[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] chezlaw: If you're omnipotent, the only way to make something you cannot unmake is to devoid yourself of that power. Once you do that, you'll no longer be omnipotent [/ QUOTE ] I'm not sure what you mean by unmake but if you deny god the ability to do things that reduce his omnipotence then you are denying god's omnipotence. A coherent meaning of omnipotence such as an omnopiotent being can do anything they want but in making p the case they make ~p impossible, avoids the problem I think. So god can make the world in 7 days but that entails not making it in 8 days. god can flip a random coin but then cant predict the outcome. and if god really wants to he can commit deicide. chez [/ QUOTE ] om·nip·o·tent ( P ) Pronunciation Key (m-np-tnt) adj. Having unlimited or universal power, authority, or force; all-powerful. See Usage Note at infinite. n. One having unlimited power or authority: the bureaucratic omnipotents. Omnipotent God. Used with the. God is supposed to be able to do anything if he is omnipotent. [/ QUOTE ] Yes thats what I'm saying to. So anyone who says he cant do something (like make a coin flip random)has a problem as well. The resolution is to make omnipotent coherent or just give up on reason because of a silly mis-interpretaion of the word unlimited. |
