    I don’t think all-knowing exist outside of fiction, and neither do God.

    But just for fun, I think there is an interesting way religious people would answer, and a more satisfying one than just saying God’s works in mysterious way.

    See we can see free will as a God given power to make choice in a otherwise deterministic world.

    The testing would just see what we do with his power.

    And since it comes from him, it could be outside of something knowledgeable, outside of the “all”.

    Or, at least to make him or his powers outside of the “all” would be the best solution to paradoxes like can ‘God create a rock he can lift?’ etc…

    P.S. Obviously another way to answer the paradox and my personal belief is to discard the reality of words like all-knowing or omnipotent. But i think this view has some merits, it can’t probably be better put philosophically… (I’m not a philosopher thought ^^)
