Ouch, nice!
Yes, this comes back to God being governed by logic, and I forgot about the incompleteness theorems. Good point. You'd have to literally say God isn't subject to mathematics or logic for him to be able to prove everything. This brings up the further problems of how exactly do you know this, other than you need it to be true to carry on your other ridiculous claim; and how can we ever investigate or know anything about a being that isn't subject to logic? Being supernatural is barrier enough.
If you used any sort of logic to come to the conclusion that God isn't governed by logic, then surely your argument is invalid?
