:
He must know everything. Everything that is, everything that has been and everything that will be. To be able to know everything that will be he must know every position and every momentum of every particle in cosmos (Laplace's "World Spirit").
He must be worth our worship. A being that is not worth worshipping is no god.
He must be able to do anything. If there are things that god can't do, he certainly is not omnipotent.
He must be above time. Something that even St. Augustine deduced. But not only that, god must stand above all possible dimensions.
He cannot be 'good' or 'evil' or, indeed, have any subjective characteristica. If god is all good, he cannot do evil things and cannot be almighty. Most people would object and say that good can do evil but chooses not to do it. Well, if god is all good he can't choose to do evil things, can he?
If the evil in the world is intended by god he is not good. If it violates his intentions he is not almighty. God can't be both

That's right. And God loses to the Uncertainty Principle and Quantum Mechanics.

we've an academic equipment, the position we've examinations and reviews. Our purpose of having an academic equipment is to advance the criteria of all, yet only some get distinction. you've the outcomes and discover that few scholars fail too. The purpose of turning out to be the equipment changed into only to advance, yet no longer all get more advantageous. interior the due route you discover drop outs too. the mistakes is interior the known of novices only and under no circumstances interior the equipment or the purpose of the equipment. below one of those situation, Will you manage each of the novices to be equivalent of their overall performance? The opertunity given to each body is an similar, yet only some excell,certain others develop into above usual and a series of them bypass below the promotional factor, even as certain others go away the equipment as drop outs. If the drop outs accuse the equipment or the author of the equipment to be unfair, then the statement on my own is arbitrary. do no longer say that because the equipment changed into created to advance the criteria of the novices all novices admitted might want to were chosen with a acceptable high quality to excell. in the adventure that they already had the known, the position is the favor for an progression equipment in any respect. Please word that God created the Universe alongside with the livingbeings, with an purpose to furnish them sufficient opertunities to excell, yet those who avail it excell even as the drop outs grumble.

Creation occurs because energy explodes and
interfaces with Laws Of Physics.
The design is God's design.
There is no other design.
Atoms form according to the atomic chart,
and what we see is what we get.
Stars form first because Hydrogen and Helium
have the least amount of electrons, and the least
amount of resistance as atoms solidify.
Planets are not chips off of stars, just as the
world is not flat and we are not going to fall
off the edge.
All energy is it's own energy.
Evolution is a mirage of time and space.
Energy can only change when energy is
particle. When energy is in it's quantum
stage, no change occurs.
All energy comes and goes from restore points.
When energy returns to it's restore point,
it again explodes into it's original working
form, give or take 3%. (I can't prove this 3%)
Good and bad only exists in the human species.
If you want God to forgive you,
forgive one another
I hope this has been helpful

Our brains are pea sized compared to God's so who are we to say God can or cannot be thus?
He knows what is BEST and knowing that, He can
do as He sees fit and not as what we think is fit.
The word "God" means an object of worship.
He could have made a billion more angels to worship Him or even nature to worship Him but in His great wisdom,
He made a Plan of Salvation where that man would be created, would fall, would be redeemed again and would
love Him for the price He paid on Calvary to redeem man.
During this Plan of Salvation, God would allow certain obstacles and situations to take place in certain people's lives that served to display God's wisdom and Love for humanity and so many other attributes of God, displayed in the lives of His chosen sons and daughters, whose lives are written in the Old and New Testament for us to read and learn and wonder and rejoice at.
One does not "analyze" God. One believes in Him.
Either it is in us to believe or it isn't.
The agnostic is not sure and that's the same as not believing because to know Him is to love Him.
God is Omniscient. He knows all things before time was ever presented.
We cannot fathom the greatness of God because we are limited in our understanding but some day we shall
understand.
Meanwhile, we just believe because it pleases God that we believe His Words that He gave us, to understand His ways and His Plan of Salvation.

I see you are in search of knowing and understanding who God is. The books you are reading are good for information, but the only one who can truly answer all of your questions is God Himself. He choose to reveal who He is, His thoughts and His ways in a single book, the Bible. You have read numerous books and philosopies on God, but now you need to go to the source God Himself. The reason you are searching for Him is because He is drawing you to Him. Find a good study bible and just start reading in from the very beginning and work your way to the end. As you read ask God for understanding and to reveal what He is saying, why He said it. What it boils down to God wants a relationship with you and that relationship comes through faith in Jesus Christ? God is Good that is just one of His many qualities, but about all God is LOVE. As you read the bible, you get a true picture of who God is, why Jesus came to die for mankind, and will be able to separate fact from fiction.Who created the universe? That's like asking the question, what came first the chicken or the egg? For that answer you will have to go to Genesis and read about creation, the fall of mankind, and why mankind need a Savior. Not if God is Almighty, the scriptures (Bible)clearly tell us, that He is. I suggest you read Psalms 139. As you read the bible you will see that He is not evil and will not tempt any man do to evil, because He made us in His image and likeness He gave us the opportunity to decide between good and evil. He did not cause death, sickness, disease, famine, or war, hurricanes or other such things we attribute to an act of God. You can't know that if you don't know Him or who He is. Try getting to know Him for yourself.

Ok,
God isn't all things.
God is good. He "cannot" be evil. I John 1:5
"God is Light(good), in Him is no darkness(evil) at all."
Read the context for proof that light equals good and darkness equals evil.
God is sovereign, He is unique. God is God. He is Holy (separate, completely and perfectly different than any other thing)He does what He wills. "God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purposes." Romans 8:28
Your logical argument fails at your definitions of almighty...I doubt He has to submit to your standard of what God must be.

The evil in this world is not intended by God. God is love. Soon he will end the evil, and as the Bible puts it, no person will see harm.

That doesn't make sense. God is inherently good, since there is the existence of good. And it is not powerful to do something against your power. Therefore, God is all-powerful but he can't do everything. Because not everything is powerful, is it? He must be good because of the existence of good. So your premise and resulting argument is flawed.

He intended to give us free will. He gave us the choice. Your second quality is worship. He wanted us to chose to worship him, not because we have no choice. Wheather or not he created evil though,,, I think about it this way. When got created light he also created darkness, the absense of light. There can't be light with out darkness, so there can't be good with out evil.

You're doing it again.....*smile* stringing together statements and coming to conclusions that aren't necessarily correct.
If you really want to know about God, read the bible.
If you don't really want to know, keep asking these kinds of questions!
