Does it answer the question?

Of course, this also assumes that God is omnipotent, which He is not. God can do all things, the difference, while subtle, is very important.

While I agree that there is a difference, I don't see how it applies to this question. Creating and lifting are both actions, after all.

Ah, but being able to 'do all things' means that one can do all things. Even if such things are paradoxical in nature.

Unfortunately- no. Due to the fact that the entire subject is speculation, it's impossible to bring up solid evidence. So until God decides to /to see if He can create a rock that he can't lift, and decides to let us all in on the results, we're stuck with - Does it sound like it makes sense? Or no.

Actually, you are wrong. This question is the same as saying, "Can God make a square triangle?" While it does sound like a contradiction, the answer is no. The reason is not that there is some necessary limitation on his power, it is that we define square and triangle as two different things.

The phrase "square triangle" is meaningless. There is no way to answer the question posed, because the question itself has no meaning.

I believe that this subject will never lead us to the answer that we are looking for, but we will learn something even greater: God is beyond our understanding, and we must accept it. We are thinking that someone can't be capable of lifting/ not lifting a rock at the same time. Sure, we can't. God can. Why? . . . Why not? We are merely human beings trying to classify God to the same limitations of his creation known to us. We don't understand him, but if we did, he really wouldn't be God, would he?
It's like trying to think of a color, a new color, one that is not a shade or mix of any known color. They certainly exist, and it's been scientifically proven. We, as humans, cannot see them while some other animals can. Nonetheless, it's beyond our comprehension but not our knowledge of its existence.

The answer to that qustion is-

1. "A very defenite maybe"
2. "Yes, very carefully"
3. "I can ask random questions too."

Le sigh, boredom.

Uh, no. Refer to my previous post for the correct answer.
