Not so. God/Jehovah is not omnipresent, though he is aware of everything going on in the universe. He has a location, according to the Bible, there is a place where he sits on a throne with creatures around him in his presence. His Holy Spirit, the spirit of Jehovah the father and Jesus the son is multi-present throughout the universe wherever he is sent by Jehovah God or his son Jesus.

God is omnipotent / the universe by definition contains all the power and is therefore omnipotent...
Again false, at least so far as creationists believe. The universe cannot think, make decisions, create or act outside of the control of God.
quote:
God is omnicogniscient / the universe gives us the answers if we ask the right questions (Data from experiments) therefore since all knowledge is derived from the universe it is omnicogniscient...
Nay again.
To be cogniscient, is to be intelligent and able to think and do. The universe perse cannot think. Only certain beings in the universe can do this.
quote:
God is omnibenevolent the universe containing all the good things is omnibenevolent...
Nonee! Only animate beings within the universe are benevolent. By definition, the whole universe/everything existing is not benevolent, and that includes all space.
