Does God throw loaded dice?


DOES GOD THROW LOADED DICE?
This question goes to core of what many believers in God take as fact...that is, God is all-knowing.
Throughout the Bible, God is said to possess emotions typically found on a human level....God gets angry, jealous, disappointed, sorrowful etc. However, unlike humans who experience these things because they have limited awareness of life's contingencies and turns of events, God should have no share in these emotions simply because nothing should take him by surprise (such as the outcome as a role of dice). Could it be, that the God of the Bible is really nothing more than a human writ large (similar to the gods of Greek Mythology).
