Not at all. Because it's an argument from ignorance, it does not work as a defeater. God is omnipotent in the sense that He is able to do anything that it possible to do. In order the problem of evil to work as a defeater, it must also show that a better world is possible. Since it does not, the force of the argument is not logical; but rather, emotional.
Fixed that for you...
Ah, so you are sawing off omnibenevolence after all, since an omnibenevolent God would not make any world at all if it couldn't make a world without evil.
I presume you don't believe in Satan and demons that tempt humans...I doubt you would claim it's not logically possible for God to make a world where they're not represented.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
