maybe my understanding of a logical phallacy is wrong, but doing something to a inherent quality to an object doesn't make it a phallacy. a rock has mass. how much? could be 1 gram, could be 1 kilogram, could be enough to be called a planet. making the mass infinite would mean taking it's mass and adding 1 enternally. why can't that be done? and we're not talking about a rock of infinite mass. we're talking about a rock that's just big/heavy enough that god can't lift it. like a body builder who can lift 300 lbs, but not 305 lbs. an all powerful creature can eitehr create it or he can't. if he can, but can't move it, then he's not all powerful. if he can't make it, he's not all powerful.
a square has 4 sides. a circle none. they are to distinctly different objects, with different qualities.
-to make a square circle would be to change those qualities so that it is neither a square nor a circle, which s why that would be a logical phallacy.
-a box with no volume would not be a box by the definintion of a box.
-i'm not understanding the point in space thing, how is that an example of anything?
-since -3 is an imaginary number, there can be no real square that yeilds it. you're trying to take apples and get a kumkwat (sp, i know, but i like the way it looks).
rocks have mass. to give a rock a mass of "x" amount is not a phallacy. whether or not "god" can do that, and then lift it, is not a phallacy as far as i can see. explain it to me. explain it to me as if you w explaining it to the dumbest person on the planet (i'd like to think i'm not, but who knows, i haven't met everyone). don't say, it's a phallacy, like these other examples where you then try to give properties of one object to a different one and still call it the first. explain exactly why it's a phallacy.
oh, and why can't god create a baby adult? that's what he did when he created adam, if you were to listen to the story. a baby is defined by its age, not by its size, and other than in legal terms, an adult is usaually a fully mature organism. why couldn't god create a fully mature adult?
