Is god so powerful can he create a stone so heavy he himself can't lift it?

[–] NotEasyBeingGreen@slrpnk.net -3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

One reply to this is that God can do anything possible.

Now, ideas about what is possible vary. For example Descartes could not conceive of a triangle where the angles did not add up to 180°. However, even in Descartes' time it was known that a triangle on a sphere will have angles that add up to more than 180° (you can make a triangle with 3 right angles on a globe and those angles add up to 270°).

So the idea might be refined to be more that nonsensical things remain nonsensical. As in, you can ask the question, "Can God change the color of a flower to Tuesday?" But even though it is perfectly correct English, it doesn't make sense, and your question is bogus, not God.

So basically what you're saying is god is not infinitely powerful. His powers must obey natural order.

He's basically just a human. Not god.
