Can God microwave a burrito so hot that even He couldn’t eat it?

Dette er et svar jeg gav på et spørsmål på siden Quora.com til spørsmålet om Gud kan mikrobølge en burrito som er så varm at han ikke kan spise den. Det er altså et spørsmål som har til hensikt å stille Guds allmektighet til veggs. Svaret er på engelsk.

This is basically the same kind of logic as from the more conventional question: «can God create such a heavy rock that even He could`nt lift it?»

This, supposedly logic, has the intention of questioning the omnipotence of God. In reality, this is in fact a meaningless question. The question is a logical fallacy in itself. A fallacy like this, is nothing but word after word – the meaning gives no sense if you presume what I think you do.

Let me frase it with another similar question. «Can God create square circles? After all, He is supposed to be allmighty.» What`s wrong with this? The question in itself. A circle is round. This is an axiom per definition. If you have said this, you have in other words said that it is in fact round – not square.

So if you assume that God is omnipotent, then you are in fact asking if God can be omnipotent while at the same time not being it. In other words: a logical fallacy.
