Except you have not even stated your basis for believing this and not only do you continue to state your opinions ad nauseum , but you've resorted to agreeing with someone who disagrees with me like the parrot you are. And the rest of your post is honestly, really stupid. These are statements and questions that someone who is extremely ignorant would make, questions I asked as a child. Perhaps you should try the approach of being more open-minded instead of stating your conclusions without providing any reason. Stay in school.

Do you understand that?
God is described in Bible, therefore we know exactly what He is and I explained that God doesn't have to do anything He doesn't want to.

He knows what you will probably do. As we move forward in time (away from now) the probability of him knowing decreases. If God has unlimited knowledge then he can learn more. Maybe watching you chose helps him learn.
Where did you learn this stuff? Keep in mind that "time" means nothing to God. Omnipotence includes omniscience by definition, and that means God knows everything; He does not "learn" from us. Learning is a human attribute.
