Actually I think "There are three 'tü's in the english language." would fit quite nicely.

Omnipotence could be defined as "power without limit", which would suggest that any rock that can be made, can be moved by the omnipotent.

More importantly, what does Blue taste like?
yes, but can god make a wall so tall that even he cannot jump over it?

No, probably not since your eyes always have to adjust to light inable to see.

If 7-11 is open 24-hours a day, 365 days a year, why are there locks on the doors?

Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?

They always say its in the last place you look? and if so why didnt you look there first?, and of course it is in the last place because once you find what you are looking dont you stop looking.

They say no two snow flakes are the same , how do they know is someone out there checking each one.

If God could do anything, could he make a rock so heavy even he could not lift it?
and variations such as crackprogram's wall dilemma.

Short answer: No.

Long answer: No and here's why.

1. It's impossible.

When people talk about God's omnipotence, it is generally agreed that God is still limited to the laws of logic. That is to say, God cannot create a square circle, since such a thing is logically impossible, a square by it's very nature cannot be circle and vice versa.

If God is omnipotent, then there is nothing to heavy for him.her to lift.

Thus, your question when formulated as such reveals a logical contradiction: 'Could a being for which nothing can be too heavy create an object too heavy for it to lift?' Of course, this means that the creation of such an object would require God to negate his/her essential nature.

Such a statement is not logically meaningful, and thus, has as much meaning as 'Zama dama ding ding dong', or' Give peace a chance' as Homer Simpson would say.

2. Even if it were possible, No.

If one were to ignore this fact and assume that it was a logically meaningful statement, the answer is still no.

If you say no, this seems to suggest that god is no longer omnipotent. however, once you look into this, it is clear that in fact yeilding to this suggestion does not have any effect upon God's power. Saying that God cannot do this simply means that God cannot exceed his ability to lift rocks when he creates them. god's ability to lift rocks remains infinite, and as a corrolary, so does his ability to make them heavier and heavier, so long as he can lift them. Thus, God's omnipotence remains untouched by such an admission.

So in conclusion: No.

Also, you may wish to remove that from your signature now since there is in fact an answer.

For the record, I am not a theist, I just read Mavrodes.

Maybe, but since nothing is absolute, who is to say?

I personally believe in objective reality, and absolute truth.

I believe that there is absolutey truth, but it may not be discernible.
