Swami, you love to tease. I love to return favors so here goes...
Umm, whom was I teasing?

Here's the defintion of "omniscient": total knowledge, all knowing

Notice the definition does not require a time period in which the knowledge is learned.
Huh? I know things after they happen. Big deal! Incomplete knowledge is far from TOTAL knowledge.

The only requirement is that all knowledge be known, not when.
I too, am omnisicent because I know everything, just not yet.

How can God forget? Because He chooses to.
You ask "how" (methodology) and reply with "because" (motivation).
Semantics aside, once again according to you, I am omniscient because I know everything, I just forgot most of it (like where in the hell did I leave my keys?).

He is in complete, total control of His identity, personality, and character.
Just like the Swam. Man, he must be one cool dude.

The proof is in the pudding.

How can I not be cool? I was created in the "Image and Likeness of God"?

A theory that resonates with me is that mushrooms are DIRECTLY responsible for our developement into homo sapiens. (Any devoted McKenna reader knows what I'm talking about) ... a feedback loop created in the minds of our ancestral primates causing us to evolve this way into rationalizing, sentient tool-making concept builders.

It strikes me that eating the fruit of the knowledge of good & evil is an excellent metaphor for developing conciousness and individual identity.

Genesis 3.22: (words in italics are MINE.)

In reply to:

Then the Lord God said, "See, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil; ( Who IS the almighty talking to here, anyway? )
and now, he might reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever.

If, as McKenna deduces, we stand at the cusp of our next evolution.... if fractal time is really about to be revealed... if indeed we stand at a moment when humankind will make the necessary evolutionary adjustments so that we percieve higher dimensions (take that linear notion away from time... See also Michio Kaku's great book "Hyperspace") isn't that second forbidden fruit an excellent metaphor for this UFO, or ingression into novelty or whatever you want to call it?
