i think the answer is no, for him to create a stone that he cannot carry must mean the stone is above omnipotence, therfor, above his abilites, and since his abilties only extend to omnipotence and not over omnipotence, he cannot create something more powerful than himself. Also, consider this, since god created the universe(open to discusiion) than that means the universe isnt even as heavy or massive ebough compared to the stone we're talking about, so how can something be so massive that exists in the universe if it is bigger and heaveir and more massive that the universe? meaning, this stone is going to be a black hole the size of at least this universe, so how can god lift nothing? exactly, so he technically cant lift it since there is nothing to lift meaning the asnwer is once again no, ok this is my 3rd time editing this answer, i would like to say there is no correct answe cause this is a paradox, and for all the people that want to critize me, i beleive in god and i talk to him on a daily basis, guess wat, im chinese, none of u can beat that(this doesnt mean i am of any faith) i just beleive in god.
