Maybe I wasn't clear but you've not answered my question.
Yeah but which one? Yahweh? Allah? Auðumbla? A god of your own devising? A number of gods fit your definition so it still isn't specific enough. If you're being deliberately general, use of the definite article ('the' god) is inappropriate as you don't define specifically which god you mean.
To the definition you've provided, omnipotence, omnipresence, & omniscience are internally contradictory propositions therefore any god claiming any of the 3 cannot exist.

The god I am referring to is the omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient creator of everything from universes to strings. The head god, god number one. Obviously, anything less is irrelevant.
