This just goes to the point of God being unknowable thusly removed from the universe is unknowable withing the constains of this universe. the revelations presented by God then allow us to understand and define a concept of God without entirely knowing all of his attributes.

How is defining something and then aplying it to reality illogical? I have defined what is universally known as the color blue and call the chair I'm sitting on fits in that parameter. Of course none of us know that "blue" is "blue" because it's intangible, unobservable, a construct of human intuition and reasoning. However we assign it a universal definition and say this thing is "blue". A concept of God and God are 2 differnt things. I don't claim to know anything about God, however because of intuition, logic, reason and personal perspective I have a general concept of God that includes omnipotent and omniscient (purely from point-of-view and not belying consciousness). I think omnipresence is a derived attribute, persoanally.
