Religion: does God know the future?

Self-tutoring about religion: the tutor examines a notion.

Often, talking about the future, you may hear someone say, “God knows.”

Yet, does God know the future? In Genesis 3.9, God asks, “Where are you?” to Adam and Eve. When Adam explains they are hiding because they are naked, God asks, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?”

Genesis verses 3.9 through 3.11 suggest that God is surprised that Adam and Eve have eaten from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Therefore, the Bible suggests to me that God does not always predict the future.
