[b]So god cannot create something impossible.
He sure can create a rock that is imposssible for you to move.
That's one imposibilty for God then.
Nope, since by definition God can do all things, it means he can do all things, which is the same as saying that there is nothing which God cannot do, which is the same as saying God can do all things.[/b]
You keep creating new postulates as you go. Bla bla bla. You talk but there is no persuasiveness to it.
Keep talking your bla bla bla BS.
Originally posted by GinoJThe point that you continue to miss is that by definition he WILL only do what he can do, and that implies that he WILL not do what he cannot do, and since there is nothing that he cannot do, he WILL only do that which he can do.

So the postulation you have made is self-defeating.
Originally posted by dj2beckerA paradox is an apparently true statement or group of statements that leads to a contradiction or a situation which defies intuition. Typically, either the statements in question do not really imply the contradiction, the puzzling result is not really a contradiction, or the premises themselves are not all really true or cannot all be true together. The word paradox is often used interchangeably and wrongly with contradiction; but whereas a contradiction asserts its own opposite, many paradoxes do allow for resolution of some kind.

The recognition of ambiguities, equivocations, and unstated assumptions underlying known paradoxes has led to significant advances in science, philosophy and mathematics. But many paradoxes, such as Curry's paradox, do not yet have resolutions which are accepted by everybody.
Sometimes the term paradox is used for situations that are merely surprising. The birthday paradox, for instance, is unexpected but perfectly logical. This is also the usage in economics, where a paradox is a counterintuitive outcome of economic theory. In literature it can be any contradictory or obviously untrue statement, which resolves itself upon later inspection.
TURN OFF THE FOX NEWS AND READ!!

Nope , your context is completely wrong. The quote is in reference to faith and was referring to ordinary people and ordinary lives not some far fetched abstract philosophical concept about logic.

ALL I am saying is that if there's a possibility that God exists, there is exact same possiblity that He does not.
You cannot know or prove the existence of God. That is why God is God.
You must know everything there is to know then. Which means you are actually claiming to be God, since God alone is omniscient.

He told me that he was not omniscient. He told me that he did not know who his father was.
