No, because it would be demonstrating an inability to create, or an inability to counteract gravity...
This is an age old question dating back to the Holy Roman Empire that evidences our misunderstanding of the nature of an Omnipotent Deity
"Strength" is basically a human limitation based on the law of gravity, something that a God would not have to abide by.

There are things God cannot do. Does this supprise you? God can not lie.
God cannot let sin go unpunished.
God cannot look upon sin.
God cannot let you go to heaven unless you repent and believe the gospel.
Are you Innocent or Guilty?
During a trial, the burden of proof always lies with the prosecution. That's because a person in the U.S. is innocent until proven guilty. Let's see if you will be guilty when you face the Judge of the Universe. Have you ever lied? Have you ever stolen anything? Have you ever looked with lust? Jesus said "You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart!" (Matthew 5:27-28) If you admitted to being guilty of these charges, what you need to realize is that God sees you as a liar, a thief, and an adulterer-at-heart. Do you see the predicament you're in? You know the Day of Judgment is coming, and your conscience agrees that you are guilty. What will you say on that Day? Would you have any words of defense? No amount of good works will help you on that day. That's like trying to bribe a good judge by slipping him a five dollar bill. The judge of the universe will not be bribed. The good news is that God has provided a way for your fine to be paid, and that is through Jesus Christ. The Bible expresses it like this: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) You broke God's Law... and Jesus paid your fine! The Bible commands you to Repent (that is to turn from your sins) and place your faith in Jesus alone to save you. Confess and forsake your sins once and for all. Do it today - you may not have tomorrow! Then read your Bible daily and obey what you read. If you refuse to do this God cannot over look your sin and you will go to hell.

Maybe that's why god doesn't fix anything or talk any more like in the old days. Some philosopher posed the quest, God created an object even he could not lift, tried to lift it, and got pinned.

There is a common misconception that this is a paradox. In fact, God could create a rock too large for him to lift by tweaking the force of gravity. But if he wanted to he could change the force of gravity back to make it possible to lift the given rock.

if in the future, someone came up with a more lame and tired example of hackneyed circular reasoning, would they be smarter than the average atheist word-game player?

God is the greatest.
Only the one in your heart. He gave us free will and He will not force His love on us.

I can make something so big I can't lift it with enough raw materials!
Hooray! I'm better than God!

No, it would have to evolve and that would take billions and billions and billions of years to occur!
