The object of investigation - the problem of omnipresence of God. The subjectmatter of investigation is a formal-axiological aspect of the problem. The aim of investigation - a proof of formal-axiological law of omnipresence of God in two-valued algebra of metaphysics as formal axiology. The method of investigation is mathematical modeling the subject-matter of investigation. The scientific novelty of results: the paper submits a hitherto never considered discrete mathematical model of the philosophical-theology problem of omnipresence of God. At the level of artificial language of two-valued algebra of formal axiology a substantially novel option of effective solving the problem is suggested and elaborated. Thus, a significantly new method of analytical theology, namely, intentional constructing and systematical investigating discrete mathematical models of divine attributes, is applied for illuminating complicated aspects of philosophical theology. In this paper the fruitfulness (heuristic and pedagogic value) of using the mathematical-theology method is exemplified by applying it for clarifying and eliminating the empirical objections against omnipresence-of-God which objections have been invented by the atheismor-skepticism-minded philosophers since ancient times to nowadays. For the first time in the literature devoted to philosophical theology God's omnipresence is demonstrated as a formal-axiological-law by accurate computing relevant evaluation-tables in two-valued algebra of formal-axiology. In relation to the purely technical aspect of mathematics proper the submitted demonstration of the formal-axiological-law under consideration is very simple but from the content viewpoint of philosophical theology, proving God's-omnipresenceas-a-formal-axiological-law by computing relevant compositions of evaluation-functions in algebra under consideration is psychologically surprising and theoretically nontrivial.
