I suppose it depends on your definition of omniscient. I was defining it as knowing all that is happening, not all that will happen.

Cause and effect. If you know *all* that is happening *right now*, then you will know what *will* happen.

Actually, that only holds for classical physics. Following quantum mechanics, a particle can be in more than one state at once. It is not until it affects something that it solidifies into single state. Thus you could know the states of all the various particles at a single moment, but not know what will happen.
