1. Biblical Studies journal vol. 9, Number 2 From Dust, Again by Bill Moore, August 24, 2008
This journal gives a personal view of the authors beliefs. I can use this towards my paper because I am going to mention my personal beliefs on the topic as well as other people's opinions. I can show different views from different people.
2. Biblical Studies journal volume 5, Number 1 The Nature of Deity: God the Creator by Greg Tidwell, March 28, 2001
I am using this journal because it gives a good explanation of God and the beginning of things. It talks about his being and what his purpose is.
3. www.parentcompany.com/awareness_of_god Awareness of God-attributes of God, God is Omnischient lesson 12
I did not want to use books only so I chose this website. I like this website and it looks like it can be helpful because this is the main topic of my paper. The post on the website does talk about why God is omnischient so i can use references from here as well as my other sources.
4. Information Storage and the Omniscience of God draft:2003-08-15 by Hollis R. Johnson (Indiana University) and David H. Bailey (Lawrence Berkeley National lab)
I need information on the idea that wraps around God being Ominscient and this book is perfect for it. It gives examples as to why one would or would not believe whether he is almighty. Again. I need to bring up both sides in my paper so this should be a good one.
5. Concise Theology- A Guide to Historic Christian Beliefs by J.I. Packer (Tyndale House publishers, Inc, Wheaton, Illinois-1993)
This book explains different beliefs about Christians. For example, why one would believe something and what pushes them to believe that. I have to talk about why people believe some of the things they do and also there are quotes from the bible backing up their beliefs.
6. www.equip.org/perspectives/omniscience Omniscience: Does God know all things?
I really want to use this website because it kind of messes with your head a little bit. It brings up ideas and points out certain things like "If God is omnishcient then why wouldn't he stop the devil and his evil ways before hand?" It brings up a few examples and leaves you really thinking about things.
7. The Possibility of an All-knowing God volume XCVIII No.1 by Jonathan L. Kvanvig, St. Martins Press, 1989.
This book may be a little old but, I think it will be a very useful one because unlike the journal above this one that gives doubts, this one gives you security. You can say it persuays you in a way to believe why God would be all-knowing and also, it shows quotes from the bible so back up beliefs.
8. http://www.everystudent.com/ Exploring questions about life and God- Is there A God? by Marilyn Adamson
This journal basically questions the notion of whether there is even a God. In my paper I will be talking about God and why people even do believe in him. I also will be talking about why people do not believe in him.
9. Journal of Experimental Social Psychology- Journal Homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/jesp
Science and God: An automatic Opposition between Ultimate Explanations By Jesse Preston- Dept. of Psychology (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaigh) and Nicholas Epley (University of Chicago)
This book is probably the most unique from the rest. Not only does it talk about religion but, it also talks about science. Science and religion have come into conflict throughout history, and one reason is because the two have explanations that go against each other for many of the same phenomena. I can use this book to talk about why one person would believe that there is a God that created the universe or why one would believe everything is based on science and evolution.
10. The Holy Bible New International Version -Containing The Old Testament and The New Testament, Zondervan Bible Publishers, Grand Rapids, Michigan
The Holy Bible is going to be my favorite source to use because this is a book from stories that have been told and passed down from biblical scholars. The Bible explains everything from the beginning, when God created the universe. I will be using many direct quotes from the bible on why one would think he is omnischient or why one would believe that he is not.
I need to double check some of my sources because some of them aren't accurate. I need sources coming from actual scholars. I may also want to minimize my topic and only talk about the way God is not omnishient from the chapters Genesis through Judges. Talk about why those chapters stand out to you the most. Also, give more background information about the bible. For example, the different versions.
