Can the omnipotent God create a stone which he(she?) him(her?)self Cannot carry?
(Note: blasphemy added by levik. Disregard if offensive)
I am not a religious person, but I do not rule out the existance of an omnipotent god (which this question rules out by the way). But here is what I think.
At first sight this looks like a yes or no question, but we all know by now it isn't. Its a paradox as has been explained by previous comments. To say yes or no to this question will not work.
If I was omnipotent, I would create such a stone, and probably lift it also :-) Don't ask me how, I am not omnipotent. So I will answer this question with another question:
Can an omnipotent god answer this question correctly? Of course he/she can! Thus making the answer to the first question "yes". He/she can create such a stone. And "no". He/she can lift anything. As for making sense of this? Ask the One making the stone and lifting it...
If it was me...
