Paradox- Zhi Xiang Mao Dun(courtesy of Wern Xin :P)

Try answering these questions :P

Can God create a stone so heavy that, He Himself cannot lift it?

What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?

:- Apparently an immovable object would have to have infinite mass which cannot exist because of a finite universe, the same for an unstoppable force to exist would be impossible in a finite universe because it would have to have infinite energy. According to some physics article I read, an immovable object would have to be in an infinite universe with its infinite mass, and the unstoppable force in another universe. As universes are theorized to be connected through worm holes but then how would worm holes exist in an infinite universe with an infinite mass? However if the 2 things did collide either its THE END. OR the unstoppable force GOES THROUGH the immovable object?

Don't get offended Christians : "Can God sin? If God cannot sin, is He truly omnipotent?"

Yeah crack your heads over these question, and try answering them as comments or on the cbox :P

Heres a chinese story I read which invented the word paradox in chinese to get the idiom zhi xiang mao dun. "There was once a weapons dealer was selling a spear and a shield. He said his spear could pierce any shield, and he also said his shield could block any spear. So they asked him, what happens if your spear pierces your shield?"
Thus self-contradictory.

TO read and not to be offended just to get confused:P :- Can God create a rock He cannot lift? Since an all-powerful being will always be able to accomplish whatever He sets out to do, it is impossible for an all-powerful being to fail. The above atheistic argument is arguing that since God is all-powerful He can do anything - even fail. This is like saying that since God is all-powerful He can be not all-powerful. Obviously, this is absurd. An all-powerful being cannot fail. Therefore, God can create a rock of tremendous size, but, since He is all-powerful, He will always be able to lift it. The ability to fail is not a part of omnipotence.

YEAH WELL HAVE FUN!
