Yes, a combination of attributes such as omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, transcendence, omnibenevolence, etc. is logically impossible.

Of course they can't.
Their only argument against evolution is the novel they believe they have to live their lives by.

Okay, HERE's one for both sides of this argument....
SINCE God is all-powerful, couldn't He have created all of creation "as it is," so to speak. Why couldn't God have created the earth with billion-year-old dinosaurs already "in place"? Why couldn't He have created the sun and planets "in a snap" already "aged" 3-billion years old? What is TIME to God? How can you say God is all-powerful and then LIMIT His power by saying that He can't do such things? Why must time have "begun" when God said "GO" especially since He has existed from time immemorial (from everlasting TO everlasting)?
To give a more "understandable" example... Say you had magical powers, and you were hungry. You say, "abracadabra!" and a bowl of chili appears on the table before you. How "old" is that chili? It is 1 second old because it "just appeared" a second ago? Or say we "tested it" and the test scientifically, and accurately concludes that the chili is 2 hours old (considering the preparation and cooking time). Are we then so SURE it's not 2 hours old or still only 1-second old... but remember, we SCIENTIFICALLY TESTED the age of the chili, and our test PROVED it was 2-hrs old!!!
NOW the question is: Why don't the "Evolutionists" believe THIS theory of Creationism?

Well it's like Sasqautch, the lack of evidence is always countered with "you can't prove it's not real..." Evolution has too many missing pages in the fossil record is the problem, yet if you study ancient celtic mythology far back to where that of India split off after these people migrated out of Africa, you can see where a lot of the basic fundamentals of classical religions was formed long before Christ. So evolution, or global warming, is just another theory of why things happen the way they do.

You'd be able to see the evidence if you'd open your eyes. However, a theory cannot really be proven. It can be supported, but not proven.
Think of it like Pythagoras' theory about right triangles. You know, a^2+b^2=c^2? It may work every time, but it is still not technically considered proven.

no. there are SO MUCH evidence supporting evolution. for example, fossil records, biochemical evidence (DNA and RNA, proteins, and such), and vestigial organs, like the human appendix. and so much more.
but ya, if you wanna dispprove it, i guess you can say that no one has actually lived and recorded the billions of years of evolution. so it is not absolute that evolution has occured. that is the only thing you can say to argue against evolution. unless you're a christian and say that human beings were made special under god and that we were placed on earth when god created the universe.

Let us suppose that millions of years ago a cell was formed which had acquired everything necessary for life, and that it duly "came to life". The theory of evolution again collapses at this point. For even if this cell had existed for a while, it would eventually have died and after its death, nothing would have remained, and everything would have reverted to where it had started. This is because this first living cell, lacking any genetic information, would not have been able to reproduce and start a new generation. Life would have ended with its death.

The existence of George Bush is categoric evidence that the theory of natural selection at the core of Darwinian evolutionary theory is incorrect.

No can you prove God is false? Neither of us will accept the others evidence, We have a standoff suck it up and live with it.

Scientist can't 'prove' it, that's why it's called a theory. Just like any form of deity is a theory.

No.
(And you have to know this is coming...)
It's very easy to assert the Existence of God is false......
But can you PROVE it?
Edit:
I hope you're "additional details" were not offered as proof, because it reads as nothing more than another "easy assertion".
