There are some fairly simple relationships that conflict with the described nature of God. For example, if God were to actually know what would happen in the future then the future and past would be no different from the present. That would make the idea of free will and judgement moot. If the future is the same as now then there would be no free will and the idea of judgement would be silly since these judgements would have already happened.
If man is made in God's image and is therefore knowledgable enough to be judged then man's flaws must be reflected in God's nature as well. A flawed God however would not be a qualified judge.
God is described as the first cause or a cause without a cause and power from nothing. This curious since everything in the Judeo/Christian framework is based on limitations and effects based on cause. If God's essence is limitless and works without cause then this too removes the moral framework of the Judeo/Christian religion. As an example, we believe that stealing is wrong but is this the same if you were stealing from someone whose wealth was so vast that it would never be missed? Perhaps you wouldn't be expected to risk your life to save someone but what if you could save someone merely by twitching your forefinger? Would you have a moral imperative to do so? We notice that when the filmmakers put together "Bruce Allmighty" they made sure to include some pretty daunting limitations because the movie would have been pointless without them. If God has no limitations then every concept of morality is no longer valid. For example, how would God have the right to ask for sacrifice if he has never been without anything?
Further, the concepts associated with an existence in Heaven would make existence itself pointless. There would be nothing to nurture, nothing to strive for, nothing to create a greater joy and nothing to cause a greater pain.Without the need to eat, sleep, or rest and without the limitations of death everyday would be another day of existence with no purpose, unchanging forever.
If however the Uncertainty Principle is valid this would be supportive of free will. Free will would mean that God could not tell the future. This would invalidate the entire concept of prophecy and also indicate that God had limitations. Thus God would be essentially demoted to a demi-God. One would then have to wonder if a God who was bounded by the Universe would be capable of creating the Universe. Although I have to say that this notion was attempted to be bypassed by a fantasy author, "I cannot put forth my hand to help him, lest I break the Arch of Time and destroy all that I have created." However, this primarily just shifts the limitation rather than explaining why there is one.
Starting from almost anywhere any serious thought about God leads to contradictions. Finally, though I should mention René Descartes who had the famous line, "I think, therefore I am." He too strongly believed that he had made in the following statements and conclusions an unshakable proof for the existence of God. However, I've read his proof and his reasoning is severely lacking.
An early theory suggested that women had tiny people inside them that grew after conception. This concept was easily disproved by reasoning that therefore the tiny women inside women would also have tiny women inside them and so on and so on infinitely so that all of future humanity would have to be contained inside every woman. This notion is unreasonable. However, this description is applied daily to the concept of God. BTW, I've also seen the Indian proof and it is similar to Descartes'.

If you want to measure the universe, measure it and it will prove that God exists. The universe is too big to be made by anyone but God, so God had to have made it, and therefore God exists.

The fact that you're sitting at your PC, questioning his existence is all the proof that anyone should ever need.

how can you prove that he doesn't exist.
If you ask a question about religion, noticed how it's always answered with a question?
