Many religions are very adamant that god is all-knowing. He sees you when you're sleeping, he knows.... Wait. Wrong guy, apologies.
Anyways, God knows everything. He knows all that has, is, and will happen. He knows the answer to ever question. However, this brings us a contradiction because obviously god cannot know what it is like to be ignorant in any way. What seems like a complete picture of God quickly deteriorates into god being part of a whole. God is not complete.
The result of this varies. Perhaps we exist so god can experience through us - that would be my take on it. This means that the idea of sin itself is "sinful", god desires experience. An all knowing being cannot be ignorant. An all powerful being cannot be weak. Am all capable being cannot be limited. Purely spiritual being cannot be physical. It seems to me that - assuming a god of this nature exists - this is the most logical reason for creation.
The problem of evil is solved - all experience is pure joy.
Freewill vs Determinism is solved - god is experiencing a lack of freedom.
The mind-body problem is solved - god experiences through the physical and so our minds come from our brain. Were the mind part of pure consciousness it would defeat the entire purpose.
