   The above falls into a category of logical conundrums which don't   
   alter the basic premise.  I stipulate for arguments' sake that making   
   something from nothing, precisely defined, qualifies as an act of a   
   godlike agent.

   Omnipresence is different from omnipotence.   
      
      
   >Wouldn't that be the hope for what God's choice is ?   
      
      
   Whatever choice doesn't alter the fundamental flaw in using gods as   
   explanations.
