Here is the answer to "Can God create a rock he cannot move?" once and for all. What do you think?

Question

Replace God with Allah, Jahova, Yahweh, Vishnu, Buddha as appropriate:

Muslims: Yes
Christians: No
Jews: He can but once created, he can move it.
Hinduist: Vishnu is the rock.
Buddhist: He is sitting on it.

Mormons: Yes but he'll have Mormons move it for him. (didn't want to leave them out :))

Athiests: The rock doesn't exist.
Agnostics: Maybe he can but I doubt it.

(should leave them out either.)

Some of your guys don't get it... both thiests and atheists. Think about it little more on the answers.

BTW... and some really needs to work on their sense of humor too.

Here is a thought. If God created a rock he cannot move, the rock would be God.

I know the question is a nonsense. That's one of the point I'm trying to make.

Answer 1

Nice to see you have done your research. Bravo!!!!

Answer 2

Inability to do something logically impossible is not an inability.

I'll give you an example: if we give someone 3 numbers: 1,2,3
and asked him to arrange them in all possible arrangements.
Even if Albert Einstein himself was asked this question, he will come up with only 6 different arrangements: 1 ، 2 ، 3 & 1 ، 3 ، 2 & 2 ، 1 ، 3 & 2 ، 3 ، 1 & 3 ، 2 ، 1 & 3 ، 1 ، 2 .
Now what if you asked him of a seventh one? he will surely call you an idiot .. and his failure to produce a seventh arrangement doesn't mean at all he is unable or deficient .. but it means the question is ridiculous and illogical.

Answer 3

God already has. He created the Earth. The Earth won't have the capacity to be lifted through fact it rests upon no longer something. additionally, assuming the "rock” is resting on something, to declare it extremely is a decrease of skill to create something that isn't have the capacity to be lifted skill that if the writer had greater skill then it must be achieved. This activity won't have the capacity to be achieved no remember what the point of skill, hence, it does not show a loss of skill for it to stay undone. If it extremely is achieved, please outline the point of skill required for this accomplishment. an limitless volume of skill, or little or no skill in any respect, does not impression the prospect or results of this theoretical activity. you have posed no question that could show, or decrease, God’s skill. you have purely examined your person loss of logical reasoning. there's a logical flaw in the question. this question assumes that if God is all-powerful in one element, then he must be weaker in the different. In different words, God won't have the capacity to be all-powerful if he's all-powerful. (It’s like announcing the sky won't have the capacity to be blue through fact it’s blue.) Or it extremely is like announcing, "God is greater suitable than God!" Even the finest minds can see the flaw in this line of reasoning. It compares something, to no longer a longtime unit of diploma, yet to itself. God can do something which could be achieved with any point of skill. The flaw that's no longer in God’s skill, yet interior the best judgment of the question and the inability of logical analysis by employing the people who requested it. Neither greater, nor much less skill could result the top results of this, hence, it extremely is not a real diploma of skill.

Answer 4

If god want to create a rock, things should be created before the creation of the rock by the God. Because the total energy is constant. God can't create the rock from nothing.
so rock takes the energy from universal. All are there. Never new things to be added to universal. Never any thing be removed also. so, God can't create a rock.Only he can change the energy as rock.

Answer 5

Enjoyed the contemplations. Here's one-G#d dosn't even move pebbles here on Earth; a spiritual Being dosn't manuver anything physical. If he created man in His image, to do his bidding on a physically mortal existance; and we are now able to deface mountains in the image of our presidents, drill through whole mountains for trains, or simply remove them to create highways, I think that God has through us moved the unmoveable pebble.

Answer 6

God can do anything that is logically possible. Just as it is impossible to make a one sided triangle, so it is impossible to make a rock too heavy to be moved. Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes.

Answer 7

Esotericist:

even should "god" create such a rock..........well, accept or not:

IT (god) created such a rock once...did god move it? Or, did god simply "disperse" it

I know the answer

Answer 8

No, but man can create a god and apply such a question then sit around later feeling all clever about it.

Answer 9

God of the Christians can create a rock that he cannot lift but he also can ask Jesus to help him lift it up. One God might not be able to lift up a rock he cannot lift but you never said he can't use his son to help him lift that rock he can't lift.

So, answer is YES.

Answer 10

He he. I was about ready to pull out some common 'truth seeking' 101 tactics, until I realized that all your answers are generally... true.

Answer 11

Here is the challenge: Bring on all your dead different religions and gods, and I will bring the One who is alive and all Powerful.
Let's see which one listens and answers, and the one that does, let Him be God....fair?

OK I see what you were leading to, but please next time be honest :-)
