I think you misunderstand what omnipotence really is.

How about this, god can make a rock of infinite mass and weight. God can still left this rock. Because god is omnipotent. Omnipotence doesn't mean that god can create something that is by definition a logical phallacy. God couldn't create a baby adult either.
Let's list some other things that god can't do:
Make a square circle.
Make a box so small that it has no volume.
Ever get to a point in space despite the fact that god may be moving half the distance closer to said point every second.
Find a real number that, when squared, is equal to negative three.

I really don't think any of these facts negate a god's omnipotence.
