no. if he was, then he wouldnt have been disappointed when man turned to evil he would have seen it coming.
when he came in the form of jesus he would have knew how to walk and talk from birth.
if he knows our future, then our future is set and thus negates free will.
plus if he knew everything, then he would know that we as mortals, whos lives are extremely short, dont believe in him due to the millions of different religions out there, we cannot know which one is the truth. to punish us knowing we cannot know which is the truth, would lead me to believe he is cruel and morbid.

I think any definition of God automatically carries with it omniscience doesn't it? Maybe not...the Greeks didn't attribute that to the Gods. It is certainly a characteristic western cultures apply to God/s.
I think the Calvinist argument for predestination involves the omniscience of God...the argument goes something like this....if God already knows what you are going to do....he has already determined a place for you before you are born. This certainly eliminates the concept of choice however.
It's been a while since I had a theology or Philosophy class....I was better at this 10 years ago.

Yea, for in Sanatoriums 3:14 he stated:
And thou shalt goeth unto Yahoo Revelations* and preach much hate against the atheist! For lo, they are ignorant of the chicken and egg, and by the way guys, I totally created the world in six days.
* he sometimes gets the specifics wrong

Yes, He created everything. He knows all of the answers. He is the beginning and the end.
He knows exactly what each one of us will do although, He gives us the free will to decide.
P.S. He does already know what we want or need. The reason that we pray is because He tells us to come to Him with our needs. He answers when we talk to Him.

Compared to human knowledge, it doesn't take a whole lot to be "omniscient".

Obviously not... if he were, there would be no need to pray to him - he would already know how you feel... He wouldnt have gotten mad when mankind "sinned" and ate the apple either - should have seen that coming. Instead, he had to send his son to die....so if he is truly omnniscient, then that means he used himself/his son as a scapegoat.

The god of the Bible is a myth. All the stories are made up or corruptions of old tales.
