For the original question, look up the First cause argument by Thomas Aquinas.
God is omniscient and omnipotent.
You're missing a major qualifier of the existence of god and that is that he is omnibenelvolent. Now I don't know about anyone else but I'm pretty sure if we look what was happened even in the past century that it's self-evident that he's none of these things.
To the main question of the topic, everyone here has pointed to scriptural and philosophical interpretations of a omniscient, omnipotent and omnibenelvoent God but hasn't produce and actual concrete evidence for his existence.
This might set some people off (hopefully it doesn't) but referencing book that has a litany of evil, devious and immortal attitudes towards humanity itself to the point where the modern christian is force to either completely disregard half of its book in its entirety or claim it's some sort of metaphor is not a very good place to cite your evidence.

I don't believe in a god, just putting that out there now.
I find it ironic that the Jesus's Father (Or himself? That whole trinity debacle is confusing) would exterminate millions of his own people for the sake of "population control". It's more ironic that not only God repeats this same genocidal habit of "population control", but he does it to the same set of ethic people throughout history.
Makes you wonder if Hitler, Stalin, and Lennin were terrible people or if there were just acting as an extension of God's Will or both?

We can still explore what He created, by using what He also created: Science.
None taken. I ignore insults I get when people learn that I'm Christian.
God lets bad things happen so that He can draw a greater good from them. Let me tell you a story, this happened to me before.
One day, in 2012, my dad suffered a major heart attack and made it through the first night. It was like this and the doctors were doubting. At that time I began to question to know why God let this happened, and then I cleared my mind. The doctors set up surgery date and my family hoped that my dad would make it to the one of longest and important day of my life - open heart surgery. It took 6 hours, possibly more, surgeon managed to complete the surgery and made it successful.
So, in a way: God tests us to see if we'd remain faithful. At that day, it was one of a miracle from God. It's like God tested Abraham and Job. When things get taken away, we get blessed by the Lord. (Call me out if I repeated this 3 times). I was tested several times this year, and last year. It's tough trying to grow when you let bad things take over your mind.
This whole theory of "it's just a test of faith" is nothing more then a failure of understanding the totality of evil that has happened in the world. To think that there is always net positive result of one "God's Test" is a ludicrous stance. It's the ultimate "get away with imposing bad shit on the world" free card every religious person tries to pull in an argument.
I wholeheartedly reject the notion that the reason why unfortunate events happened to human beings is test of faith. What kind of all-knowing entity subjects their creation to cruel, tedious and just flat-out unnecessary trials?
Furthermore why would anyone in their right mind would ever worship yet alone acknowledge such an entity?
1 hour ago, Benroy said:Conflating Greek Gods and the God of Judao-Christian origins is intellectually dishonest. You don't have thousands of years of historical accounts from multiple sources and different languages on multiple continents to contest to the veracity of the claims of Greek Gods. Instead, you have different cities in which admittedly these "gods" were created as a representative for each different city, similar to a home team in sports. You don't have specific references to specific people like you do in the New Testament for example, such as Caiphas or Pilate, one of whose tomb has been found and the other whose house has also been found.
Again, like I said, our brains aren’t meant to understand/comprehend it.

This. One of this map stage bosses is difficult as hell. If I recall it had this gimmick where he would heal if people shot at him during a specific phase. You would also have to fight against the boss the defend against zombies at the same time. Rewards could be the lego block skin.

How come GFL haven't apply to get access to customs servers on PUBG? Is it because there isn't enough people interested in it or is it because the game is still in early access? Or other reasons? I'm legit curious because GFL has a substantial playerbase and would get accepted easily and I know many of you actively play or at least know about the game.

Fuck Discord and Teamspeak. We need to make some Ventrilo servers :^]

As if the world wasn't "interesting" enough. I hope for the sake of everyone in these countries that this is just political posturing.

I don't know why the 2nd option is up there. If you want a server back but wont help it grow or repopulate then you might as well leave it dead.

Meh why not.

Certainly in a decline. But not really dying imo. TBH I still blame the faggoty hackers that held this website hostage last summer. They did some pretty damn irreversibly damage to this site and community.

I'm not quite sure if this counts as a suggestion or a complaint or not and I don't know if this is the right section to place it in so if it isn't please move it to somewhere else.
I'm not trying to attack anyone personally or anything and I do understand being an admin can be hard and frustrating but at the very least have some here needs to be some level on consistency when enforcing some rules. There's admins that say "x" when other admins say "y". It causes too much confusion which leads to people being false VG, freekilling and massive verbal shitposting. One of the best examples I can think of this is what happened to be the other day.
One Admin said, "On an LR if someone cheats and kills and a CT but the other CT's weren't paying attention and didn't see it, you can't kill him."
But another admin says, "On an LR if someone cheats and kills and a CT but the other CT's weren't paying attention and didn't see it, you can't kill him. Unless you look in console to see who killed who. Then you can kill the T that cheated."

If God created the universe then who created god?

The image size look much more obnxious than I thought it would be my bad ):
Also thank to whoever moderator congest all my responses into one post. +1 to whoever that is. Had no idea I made a string of responses.
If God created us to have free-will, by extension he also created evil to some degree which again means he's not omnibenevolent.
Also, what about the people who were born into certain circumstances such has having mental disabilites or impaired vision or whatever other birth defect you can name? Was it their free-will to obtain certain ill-ness?
Here's my thoughts on free-will.

It's a short abridge version of his podcast but the general message is there.
I never quite said or at least insinuated that bad experiences doesn't bring personal growth. My problem with that argument is that it's faulty by design. Let me set the picture.
Your own personal experience with your father (Glad the surgery worked out by the way) helped you grow emotionally as a person.
However, what about another person who wasn't so lucky ended up loosing his father which eventually drove that person and his family into depression which later drove them into making irresponsible self-detrimental decisions? What if those decisions end up costing their own or someone else's life?
My whole problem of the "It's apart of god's plan" theory is that it gives a person an opportunity further legitimizes illegitimate behavior and actions committed by people.
This further illustrates what I mean:
