Anything God wants he simply commands into existence but do you think he does not have knowledge or need to have knowledge how things work?

He does not know relatively, quantum mechanics,  chemistry or any scientific stuff because he does not need to.  Same as if you had magic or supernatural powers you could command a car to appear before you,  get in and drive it away without any knowledge about what it is made from, the engine or how it operates. 
Do you think God is bothering to learn from human scientific achievements if he is not too busy with spiritual stuff?

    Haven't you ever heard of alchemy?   Scientific elements are not stable but change to other elements according to fixed laws.

    Alchemy isn’t science

    Perhaps not officially but its scientific - you can't do it without science.

    A clay form becoming alive seems a little far out even for science fiction.

    Frankenstein.

    In the original, the "monster" was not pieced together from dead bodies - but was made from clay.
    (which has always made me wonder if Mary Shelley "borrowed" the idea from the idea of golems)

    Kittigate talks to God: "God, we don't need you any more. Why, we can even make a man from dust, same as you did."

    God says "Hey go for it. That's worth seeing. Kittigate stoops and grabs a handful of dirt.

    "HOLD ON!" roars God. "Get your own dirt. That's mine."
