My take on this Euthyphro discussion.
The Euthyphro dilemma, and Chad's supposed solution are subsets of a larger question which remains.
None of these answers cover the issues of recursion and solipsism with respect to God.
Is there anything outside of God and how would She know this?
How does She know She is unaware of being a created being?
If God is omniscient, then does She know that there is nothing She does not know?
This last point is telling, because if it is answered, as Chad might, with an arbitrary declaration that, "She just does." then the law of non-contradiction is abrogated. God now knows the things that She does not know. All rational bets are now taken by the house and further discussion is fruitless.
How does God know She does not reside in an infinite area of order within a larger infinity of random stuff?
A fiat declaration that "She just does, does not satisfy."

So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
