RE: God can make infinitely more special/valuable things than this universe

1. I don't think I'm special, but let's go with that for this point.God could create infinitely "better" or "worse" universes with infinitely better or worse inhabitants. I know he things we're better than 2 sparrows, but sure let's say we're created in His image so that makes us special
2. Well, he could have done all of 1, but still made us, so 2 is proven by 1.
You lost me on 3 and 4. Simple, I like simple
By your definition of omnipotence, this would indicate that this universe's creation is not the end of God's supposedly unending power. Sure, maybe there's a universe with a God hotline phone on every planet and different species on every planet.
The problem is the universe is the sum of everything we mere mortals know. I don't know if there is a better universe than this, but there could be. What would still make us special is that we re created in His image and believers particularly were given the Holy Spirit
Does that answer your question. I have a question though... who comes to an atheist forum looking for Christians to argue with? Welcome though. I hope I fell into your steel logic trap as you wanted.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
