OK, think really, really hard now. If there was something greater than God, then God would not be God. God is "that of which nothing greater can be conceived". God is the Ultimate Reality. Nothing is greater or God would not be God. Get it?

Greater than Himself? Clearly you do not understand the nature of God!

Nothing is flawless,especially if it is a creation.There is always a flaw.God is non created by anyone or anything/Therefore,God is flawless.Even God created something,that thing can't be greater than him because its come from him and he will have the power to surpress it.
We are created by god,we try to be greater than him,but all in vain because we are not the creator of ourselves,god know our flaw because he is our creator.So,that why!

Why would God make someting greater than himself?
That'll be so stupid. I mean if God did then the thing thats greater than God will overule God.
And anyway, God is the Almighty. Nobody can beat God.

Because he can't de-throne himself. He is permanently God - he can't have something greater than Him. You cannot make something greater than infinite. Neither can you subtract from infinite - you'd still be infinite. For instance if you had infinity marbles, if someone gave you another marble you'd still have the same amount as before, and if someone took away one marble you'd still have the same as before. Thats why God's authority cannot be either reduced or increased - he is always infinite.

If someone can make something, it will always be a thing made by that person.
If I made a genetically altered being far superior to men of today while the being would be great, I would still be it's creator and would gain more status/greatness in the making of that being.
That my take on it anyway

There is nothing greater than Himself, nor could there ever be because He is the greatest possible!

Have you seen any product greater than its producer?
You argue that if God is omnipotent, He must be able to accomplish your challenge. If He cares about your challenge, then where is His omniscience? And for you, what is greater than omnipotence?

Parents hope and help their kids become greater. So if we're the children of some other parent, does this mean we'll become greater than God? Going by the Bible... let's hope we aren't so evil.
