And I'll put this in one last time in case someone else understands.


God foresaw picking option A.

In effect, he foresaw NOT picking option B.

Now, my question is, can he change to option B now?
I did mention that Divine Theory has it's gaps. Ultimately, nothing can explain true origins. Divine theory can at least tell us where energy and matter possibly came from, since there's no real scientific explanation. Of course, like you said, we then ask "Where did the creator come from?"

For the options A and B, I'm not sure I get it. If you mean God changing something in the world that is about to happen/has already happened, I'll have to say no/yes. At least, by the Christian example, God is not capable of looking into the future. When the people were building the tower of Babylon, he never saw it coming. Though when it did happen he was able to change it indirectly. Mainly by wiping the slate clean, but it still changed it.

It only further supports my clockmaker god belief.
