Can God make a rock that's so big that he can't move it? ๐
The post that was quoted here has been removedI take Rand's statement to mean that contradictions don't manifest in reality. That is, it is never the case in any actual universe that both A and Not-A are true, where A is any claim about the way the universe is.
Originally posted by wittywonkaThe problem here is not in the limits to Gods abilities but in the limit of the language being used. If there exists an entity called God which made the universe then it is possible that he is capable of moving a rock of any size within the universe. However it is theoretically possible for God to make a rock that fills the entire universe and thus cannot be moved as moving would loose its meaning in that case. But loss of meaning is not the same thing as failure to do.

What is your take on this from two areas? First the whole contradiction discussion as this seems to be a contradiction. Secondly, I have heard nothing but silence from the religious world about this phenomenon. Could they feel threatened by this as it may suggest that Jesus is returning as 5 Komodo Dragons?
