Can the omnipotent God create a stone which he(she?) him(her?)self Cannot carry?

(Note: blasphemy added by levik. Disregard if offensive)

This is a semantic argument. With a really simple solution:

In order to carry something you have to lift it. So for the purpose of this solution I will use the word lift in place of carry.

Now, in order to lift something you have to move it away from something else.

If he creates a stone so large that there is nothing larger then there is nothing to lift the stone off of.

So he's created a stone he can't lift. Rock A.

Now that he's satisfied that part of the paradox, we deal with the other. He creates an even larger rock, Rock B, and lifts Rock A off of Rock B.
