What's the difference between you will the event to happen and you knew the event will happen? Which one has a greater degree of control, the former or the later?
If such event really occurred, do you consider that you remote controlled someone to complete the task(event) is the same as you did it yourself (with someone else as a tool)?
Now, here comes the question: How does god operate?
Is he a one man army, who is the general, the captain, and the soldier? Is he accountable for every act the army did, from building the castle to defending it? Do you think god created this universe and make sure every particle works the way it suppose? If you think it's too much or too trivial for god to handle, just like you don't care your computer's CPU is now having 1 millivolt less than the manual spec'ed, then I have an alternative model for god.
In this model, god operates like a gang. He did create the gang and become the mob boss. But he only controls the important stuff, like his lieutenants and master plans, but never his hoods and the detail works. In this case, god will obviously ignore most of the men because given the size of the universe, a supernova is much more noticeable than the birth/death of a man. It's like when you build your own computer, which one do you care more, the screen or the microcode inside the CPU when you turn on the power?
It all boils down to detail control or abstract control. Detail control gives the ability of all knowing, but eliminates free will and the concept of god, because everything is part of god. Abstract control allows free will and the concept of god, but eliminates the ability to know before hand because there is not absolute control.
