like my experience making world models in a computer, so can a creator and watch his creation turn out surpizes after surpizes.
but that too is just a theory.
I too have had this thought about a creator which inputs a program for the universe with random results unpredictable by him. If fact it would be the only God that would make any sense to me given the randomness around us. The problem with this type of logic (if it is logic) is that most people who beleive in God consider him/it all knowing and all powerful. Therefore just because you can't predict the outcome of your own computer program does not necessarily mean that an all knowing God could or would be able to do the same.
I guess this is very similar to the question of can God create a rock heavier than he can lift? In other words are his powers finite or infinite? Or are his powers simply made up
