ooh, a fun one!
I would have to say no. God it too perfect to even attempt such an irrational act of pointlessness. Because he is God, he only does things that are for his will. Lifting heavy things is not for a glorious king to be doing, as it is an imperfect act of pride.
There are some things that simply don't work with God and this is one of them. Another one thing that can't happen is for sin to be in his presence. This explains why all of mankind must repent their sins before they can go to heaven. It's not that God CAN'T do it, it's just that is doesn't happen. Think of it as a math question. 2+2=5 just doesn't happen. That's how it is, end of story.
Now if It could happen, that question would be unanswerable, duh. No wonder why so many athiests use it. Still, according to the bible, there are defences against such foolish talk, and I have just mentioned one of em. Praise God for thinking ahead when he wrote that glorious book!

First, God existed before and created all that you can observed. Your question requires Aristotelian two value logic which is a part of what we can observe. The term "heavy" and "lift" are measures we observed. God is not what we can observed; there are no facts about God. [A fact is an observation by men (note plural) independent of location]. Why? We get from revelation that God existed before and created the heavens and the earth--God is outside of all matter and energy.
Now to your question: Can God create a stone so heavy that he himself can not lift. He may or he may not, but this information is not in reveal knowledge (the [Christian] bible.) And it is definitely not solvable by the scientific method.
Since the question can not be resolved by the scientific method nor by revelation, the question is meaningless.

Oo. I love the classics. Yes God could create such a stone, but once God had created the stone, God would instantly be able to also lift it, because God can do anything.

What a strange question. God created all of the matter in the universe and He can lift that. Is there a stone bigger than all of the matter in the universe? I think we would have felt it's gravity by now. This question is pure nonsence.

Yes because God can do anything he wants, he could create a stone that weighed 10 ounces or 10 billion tons and either one he could CHOOSE not being able to lift, since God is capable of anything then yes.

God will create stones that is heavy in our physical human eyes, but in His eyes nothing is impossible. Hope that you can start see in God's point of view. Remember God is bigger than your problems.

We've done this one already... God is a just mythical character created by the mind of man and therefore "He" can't create anything.
If you're talking about a "cartoon character God," then sure enough... that would be a funny little bit.

Anything God can create, God can lift.

No God feels no urgency in proving himself by performing parlour room stunts. Try David Copperfield I think he was into tricks.
