The way you've re-phrased it, it ceases to be the same question. The actual question is whether an omnipotent God create a universe in which life as we know it should not be able to survive, but exists anyway. A sterile universe is one without life in it. The proposed universe is one in which a natural explanation for life is impossible, but it exists anway.

Your 're-phrasing' is nonsensical, and the motive for making it so seems obvious. Of course an omnipotent God could sustain life in a universe hostile to its existence, it would be a trivial exercise to an omnipotent being, but by re-phrasing it as a contradiction you let God off the hook for our being in the only kind of universe you would expect to have life if there were no God.

Allow me to rephrase your question: Why should theists have to answer questions honestly?
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
