I mean, as the old saying goes, "actions speak louder than words" is a truth. Just because the Jewish and Christian God says he's all powerful doesn't make it so. It doesn't even make it so by his actions.

The Biblical version of God appears to simply be a wizard or something. A 'man' who has been given a great deal of magical powers. The Biblical God is something no more powerful than the lady's dad off of Bewitched or a genie that has escaped it's prison sentence.

I can picture, if there are, like, other gods; one god telling Jehovah, "Have you been telling the humans to worship you, again? How many times have I told you not to play with the earth?"

"Now just look what you did. What a mess. Go to your room!"

No!

If there is one so called omnipotent being, even by Biblical standards (through words), then God would be beyond human logic, and therefore could not be debated on such a level of human understanding and/or logic.

If there was a master-hand involved and somehow responsible for our existence, and our minds being so complex, imaginative, etc., then this being would have to be beyond what we call an imagination -- even mine, and therefore incomprehensible, non-anthropomorphic. And in conclusion beyond any sort of human logic. We can only speculate.

This conclusion also disproves every concept of God known to man.

Makes me feel all special inside. All evolution does is change the literal interpretation of Genesis.
