Also it assumes that omnipresence is proven fact from the bible. I'll set the argument based on bible scripture; something like i can not escape you from the highest points of heaven or lowest depths of earth. I argue that he does not mention the area or dimension God is in before he creates the heavens and the earth.
God's reaction tho Job basically answers this anyways, that's what that whole book was about.
He's God, what do you think he does up there...

Well that begs the question don't you think? If heaven can be sustained as a "purely good" environment in which human souls exist eternally why couldn't the earth have just been the same way? If the earth could be corrupted with sin why couldn't heaven? Why couldn't god have just created heaven and skipped the whole earth nonesense? Special pleading for earth if we say earth can be corrupted and heaven cannot. If god was unable to create an "uncorruptable" environment it just goes to show the limitations of god's powers.
