Can God make a rock so big that he can't lift it?

I AGREE

Is the question really a sensible one to be asking in relation to arguing the existence of the Christian idea of G()D, as the individual in the video suggests?

In wiki there seem to be other objections to the question involving gravity...and alternative questions to get around that which involve triangles and prisons, neither of which I can see as any different from the gravity problem because they all involve the physics associated with this universe.

If I were the omnipotent One, how would I answer this question?

Likely I would say "of course I can, because I am able to do all things! However, in order to do this thing I would have to become non omnipotent for the period of time it would take to show this can be done. Thus I would have to create the circumstances whereby I could become non omnipotent for a little while and then become omnipotent again afterwards."

So I create some kind of arena where all those who ask the question could be seated so they might view my display, and I would enter into that arena I have created, in whatever appropriate form I would choose to wear in order to be able to show this.

I would attempt to lift the rock and my attempt of course would fail.

Having shown this can be done I would then leave the situation and return to being my omnipresent self.
