Can God create a stone so heavy He cannot lift? Can God do the logically impossible?
In this video, we are going to be discussing one of the most common arguments used by atheists against Christianity. This argument is strong at face value but is seriously weakened under critical examination.

Question, so I was discussing this with an atheist and they tried to use this as evidence proving God not exist. Was I correct in saying that’s absolutely false ? Also is there any philosophers who make the claim God does not exist and it can be proven for a fact ?

So, since the deity you speak of is bound by logic, then it is not really omnipotent. Also, miracles are by definition not logical, and thus the proposed deity also cannot perform those things either. What use is that deity if it basically doesn't do anything. I don't see how such an entity would be necessary or maximal great.

God will create a being stronger than Him but able to destroy it.

The paradox has caused you to redefine your definitions, isn't that the point of the paradox in the first place. The exact definition of the word omnipotent is all powerful/ability. Maybe not you, but many Christians have historically believed god is an omnipotent being as in being all powerful. It states in the Bible that nothing is impossible for god and that all things are possible with God. But it also states God cannot lie, which means god is not omnipotent because lying is logically possible, this counters your definition.
