Omniscience

A word that means "all-knowing," this is usually applied to God.

There is some dispute about what "all" actually means. Does God literally know everything?

Mathematics
Does god know π (pi) and all other irrational numbers for example to an infinite number of decimal places? If so God must be infinitely complex and statements by theologians that God is simple are untrue. Incidentally God or whoever wrote 1 Kings 7:23 did not know π, there π is given as exactly 3. Is π 3.14159etc or is π exactly 3? Teaching the controversy would confuse some school children while the more intelligent and older children would come to doubt the Bible.

Free will and predestination
Does god know not only everything that has happened, but that also might happen? If so, then in what sense does free will exist? If all your decisions are known by God before you make them then it's not clear if you are really making any "choices" since all the things that you do are predestined.

In a universe with a truly omniscient God, the Calvinist doctrine of predestination would have to be true. This carries its own set of issues, as it implies that God intentionally creates people already knowing that they will wind up in hell, see Maltheism.

Evil
Finally, if God is not only omniscient but also omnipotent and omnibenevolent, then this is the foundation for the problem of evil.

Biblical Contradictions
Fundamentalist Christians believe in the infallibility of the Bible, yet there are arguable contradictions to the issue of God's omniscience.
