I think the thing that we really need to remember in this equation of an omnipotent, omniscient Being, and it's ability to shape, create, sustain and control all things, is that we, as the creations have no real idea what it is like to be that "God" at all, and any attempts to try and understand it are absurd and result in petty religions.
This "God" has reasons for doing what it does that we could not possibly begin to imagine and all our greatest wisdom and accomplishments would seem as Foolishness to this "God" if it even noticed us at all. Whereas this God's reasonings and wisdom would no doubt be so foriegn to us that it would seem like foolishness to us.
Unless this "God" itself condescended to make contact with us, there would be no way we would ever be able to understand anything about it at all. And how whould It do that?
Flashes of thunder? Lightning? Burning Bushes> Booming Voices?
Would it select one of us and let us see it and give us a message to take back to the rest of humanity about what IT wanted us to know about IT?
How many times would IT put up with us ignoring IT's messengers until IT finally came down ITSELF as one of us?
Or just wiped us all out?
If it noticed us at all?
Why would it even bother with us?
I love the Hebrew Prophet Jeremiah's statement:
"What am I Lord that of all the heavens you would even consider me?"
What a great question.
