Z,
It seems like you are trying to make God in your own image, more like us, more human, or more fallen-human. God, the author of life and all creation, seen and unseen, is not contained or restricted by His creation, no more than an novel's author is confined by the story that he is writing.
As was stated before, knowing that something will happen does not mean causing it to happen, like if I see someone drop an egg from their hand, I KNOW it will fall to the ground, but I do not cause it to hit. I might even know that he will drop it, (give a toddler in a high chair something and first he puts it in his mouth, then throws it to the floor) but that doesn't mean I cause it to happen. It's impossible to know God fully or even know about Him fully, but I know this for sure: the more we make God like us, to try to better understand Him, the farther away we actually get from truly knowing Him.
Here's a quote from Cd Newman about his definition of God (who is infinitely beyond us):
"I mean then by the Supreme Being, one who is simply self-dependent, and the only Being who is such; moreover, that He is without beginning or Eternal, and the only Eternal; that in consequence He has lived a whole eternity by Himself; and hence that He is all-sufficient, sufficient for His own blessedness, and all-blessed, and ever-blessed. Further, I mean a Being, who, having these prerogatives, has the Supreme Good, or rather is the Supreme Good, or has all the attributes of Good in infinite intenseness; all wisdom, all truth, all justice, all love, all holiness, all beautifulness; who is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent; ineffably one, absolutely perfect; and such, that what we do not know and cannot even imagine of Him, is far more wonderful than what we do and can. I mean One who is sovereign over His own will and actions, though always according to the eternal Rule of right and wrong, which is Himself. I mean, moreover, that He created all things out of nothing, and preserves them every moment, and could destroy them as easily as He made them; and that, in consequence, He is separated from them by an abyss, and is incommunicable in all His attributes. And further, He has stamped upon all things, in the hour of their creation, their respective natures, and has given them their work and mission and their length of days, greater or less, in their appointed place. I mean, too, that He is ever present with His works, one by one, and confronts every thing He has made by His particular and most loving Providence, and manifests Himself to each according to its needs; and has on rational beings imprinted the moral law, and given them power to obey it, imposing on them the duty of worship and service, searching and scanning them through and through with His omniscient eye, and putting before them a present trial and a judgment to come."
Peace,
