HAZEL: "God is way beyond logic."

Yes, by using Her omnipotence to redefine "5" or "3" as "4." The real question is can God make 2+2=5 AND 2+2=3 simultaneously.

I can make 2 plus 2 equal 5, and 2 plus 2 equal 3... it's easy. Let's say you're doing a inequitable fruit census, as a really bad example, and in this inequitable fruit census, a banana is valued as a citizen, but a strawberry has fewer rights and is consider half a citizen. A Grapefruit, the noblest of fruits, is counts as 2, because he deserves the 2 votes in our fruitocracy. Now, if I have a road with 2 houses, one house has 2 bananas living together, and the other one has a banana living with a Grapefruit, in our road census, 2+2=5. On the other hand, on the next road I go to, the first house has 2 bananas, and the other has two strawberries. 2+2=3.

Yes- actually numbers are assigned by man to count for things. Those rules were made up along the way. If someone had started out with 2 actually being a number for some other amount, then 2 would not = 2 now would it. It is all relative to the definitions that have been placed on things. You have to think past the man made rules that are placed on all things. If an orange had been called a coconut from the beginning then we would now it as a coconut wouldn't we.
Remember to think outside the box.

Seems that God can't break the rules of Mathematics, physics, chemistry or biology. That's not much a God!
I'd have thought God would have just clicked his fingers and everyone would suddenly see that 2+2=3!!!!

In my family the math worked like this 1+1= 5
I think that makes me a life creating goddess

I could make 2+2=5. I just have to convince the rest of the world to believe me. That's the hard part.

Your question is illogical.
God is not going to change the rules of what He created.
This is like that same old "rock" question that some people use to try to support their argument.
God cannot do something that violates His own nature.
You are asking that God become self-contradictory.
You want to use illogic to prove that God doesn't exist.
It doesn't work that way. Your paradox is self-refuting and invalid.

Not even God (who doesn't exist anyway) can deny the truth contained in the Peano axioms.
On an interesting side note, Peano taught at the University of Turin. I wonder if he ever wore a shroud.

There is nothing impossible for God, including mathematical rules.
And even if you do or do not believe in God, it is respectful to others who do believe to type God with a capital letter.

There are some philosophers who believe he could, but our minds just cannot grasp the concept.
Others believe God can do all things logically possible, but I think their belief that a staff could turn into a serpent perverts the term "logically possible."
