He would first create the unliftable rock and then be able to lift it because he is not limited by logic.

If God can't answer this simple question like where did he came from then how do you suppose a God can create a rock that he cannot lift?

OF COURSE HE CAN!!! Think about it:
If God creates a rock that he can't lift, this means that He is so powerful, that He has the ability to create something that exceeds HIS OWN limitations. And of course, if the rock is too heavy, He could always make it smaller!!!

That would be impossible because it is omnipotent. However because god is also all knowing it would have realised that it would be able to create a rock that it could not lift. When this truth of failibility is discovered by God, it disappears in a puff of logic because it then understand it do not understand everything and thereby does not exsist.
I'll take my bow now.

If man is created in the image of God, then by looking in the mirror, we can infer that God would create the rock he cannot lift, then create a pulley system to lift it. Then get tired of pulling on ropes and make a forklift.

No, He wouldn't be able to create a rock He couldn't lift because He can do anything, which is to create an unliftable rock and lift it anyway.

I have a nice answer to this. If God is the worldly energy that unites the world and drives life, which hopefully you believe, he could. All the energy in the world would be in the rock and there would be no energy left to lift it.

No! God could not create a rock because there is no God!!!

I believe that this is a really stupid question, why would God(if there is one) want to lift rocks? Last time I heard God was't registered for the world's strongest man competition.

If God is an omnipotent being, God has the power to choose.
Since God has unlimited power, yet chooses not to be self negating, the choice is made to NOT create a paradoxical self negation, even though the unlimited potential/power does exist.
