ABSTRACT
God's omniscience consists in his knowing everything, that is, in his knowing the truth of every true proposition. Knowing the truth of every true proposition must be taken to include knowing the falsity of every false proposition, that is, knowing, about every false proposition, the true proposition that it is false. Hence God must know the truth of negative propositions as well as of affirmative ones. God presumably also must know hypothetical propositions, including unfulfilled conditional propositions. For example, he must know the hypothetical proposition that if an object is an Euclidean triangle its angles must add up to 180°. There is an apparent oddity involved in God's knowing some propositions, such as that Tom is either a fool or a knave, or that someone must have been responsible for planting the Brighton bomb, or his knowing that if this is an Euclidean triangle, its angles must add up to 180°.
