The Babel fish is small, yellow and leech-like, and probably the oddest thing in the Universe. It feeds on brainwave energy received not from its own carrier but from those around it. It absorbs all unconscious mental frequencies from this brainwave energy to nourish itself with. It then excretes into the mind of its carrier a telepathic matrix formed by combining the conscious thought frequencies with the nerve signals picked up from the speech centres of the brain which has supplied them. The practical upshot of all this is that if you stick a Babel fish in your ear you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language. The speech patterns you actually hear decode the brainwave matrix which has been fed into your mind by your Babel fish.
Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mindbogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen it to see it as a final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God.
The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
"Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets killed on the next zebra crossing.
Man, that is one trippy historical turn of events.
Further, even if your god exists, that does not mean it's worthy of worship. In fact, any being who desires worship is most certainly not worthy of it.
if your god exists and is all-powerful, why have they allowed other religions to flourish?
Something something mysterious ways, human freedom necessary to be judged, yadda yadda
Judged by whom? God? If he's all knowing all powerful then he knows how I'll do in his simulation before I begin.
This proves that all religions are at least partially correct, and the most popular religions are the most correct
if all religions are asserted to be partially correct, would that also not imply that the other part of each religion is definitely wrong?
why then would a set of all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful beings set in place a whole ethic that's even partially incorrect?
Greek rules, the all powerful beings are petty jerks and basically cosmic internet trolls.
would that also not imply that the other part of each religion is definitely wrong?
Absolutely. Which justifies all the inter-religious wars. They've got to beat out all the heresies.

Can't make an omelet without cracking a few eggs.
Can't make an omelet without cracking a few eggs.
ah, but you see, an omnipotent being can make omelettes without cracking eggs. the word can't just isn't in their vocabulary.
unless, of course, one admits that these beings are not really as powerful as one imagines them to be!

Can you prove that?

If you're inventing a fictitious being, it can be as powerful or not as you imagine. But if we're posting a real thing, we're forced to concede some logical limits.
"You're not God because you didn't do things the way I imagined them to be" doesn't logically follow. No more than suggesting robots aren't real because they don't match what I saw once in an anime.

ah, so gods do have limits, then, yeah? they aren't all-powerful? agree?
