Bible in those verses? no longer as 24 hour days, yet as lengthy epochs unspecified in length> < . > right here the creation of the universe which includes our photo voltaic gadget is suggested as having taken position. < .. > the point the position we are presented into this creationary attempt - is at the same time as the earth has been formed yet continues to be too warm for the waters to relax down on the exterior of the earth as oceans. See verses 6-8. This honestly takes position in the course of the time of the second one imaginative day. As to the earth, no longer the universe at tremendous, or the photo voltaic gadget in its setup - for this already were commonplace, which includes the moon having been further into the orbit of the earth - the six imaginative days are then about >>>terraforming<<< the earth ! This imaginative attempt has no longer some thing to do with the universe at tremendous. it would want to entail the clearing out the debris between the solar and the earth after the solar finished its proto-solar section and all started shining. It really involves clearing up the ambience so as that gradually it became clear to basic from the solar so as that it began to achieve its floor. attempt to seem at day six - imaginative era - and enumerate for your self what God did. next enumerate for your self what God made guy, Adam, do ! at the same time as God isn't restricted by technique of a few thing with the intention to ought to take 1000's of thousands of years or 1000's to terraform the earth - on the grounds that Carl Sagan claimed human beings might want to attempt this in some destiny in some 1000's of years - Adam though become human and the failings he become made to do in this era, day six, might want to not in any respect have equipped into any 24 hour era! there is extra Biblical evidence for presently to be quite lengthy epochs no longer of 24 hour length !

I think that God has everything planned out until the end of time... and even after that possibly. Cause then what would be the point of saying.."God does everything for a reason?"

God knows what He is going to do a thousand years from now.
He knows our hearts because He created them, and already forsaw what our thoughts and actions will be.
He allows us the slack through freedom of choice, but he controls our destiny through Divine Intervention.

Is there even really a God? And why does everyone refer to God as 'He' 'Him'? Is it possible for God to not be a man, or to not be human?
And if God does exist, does God really control everything?
Just some food for thought

God is not bound by time or space... He does not exist in our limited dimensions... he already exists in what we call 5 days from now... he is omnipresent meaning that he is in the past, present and in the future all at the same time... God is a god... we can't really understand it fully...

You have missed the plot. It doesnt really matter what he does or doesnt do in 5 days or 500 years or more. There are no schedules.
