It stands to reason that if God existed, then that fact wouldt be incontrovertible...and readily apparent, especially to the learned..

Ok, for the slow ones, Omnipresent means "Present everywhere" making something that is present everywhere, inescapable, and therefore OBVIOUS.....stands to reason, right?

The sentence has a subject, a predicate, and an object. in that order, the syntax is correct, and the use of existed, here, is correct...

Since omnipresent is that which Exists throughout all space and place and time...
Do parents know their children obviously and inescapably and the children know their parents likewise ?
The Deists Curiously perceived God to Exist in the Distant Past or the Remote Future--God Being Immediately Perceivable in the ALL that Surrounds us, Nature and ALL...ALL=Everything IS GOD...
And I like to continue in that and say that we Humans in the Now Time are also indeed God and therefore Divine Humans who Exist in the Present or Now Time on Earth...
Being Created by God are we not as well as God ? And thereby Godly ? I think yes.
It is all Perception and Point of View.
God Loves to Create and Enjoys Great Diversity...
That the Earthian Human Experiment seemed to go astray as it descended into the Lower Frequencies of Fear and Judgement and the karmic duality as Opposed to LOVE which is a Higher Frequency--does not mean God does not exist but Rather than Man and Humanity as a Whole have Rejected God and Set up a Disconnection which is but a Veil of Illusion...
We as humans can Exist as both One and Many with God and are not Separate per se...The Whole being greater than the sum of its parts and all...and yet we remain Connected...
WELL, Hope you have Somethings to Dwell upon...

Not just that, but being omnipresent, God would be everything. Anything separate from God would automatically make the conception of God being "omnipresent" a false one, as there would be something separate from God, to whatever degree.

All things are God. All that exists is part of God. God is all knowing. It is not that God "could know anything". It is that "God KNOWS everything". All knowledge that could exist, does exist, in God.

God is all powerful in the same way. It isn't that God COULD do anything. It's that GOD DOES EVERYTHING.

Everything that could exist, does, somewhere, somewhen. EVERYTHING.

Look around you. Perceive.

Can't get more obvious than that.

You're looking right at him.

Inescapable yes, but as for obvious... not by definition. That something all-mighty and all-knowing would be obviously noticed seems implied, but not included in the technical defintition of omnipresent. It is a common archetype that a wise (possibly omnipotent) old man can know so much, but have so little known of him.

air is every where but we cant see it, atoms are everywhere, not so obvious. G-D is something that some choose not to believe in but thats kinda a gamble. omnipresent-doesnt mean inescapable and obvious. also rephrase ur question so it makes sense

No it just means ; " present everywhere at the same time". That's how the dictionary defines it. It may or may not been obvious, but it would be inescapable.

No...

Inescapable, yes... obvious, no. Since God is infinitely "bigger" and more powerful than anything in the universe he created, it stands to reason that beings in that universe will only be aware of what he chooses to make known.

Omnipresent means "present everywhere".
It doesn't mean obvious or incontrovertible.

Unless we habituate to the effect by the time we are old enough to understand it. ever been in a room with a humming refrigerator and not heard the hum after a while? Same thing is (logically) possible here.

Well, it certainly means present everywhere, does the definition require that the presence be noticeable?
