No, these are the premeses set forth by ATHEISTS to prove that God doesn't exist, and it has ben rebuffed for HUNDREDS of years. This is one of the first arguements that comes up on first year philosophy courses to show a flawed arguement.

The concept of an Omnimax God that wants to do away with all evil has never been proposed by the Christain faith (or any others that I know of), that is the whole point of free will, which is a cornerstone of the Christian Faith.
