VORTEX AIMing

[Qarel]

Well, agree on everything? But it is nice to agree on something!

BTW, making lists about what God cannot do is not very difficult. The question is whether this really challenges God's omnipotence. First of all (and last of all, because I am not going to discuss it here extensively) omnipotence is a very difficult word, as it is (supposed to be) an attribute of God, and all those words are very complicated indeed. There is widespread consensus that the fact that God cannot do logically impossible things hardly challenges his omnipotence. Another well-recognized problem lies in linguïstical absurdities like: "Can God make a stone he can't lift." Fun to construct, but not really saying a lot about a God. Of course God could make a stone as heavy as you like, but will always be able to lift it, so to speak. To count this against God's omnipotence, as is sometimes done, seems rather strange.
