It would be incorrect to say that he cannot; rather, it is that there is nothing there to perform. Aquinas again: "It is more exact to say that the intrinsically impossible is incapable of production, than to say that God cannot produce it."

Well, this was a little bit tricky at first but I understand it now. You have a more sensible argument than mine. Thanks for the explanation. Smile
