You are all predictable. You will tell me that God can do anything. But just think about what infinity means. That means that there is no end to it, so you can never know all of it. Right?

there is not infinite knowledge.

you're presuming that God is somehow anthropomorphic and finite in its own right.
God is infinite context...infinite knowledge is the content of that context.
It's like with set theory(beware the wrath of math! ha ha)...the set of all Natural numbers goes from 0 to infinity...but it is still a subset of the Integers, which go from negative infinity to positive infinity. Both are infinite...but the greater is not a subset of the lesser.

you're looking at the glass half empty
infinite means to have no limits, no boundaries, no end.
- its not that He'll never know all of it but rather that His knowledge isn't limited.
if He did have limited knowledge, that would mean it would be possible for man to know more than Him - and not only would that be impossible, but it would be putting man on the same level as God and that's what Lucifer did before he fell from heaven...

But God himself is, by definition, infinite... (infinitely knowing, infinitely loving, etc.) I don't think this is a very penetrating question.
A better (and more interesting question) is - is God bound by the laws of logic? That is, can he violate logical laws (e.g., both exist and not exist)? Philosophers generally argue 'no', for the sake of being able to argue at all. theologians have been divided on the subject.

People often refer to God as the Great I Am, meaning he is, and was, and will be. I think that God knows everything because he IS in everything. He doesn't just know knowledge, but he is it. That's my theory on it. People often put God in a box, but I don't think it's necessarilly always correct to personify him. He has infinite knowledge because he is infinite, if that makes sense.

We serve an infinite God.

I think knowledge is infinite to man, but God isn't man now is He?

Well, since God created the earth and all within it; it stands to reason that he would know everything about it. This will of course include the galaxies, stars, etc. Wouldn't a designer know and understand all the intricate facets of his creation?

God is infinite,.... God is the creator of everything and He is all knowing.

God is infinite and beyond our finite ability to comprehend.
That is what I believe the Bible is all about.

No matter how hard you try you cannot make GOD to be like man. GOD is never ending and HE contains ALL knowlege. Without HIM or outside of HIM there is no knowlege at all.
