This is not about physics. It is all about wordplay.

This is impossible because of the definitions of words such as: up, down, top, bottom. Change what these words mean, then sure god could do it. You could too.

For one side of the coin to be "up", the other side must be "down". Your question is similar to the erroneous riddle "What would happen if an irresistible force met an immovable object?" Well, if an irresistible force truly did exist, then by its own definition, an immovable object could not exist.

He could if He wanted to....simply by ordering how the coins fall.

But of all the things you could ask God for, why would this be on the top of your list?

I mean, don't you know someone who needs help?

God invented the all the laws of physics, so the answer is yes!

Yes, of course he could. God transcends the physical universe, and just because we can't fathom something doesn't mean it's not possible.

This is a really silly question. God can do more than you can even imagine.
