if god is the most powerful entity in the whole entire existence of stuff, could he create (being the creator of all really big things, space being one of them) something so big and heavy that HE COULD NOT lift it?? seriously, nobody has been able to answer this, not even door to door bible bashin preacher types…
The question is logically inconsistent. If you were sincerely seeking for truth you would not ask a question previously posted more than once.
:rolleyes:
Besides being completely illogical, that’s one of the dumbest arguments against the existence of God. :wally
Tell you what, I’ll answer that if you answer me this: If you toss a coin X times, how many times will it come up heads, and why?
Yes HE could. And then HE could make HIMSELF lift it.
Oh, give the newbie a break. He may not have noticed the zombified burrito thread, and guests can’t search.
Actually, it looks like he was the one who brought it back from the dead…weird. 
Anyway, I find this a great example of a koan to help a Christian expand his or her ideas of what God is. My dad asked me the question when I was about 8. It took a few years to figure everthing I believed out, but I’m pretty sure the god/rock question catalyzed my athesim.
So your father is the reason you are going to hell? ;j
Doesn’t seem much different than fundamental Christian teachings. 
n times, where n is somewhere on a normal curve centered on X/2.
But only God knows for sure.
Look, we’re talking about a dude who can design a universe such that he, the Almighty, is obligated to sacrifice his only begotton son before allowing himself to forgive the species human, and he has to do it while actually being his own son, too, and after dying he does a postdeath encore and sits at his own right side. Given that, I wouldn’t count him out on the rock-lifting thingie, know what I mean?
Touché. But, as I expected, that’s only the answer to the first question. I also asked why. Do you know? 
Why would he do that?
I suppose He could always make a thing so heavy that it cannot be moved, period. And then he could move every particle in the universe except for the thing. Net effect: the thing has moved.
Well, if Mohammed doesn’t come to the mountain…
That is downright beautiful, Allan! Kudos!
