What would an infinitely benevolent, all-powerful God do with the universe? It goes without saying that He would eliminate all suffering, since He wants us to be happy and has the power to do so. But would he stop there? Imperfect humans have only a limited capacity for happiness. So obviously he would give us the ability to experience infinite happiness. Even so, the amount of happiness in the universe would be limited by our finite numbers. So He would create an infinite number of these beings, filling the universe with infinite happiness. No humans would be left in our imperfect state. Anything less would show a lack of caring, or less than infitine power, on God's part.
Therefore, the fact that we imperfect humans exist is proof enough that there's no benevolent, all-powerful God.
