In RE at my school we learn that christians beleive that god is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. It's true that almost all christians I have met hold this position, I'm just wondering where it came from.
I haven't read the whole bible so I'm not sure if it sais god is these things somewhere in it, but I've read the first part of the king james version of genesis.
If he was omniscient he would not have called for adam asking where he is.
If he was omnipresent he wouldn't be walking through the garden of eden.
Does anyone know when and why people started beleiving god was omniscient and omnipresent?

Genesis 3:
7: And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
8: And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
9: And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10: And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11: And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
12: And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
