Have you seen the movie Lawnmower Man?

I would think that "God" wouldn't be limited to human knowledge of the universe/existence.

Also keeping in mind that human "knowledge" is often fallible.

Agreed. God has the power to create all kinds of life, something mere knowledge would not necessarily give a person the power to do. We, of course, can observe the beginnings of life from embryonic stages, and can combine already existing cells to start it in many cases.However, this is a who different kettle of fish from actually establishing the building blocks of life.

A choice from the gods, is as useless as the gods themselves.

Thanks Mephastophilis, yet fain would I have a book wherein I might behold all spells and incantations, that I might raise up spirits when I please.

Here they are in this book.

Now would I have a book where I might see all characters and planets of the heavens, that I might know ther motions and dispositions.

Here they are too.

Nay, let me have one book more, and then I have done, wherein I might see all plants, herbs and trees that grow upon the eath.

Here they be.

O thou art deceived!

Tut, I warrant thee.

Knowledge is knowledge... knowledge is not fallible. Human ability to recall knowledge is what's fallible.
