What I earlier wrote is :-
{Whether "God" cares about where every grain of sand is or not, does not come into it. I know lots of things that I don't really care about, but I still know them.}
i really dont know that god count how many sand grain are there, i believe he does not count because counting sand grain is pointless
and god is not irrational being
As I understand it, the moon being split in two is recorded in the Qur'an, as a miracle.
quran does NOT say that prophet split the moon..........muslims say that prophet split the moon
muslims say lot of nonsense with their mouth ......other are prophet is infallible and he can save them from hell....they say nonsense with their mouth

If "God" can move a mountain, or split the moon, (via some mortal agent) or cause a horse to fly,
quran does NOT say that prophet ride on flying horse.......muslims say that prophet ride on flying horse
muslims say lot of nonsense with their mouth
brother
i am happy to answer all your questions just make short and one at a time
Thanks,
Syed.
On the grains of sand, you still haven't understood what I've asked. I have asked what "God" knows, (in your belief).
In broad terms, the question is: Does "God" know every corner of the universe
??? Does "God" know where every star or planet is, does "God" know where every tree, rock, mountain, lake etc. are, does "God" Know where every atom and molecule are
???
The question is not about whether "God" counts, as much as
IF "God" wanted to know where all the grains of sand are, does "he" know it
???
We don't need to bother with "God" caring about the answer - I agree it is not important as a datum point, but the extent of "God's" knowledge is important. I think you already answered that "God" Knows everything that there is to know, except any act which is of human freewill which has yet been taken, (is to come in the future). I presume that "God" knows all of your decisions and actions
after you have made or done them.
I would conclude that if, as you say:
"God" Knows everything that there is to know, except any act which is of freewill, and has yet to come then "he"
must know where everything in the universe is to be found, (
without having to take a look). "He" must also know exactly how many atoms, molecules and grains if sand there are.
Being human, there are times when I can't find my keys. I have to go and hunt for them. But if I were "God" I ought to be able to say: 'Know exactly where your keys are, (and more than that, I know where all of the keys in the universe are, after all, I Know where every atom is, and keys are made of atoms).
I, (
Gila Guerilla), have no idea how many pairs of socks I own, but I could go and count them all. But if I was "God" I ought to be able to say exactly how many pairs of socks
Gila Guerilla owns, where they all are, what colours/patterns/designs they are, what types of material they are made of, and even how many atoms there are in the materials from which they are made.
Also if I was "God" I'd probably say: 'You know what, all that information about socks, I don't really care about it, but still, I do know it'.
This post really only asks one question, and I keep on about this question, because I need 100% clarity before I can proceed.
So to rephrase once again: Given the exception of human freewill, does "God" have knowledge of everything about every corner of the universe, now, in the past, and into the future, (as long as we have a universe)
???
The answer has consequences, and I cannot say what the consequences are until I know that you and I are in agreement about "God's" knowledge,
fore-knowledge and powers.
