Right. But the answer to the question is based on the axioms of the person answering. A person who believes in the rules of logic will say that it applies to everything, including God. A person who does not believe in the rules of logic will say that it does not apply to anything.
There is no “reason” beyond that.
Persumably one can get some knowledge from observing the world/universe.
It’s not that I don’t believe in the rules of logic, logic works for us brilliantly.
But i believe,as philosophers, especially skeptics, we have the right to question everything, including the rules of logic.
What can studying the world/universe tell us about God?
If you ignore the part that logically the universe ought not to exist. 
Sure, question whatever you want.
I pointed out that a person who thinks that God can defy logic is also not bound by logic when talking about God. So that has to be considered when evaluating the answers.
And fundamentally the question is really about the meaning of the word “omnipotence”. We don’t know what kind of “potence” God has and we have no way of finding out. So the discussion is about a word.
If you say think that God is necessary to explain the existance of the universe, then God is powerful enough to create the universe.
There is a lot of life around us, so presumably God wanted to create life.
Humans have big brains and the ability to reason, so presumably God wants us to take advantage of that ability.
Etc.
That kind of stuff. 
“Words have no meaning beyond that which we put into them”'- Ayer.
“Words are our slaves, not our masters”- Dawkins.
The word “omnipotent” is defined as “all powerful”, which means having the power to do ANYTHING.
If a being can do ANYTHING, then it could defy the rules of logic.
I’m not arguing that God is omnipotent, nor even that there is (or isn’t) a God.
The point is that we don’t know what we are talking about when we say that God is omnipotent, omniscient, etc.
Having the power to create the universe is not necessarily the same as being ALL-POWERFUL, having ALL power, the power to do ANYTHING.
Also I don’t think studying the universe can tell us much (if anything) about God.
And just because life exists doesn’t necessarily mean “God wanted to create life”.
That’s your interpretation of what “omnipotent” means. That’s your interpretation of what “all” and "powerful’ mean when placed together to form a phrase.
Somebody else will have a slightly different (very different?) interpretation.
By all means, have a discussion about it.
Somebody said that God is “omniwhatever”. He/she had something in mind but it may not have been what you have in mind now. He/she could not possibly know that God is “omniwhatever”.
Whatever.
Who said that it is???
IOW, you’re saying that we can’t know much (if anything) about God.
Okay.
If there possibly could be Something which acted as the catalyst to bring Everything into existence, is it not possible that at the very least studying the Universe could point to This as being Pure Energy?
My intuition tells me that if there is anything which can express the reality of this concept called God, it would be science - certainly not religion. People look for facts in the legal system, not hearsay and belief.
Yes that’s exactly what I’m saying.
Science, as it exists right now, can’t tell us anything about God…
Perhaps the science of the future might shed light on questions pertaining to God (though I doubt it), but certainly not the science of today.
If God is all powerful and unknowable by mere mortals, how can human beings know anything about God?
Can God really be “all powerful”, thpugh; is it possible?
You’ll notice that is why I said if.
Why are you talking about God if you can’t know anything about God?
Probably because others are claiming that they can indeed know things.
Maybe they do know. Since he cannot know about God, then he is in no position to contradict their statements about God.
The only things which can reasonable argued about, are things which are knowable.
Has he established the limits of human knowledge with respect to God? No
What can be known about God and how is it known? Start there.
It could be that he is saying since I cannot know anything about God then nobody else can either.
You’re saying they could possibly know but that would require evidence not faith to prove so.
A very broad statement which would need to be justified.
I’m saying that evidence exists and it’s observable in the world/universe. If it’s not observable, then there is no reason to believe that God exists.
“Faith” is bullshit.
