Interesting thought experiment.
However, your definition of "doable" and "knowable" is from a finite perspective, thus the conundrum you've drawn.
God is infinite and eternal. The definition of infinite is all-inclusive. You can't add anything to infinite or subtract anything from it. Therefore what is doable as well as what is not doable are included, as is what is knowable and what is not knowable. God is infinite - all encompasing.
As concerns "good" and "evil", these are both distortions of the only thing that exists, Love - which is the infinite God. "Good" is defined as radiating the love of the Creator through a desire to serve others. "Evil" is defined as consuming the love of the Creator through a desire to serve the self. Both are simply the in and out pulsing of the love of the Creator. In addition, our perception of "good" and "evil" is rooted also in our finite perspective. God is infinite and eternal. All is in reality One. Therefore there is no actual separation and no real harm can come to any. From God's perspective this is all just a grand play on His stage of creation. No matter how may gun battles or car crashes you see on the screen, in truth the real actors are healthy and fine.
God is in your heart. He's waiting with eternal patience for you to seek him.

Q: "He's supposidly omnipotent, but He can only do what's doable."
A: HaHaHaHa - He created the world and I have seen
miracles - miracles are only done to those who
believe - according to one's faith.
Q: "He's supposidly omniscient, but He can only know what's knowable."
A: HaHaHaHa - He knows much more than we are capable
of knowing and created all that we can know and
more - so just because it can't fit in your brain, you are
saying this! God is so much wiser than we could
ever imagine and knows you much more than you
know yourself.
Q: "He's supposidly all good, yet there is evil in the world."
A: Evil comes from free will only, not from God.
Q: "He's supposidly everywhere, yet He's not in my heart."
A: It is your choice. God is loving and does not force you
to love back - that would not be love if He did that,
now would it?

He is omnipotent, but He only does that which is in His nature (He cannot lie).
He is omniscient, even your every thought, which is not knowable to anyone.
He is good, yet He allows His creation to choose evil.
He is everywhere, yet He is not in the tree (that's pantheism).
The "god" that you understand to be God is one that I wouldn't believe in either. The God of the Bible, however...I think you need to better understand that which you reject.

The Riddle of Epicurus
(Earliest known statement of the Problem of Evil)
If God is willing to prevent evil, but is not able to
Then He is not omnipotent.
If He is able, but not willing
Then He is malevolent.
If He is both able and willing
Then whence cometh evil?
If He is neither able nor willing
Then why call Him God?
people just create gods to explain the unexplainable and comfort themselves at the thought of death

I think that sounds like a poem and is incredible. Especilly "He's supposedly everywhere, yet He's not in my heart" I think you have some really great ideas, from other questions I've answered of yours. We should theorize sometime. If you have myspace, mine is www.myspace.com/comatose_whore

Irony is professing a non-belief in God, yet trying to understand the nature of God.

It's not ironic if you just think he/she/it initiated the formation of the universe but does not intervene in human events. It's up to us to use the brains we've been given to make things happen, and to choose whether we will do good or evil.

What I find ironic is that despite your views... you still took the time to subsconsciously use capital letters when identifying God, which is used to show Him respect and to magnify His Greatness... and supposedly He's not in your heart :)
Maybe you should re - think your last statement.

Irony is a human trait. Our curiosity and intelligence have spawned much since the creator made us and set us free in the world. Simply because G-d knows doesn't mean he will interfere. Prayer is for strength, not wish-fulfillment.
Your heart is not your own, and you know it.

These statements are all personal views.
Although i do not believe in organized religion, and i walk a pagan path, there is only 2 beliefs when it comes to "god"
god is everything, or god is nothing
