I've come to believe that...there is absolutely no one, no thing, that can know everything. I think this because, in order for one to know everything, it would have to be everything. if it were to be everything at once, nothing would exist.

I interpret 'all-knowing' as not so much a long list of every single thing there is to possibly conceive or perceive, but as a super intelligent intuition, a subconscious intelligence. So if you asked God a question and God wasn't listening, God would still know the right answer. Or if you wanted an idea for some biology research God would be able to guess what you were to discover if you took his advice, even though the research had never been done and there was no way of telling what might happen.
However I also have a theory that God is a template for mass populations, and their potential; maybe we are coming close to being all knowing (ie DNA, atoms, cloning) or maybe we are very far away, but I have a hunch that some people have already discovered everything there is to know and are drip-feeding us information using hypnosis, and that religion has manifested a determinism specifically for humans, something that we cant break out of... paranoia...
But, that would mean that we are God, which kind of makes sense really - we are becoming all-knowing, give the scientists a couple of hundred years and there probably wont be anything left to experiment with; we could well be omnipotent, if you take curing ills and causing death to be a symptom of power; and we are well on the way to becoming omniscient, I read the other day that there's now a satellite that can look through the clouds, there are probably cameras that could fit into people's eyes or on flies etc. So I think my theory isn't so outlandish, the big question is who set all this religion up?
