3. Therefore, if God is omnipotent, God can create a rock so big he cannot move it.
Whereas the response of Kostya/Nano/myself is "There is no such thing as a rock so big God cannot move it." There is no possible rock that is so big God cannot move it. Why? Well, all possible rocks have a finite mass. And God can move anything with a finite mass. So there is no possible rock that God cannot move.
Or, to make it simpler, let me quote C. S. Lewis. "Nonsense does not become sense by putting 'God can' in front of it."

so your argument is that an all powerful omnipotent god cannot create a rock with finite mass that is too big for him to move. makes a lot of sense.
