This wouldn't make sense and classical proofs of God explain why.

It definitely could.

God could have set the events of creation in motion... without being able to totally write/alter all the laws of physics.

God could be extremely knowledgeable of everything in the universe, but still not know with certainty how the future will play out, especially if due to free will or just the random probabilities governing the fundamentals of quantum mechanics and their butterfly effects.

God could be extremely loving of all, but God's definition of love might not always match our definition of love.

You miss the point here and I understand why you do because it's difficult to understand. But it doesn't make sense. You're taking law in the sense of legality or rules and equating it with law in the sense of truth or how things really work. All-knowing and all-powerful are related since both depend on each other. All-knowing allows you to know what something is, how it is, and how it will operate. That doesn't mean you can just do whatever you want.

Example A - it's nonsensical to think God can create another being/God that holds everything God does.

Example B - If a square is something that has 4 sides, 4 angles, adds up to 360 degrees, and every angle is the same, a square won't lose those properties. a square can't become a circle.

Say this out loud and tell yourself how this makes sense. It doesn't.

God is objectivity. That's an attribute. Humans aren't. Our conception of love is either flawed, inconsistent, a contradiction, or not even love. We just call it that because we lack knowledge.
