One thing that strikes me as odd is this:

If god is omni-max, then why would any miracle be necessary?  Why would god ever use a miracle?  I think that this creates a catch 22 for theists.  Miracles are generally seen as evidence that god exists and meddles in the affairs of humans, but this is an implicit rejection of the idea of an omni-max god that is capable of getting it right the first time...unless the miracles were planned ahead of time so that god could cause some specific thing to happen, but then again, why couldn't god simply create a universe where the miracles were not necessary?
