Nano, I think you're begging the question.

Where did logic come from? Did God create logic? Was it always there? Is it fundamental to the structure of the universe? Didn't God create the universe? Is logic prior to God, does it have power over GOD's will? Why? You can't just assume that!

How can something like logic have power over GOD? And how would you prove that logic is prior to God without using logic (you couldn't use logic to prove the primacy of logic!). That's probably a greater paradox. You just can't answer the original question - that's the point. That's why the paradox has such power - as much power as, say, "If a tree fell in the woods and there was nobody around . . . ". It makes you see the limits of our understanding/our implicit assumptions.

But, back to the question: Can't God's WILL overcome logic? If HE is omnipotent, why shouldn't that be the case?

Why give something as mundane as logic power over GOD's WILL? Can you just assume such a thing?

I think that's the real question being asked in the original thread:

Is GOD a slave to logic?

I'm no expert on Theology, but I think Logic has traditionally been taken to be God's mind, or God's reason. So, can God's will supercede HIS reason/mind? The question of logical phallasy only comes (HA - phallus comes!) up if you assume that God's will is subject to the rules of logic - a GIGANTIC assumption.
