I think this proves clearly that god does NOT exist.
They always say "god is everything", but you proved the opposit.
Congratulations!
God is nothing

I think you need to get your sense perception checked. God is a Spirit. Your little perception test proves nothing.
Lots of people feel God. God touches many peoples lives. Just because you have closed your eyes and mind to Him, doesn't make Him cease to exist. Sorry. You didn't prove anything, except the fact that you don't know Him. Lots don't. Doesn't make the rest of us without Him, just because you don't have (know) Him.
It's like this, you know you have a brain, because you feel and live with the results of having one. Well, I've never seen it, so -- say I refuse to believe in it. Does that make you stupid or brain dead? No, it just means that I've never been around you.
You can close your eyes and say the sun isn't up there too, but I live in the sun, I know what solar power is, so you cannot convince me that there is no sun. YOU are the one with the closed eyes. Same with God. I pray that your spiritual eyes will be opened.

Well you have pretty much described that god doesn't exist, so I'm not sure what your point is. I think you have missed the definition of nothing. I got this from dictionary.com:
noth·ing
No thing; not anything: The box contained nothing. I've heard nothing about it.
No part; no portion: Nothing remains of the old house but the cellar hole.
One of no consequence, significance, or interest: The new nonsmoking policy is nothing to me.
n.
Something that has no existence.
Something that has no quantitative value; zero: a score of two to nothing.
One that has no substance or importance; a nonentity: “A nothing is a dreadful thing to hold onto” (Edna O'Brien).
adj.
Insignificant or worthless: “the utterly nothing role of a wealthy suitor”
Notice how it says nothing is something of no existence. So therefor your attempt at proving the existance of god by using the word nothing has backfired and you proved yourself wrong.

Nothingness=God.
Experiencing Nothingness is like experiencing God that is why anyone who has ever experienced God can never fully describe it, as it is a nothing; nothing is experienced by a nothing, as there no longer exists a separate experiencer than the experience itself. You can no longer say that I experienced this or that, as in that moment you become one with the experience, such Oneness cannot be described only experienced. Infact any experience of oneness is an experience of nothing, be it through art, or music, or through sexual communion.
When you become nothing, you too become the one with the one that is nothing, only when the wave becomes the ocean can it experience the ocean, not by remaining as the wave can it ever experience oneness with the Ocean.
You become the experience, or vice versa or simply you become one with the experience.
There you have it, the absolute formula for enlightenment; the day you become nothing you also become everything. Nothingness or the Shunya experience as explained in Vedic text is the experience of Godhood, it is the beginning of an enlightened life; a life lived in the light of Oneness.
Nothingness is also called the state of no mind, when there is no mind, there are no questions asked, no queries are posed by the mind as there is no ego left to question or doubt the existence other than what it is, in front of you, right in this moment as it is. That is why in the stillness of the moment, the mind disappears and so does the ego self.
Without ego there is no separate identity to decipher between what’s mine and what belongs to another, an external phenomenon than mine - Oneness descends, and with Oneness true knowledge dawns within, you become one with the Cosmic mind, the knower and the cosmic pool of consciousness.
Even as you start moving towards it, you will notice that you question less and less, you have start accepting life just the way it is, more and more, hence you fight less and less, struggle less and less and start becoming more and more joyous. You float on the flow of life, as you become the flow and with oneness you drop all the trials and tribulations of life as you no longer are the ego self, you have just become your larger or higher self.
We are all on our way to become enlightened as that is why we come here again and again, to see the light within.

God is the Absolute Truth, the source of everything material and spiritual. All around us we are surrounded by energy and we ourselves are divine energy. What is the source of all this energy? There must an energetic source. This is just common sense. Does anyone have any experience of energy having no source? Every color, smell, volume, mass, etc. etc, that exists in this world has its source in the transcendental sphere. This material world is just a perverted reflection of the reality, the transcendental world. And the eternal energies that manifests the spiritual world and the living beings that inhabit it are also emanations from the Supreme Lord. He is the energetic source of everything, so He cannot be nothing. This huge variety of spiritual and material energy cannot come from nothing.
But you are partially correct if you were to understand that the Lord's color, smell, mass, etc. was not material, but completely transcendental. His body is completely spiritual, unlimited by any form of measurement or inspection. Every part of the transcendental body of the Lord can perform the function of any other part. Simply by His desire the entire cosmic manifestation is created, maintained and destroyed. He pervades the material world by His plenary expansion known as Paramatma to accompany us in our fallen state, giving us the result of our desires and action. At the same time He has His eternal pastimes of love with His devotees in the transcendental sphere, which is full of every variety of color, smell, etc.

Very wrong.
The biggest error is that you assume that 11 characteristics is ALL that defines God and nothingness.
This fallacy can lead to ridiculous results
For example here is my proof that Cats and Dogs are the same:
Here are Specifications of Cats:
1. Four Legs
2. One tail
3. 2 eyes
4. one head
5. 2 ears
6. one tongue
7. one brain
8. one mouth
9. fur
10. kept as pets
11. predators
Here are Specifications of Dogs:
1. Four Legs
2. One tail
3. 2 eyes
4. one head
5. 2 ears
6. one tongue
7. one brain
8. one mouth
9. fur
10. kept as pets
11. predators
Result:
Dogs=Cats
As you can see this is ridiculous, for your arguments to work you must prove that these 11 are the ONLY specifications! I.e. for two things to be equal ALL their specifications must be the same -- not just some[1]. And even this principle is sometimes criticized.[2]

I think you just proved that god doesn't exist. Nothing is nothing. If god is all powerful, can he create a rock that he can't lift?

Your specification of GOD is wrong. GOD IS EVERYTHING. GOD is a Spirit so you can use your nothing equation to quantify Him.Whatever exist either animal or man shows that GOD is and does exist.

Unfortunately, I cannot agree with your argument or equation. I believe that God is knowable. People are making this more difficult than it is. Children resemble their parents. As children of God, we resemble our Heavenly Parents. We used to know God very well, but we have forgotten temporarily what we used to know. Have a happy day.
