  1. They're fine, so long as you either have some commitment to designing or each part can stand alone as an adventure.

     

    Half of an adventure which ends in a cliffhanger is no fun, especially when the second part may never be released.

  2. It would be simpler and more easily visualised for Him to just increase the size of the current universe and create a small pebble in it, so that He could move the previously-universe-sized rock in relation to the smaller pebble.

     

    However, that's not the point. I was just showing that God could create a rock so big that He could not move it (at least, immediately) without infringing on His omnipotence, using just a semantic argument.

     

    Point is, while it can be an amusing question, it's hardly a 'disproof of God', even without having to resort to "well, because!" arguments.

  3. Actually, Creator, He could. He could turn the entire universe into a rock.

     

    By so doing, He created a rock. And then He can't move it, because there's nothing else in creation for Him to move it in relation to.

     

    Anyway, it's already been discussed by a lot of prominent people - God can remain omnipotent and yet incapable of doing things that are logically impossible.

     

    For some things God cannot do, however. God cannot make 2 plus 2 equal 95 in our standard base-10 arithmetic system. God cannot sin. As explained in a much better thought-out paper than this statement, there are no limits to God's power, but God cannot do things that cannot be done with an application of power.

    Why are we having a theological discussion here?
