nope.
if God is everywhere there is no place where He is not present, and so, how can He be absent when evil is present? Now, if evil is simply the absence of God, then God is not all-present? What do you think?
​
I think the conclusion would be that God is NOT omnipresent.

Science fails to recognize the single most potent element of human existence.
Letting the reigns go to the unfolding is faith, faith, faith, faith.
Science has failed our world.
Science has failed our Mother Earth.

Re: what does OmniPresent mean
Omnipresent is one of the attributes of God aside from being "Omnipotent" and "Omniscient."
​
According to what religion?
​
Because we believe that God is the creator of everything He must have the attribute of always being there in all places at the same time.
​
That statement is false.
​
Why does he have to be there to create it? If he is omnipotent he could create it from anywhere, or nowhere, simultaneously, from the past...etc.
​
If he HAD to have that attribute to create everything, then he isn't omnipotent.
