God can't change the fact that one creature, me, thought that 1+1 = 2. I am certain I exist, and therefore all my current thoughts cannot be changed. God may alter them right now, but he can not change the fact that I once thought them. Right?

He allowed you to think what you think, so why would you think He would want to change it?

It's funny that we think that we are the authors of our own thoughts though we lack the ability to predict what our next thought is even going to be.
Thoughts occur spontaneously of their own.
It's only after the fact that we can claim authorship of them...once they have already happened. We do not have a mechanism for making something (thoughts) out of nothing.
Soooo, there in fact is no 'fact' that you thought anything...only that you perceived some thoughts.

He gave you the ability to know 1+1=2.
He stands by any truth.

God cannot defeat people with iron chariots, for some reason:
"And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron."
--Judges 1:19

what you wrote down is symbol and in Roman I + I = II not 2! So symbol can be changed. Symbol's meaning can also be changed : 0.99 + 0.98 = 1.97 = 2 so when we round it up 1 + 1 = 2 but 2 is not 1.97 , we just assume that 1.97 = 2

Christian argument- God permits free will, so you're free to believe and think whatever you want, be it true or false.
Better question: Can God make an equation so difficult & complex that even he can't solve it?

If the universe suffered total existence failure (yes, that's a real possibility, you can thank quantum physics), then you would not exist because the very timeline would cease to exist.

It's not true that He can't do that.
He can. But, why would He want to?
It's not that He can't do it. It's just that He has no reason to. He knows that it would only make us horribly confused -- and He loves us too much to do that to us.

Why would God want to change what you thought? As free moral agents, we are permitted to think or do what we want. The Bible is a guide to help us along these lines. At Phil. 4:8, it says: "Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are of serious concern, whatever things are righteous, whatever things are chaste, whatever things are lovable, whatever things are well spoken of, whatever virtue there is and whatever praiseworthy thing there is, continue considering these things."
