The Biblical God is claimed to be almighty, of whom nothing is impossible. He is supposed to have created the vast, really, really, really vast universe after all, which in essence is an impossibility, in and of itself.
He also has the attribute of knowing everything.
The linear temporal dimension is laid out before him, i.e., the past, the present, the future.
The problem with this, is that these attributes contradict each other, thus a being with these attributes can not exist.
If he knows everything then God is incapable of learning, i.e., learning would be an impossibility, and if the case is that of the opposite, then he doesn't know everything thus not omniscient.
He is also bound to his own knowledge, which refutes his almighty power.
If he knows he will create the universe, then he is forced to create the universe, bound and tied to a foreseen future, he has no choice, there is nothing he can do to stop himself from doing so, he is powerless to do anything about it, thus negates his almighty attribute.
But if at some point before that, in all his almighty power he creates a choice and decides not to create the universe, then the supposed foreseen future is changed, different from what he has foreseen, in this case no universe exists, thus he doesn't know the future.
Either the universe exists, or it does not.
It can't be both.
It also, as a consequence, negates his free will.
Ergo, a being with such contradictory attributes can not exist.
Just like a married bachelor can not exist.
It is a self-refuting proposition.
