Can God create a rock he cannot lift?

The question in and of itself is a logical fallacy.

The question is akin to asking God to destroy himself to prove he is God.
The question is idiotic by people who's best evidence against God is to bring up Santa Clause, the easter bunny, flying spaghetti monsters or whatever dawkins can dream up.This question is often used against the existence of God.If God cannot lift a rock too heavy to lift, then he is not omnipotent.Nothing is beyong God's power, nothing but the logically impossible.The question is asking whether or not God can do the logically impossible, which is a meaningless question.

• Can God make a vhiacle that moves so fast he cannot catch it?
• Can God bake a cake so big he cannot eat it?
• Can God create a being equal to itself?

These questions amount to whether or not God can do something that God cannot do.  Or can God find the limits of his limitless abilities?

This is called a fallacy of contradictory premises.Can God do the possible?  Of course.

Can God do the logically impossible?  No.  Circular triangles FTW.

The heavy rock question is interesting to theists, since it makes them aware that people can think up bullcrap questions if they sit in a room for weeks at a time.This rock argument is hilarious at best.  Crappy atheistic arguments FTW.

haha fine.  Go about thinking there is no moral accountability and that human life isn't any more valuable than life of any other species.

I'd give you videos debunking evolution, but you wouldn't really care.

Evolution has been proven. I find it funny how people who like to stay ignorant of certain facts like to site pages that supposidly disprove evolution, but don't relize that unless a hypothesis or experiment is not peer revied it's basically worthless, which is true in EVERY one of these cases, becouse if these ever were peer reviewed they would be torn apart by basic biological reasoning.

If emptiness was around for so many years, it only makes sense that eventually someything will happen, like if you have a 500 000 sided dice, if you kept on rolling it for a billion years eventually you would land on the number you want

Watch all 4 of those "why a Christian God?" videos.  Religion is man-made, yes.  God despises religion because it's man's way to get to God.  In reality, God came down to man in the form of Jesus Christ.  Honestly, use your common sense.

If god does not exist then neither does mankind.  Man is the opposite of God and is defined by his relation to God.  Just as with out night there is no day.  With out male there is no female.  Without bad there is no good.  Without fools there are no wise.
The problem with humanity claiming to know everything is that the very act is a statement to the universe that mankind is God, yet the universe does not revolve around humans.  Human beings are just windows that God looks at the world through.  Physical reality is just a dream that never was.  Nothing truly matters. (Matter does not exist)

Are you high?

Please we beg of you, if you have reliable, factual, tangible evidence of a supreme being we would LOVE to hear it. And God enjoys death and suffering, becuase if he wanted religious battles to stop, he would simply come down for one second and show everyone that he is the only one god, and noone would have reason to fight.-Predak-

Got a ton, you just wouldn't accept it based upon your intelect.

And God already came down as Jesus Christ.  Those who don't follow him and repent will be punished for eternity.  I think God has this entire circumstance under control.

And these religious wars just use God as a justification for their actions.  Can't blame them, can you? ;)

Physical evolution is studied by primitive beings.

Spiritual evolution is studied by advanced beings.

The Christian god is all knowing and able to do anything - correct?

If god knows everything, then he knows everthing that he would do at any given time

meaning that he would not be capable of doing anything at any given time.
