Found a silly thing, fixed it. 
You could add an arrow off of “Then why is there Evil?” that points to a “There isn’t” box.
But there is evil.
“So?”
“So it is false that there isn’t evil.”
“No.”: line to “God is omnipotent” box.

If the atheologian insists on the understanding of “omnipotent” that God can effectuate logical contradictions, very well.
In that case, NOTHING FOLLOWS from anything the atheist puts forward.
“There is evil” doesn’t preclude “there is no evil.”

It’s not the only thing wrong with this flowchart, but ONE of the main things wrong with it is that, in order for the arrows to “Then God is not all powerful” to be justified, it has to be the case that “omnipotent” MEANS “can do anything, even logically contradictory things.”
Once the atheist concedes that God *can* do what is logically contradictory (by insisting that is what “all powerful” means), the theist can simply assert that God *has* prevented evil.
And since God is all powerful, the existence of evil so NOT PROOF of its NONEXISTENCE.
