You're still overlapping the terms.

Omnipotence = writing the characters
Omniscience = having seen the movie

In a movie they don't deviate because they were written that way. That's not the same thing as knowing how a character will react.


I'll toss you a bone. You can argue we don't have free will because circumstances of your life have already been dictated (genetic code determines your height and hair color, your ability to understand algebra, etc). You'd still be wrong, but you'd have a better argument than saying knowing is the same as doing.
