[Serious] The Story

[Pat Mustard]

At a cosmic level if God created a Perfect Being it would also be God. And since there can be only one God it follows that it cannot be done. The notion that creation is imperfect is embedded in the narrative. There's a snake in the garden.

So something can't be perfect unless it's omniscient, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent? Ordinarily, perfect means 'without flaws'. I wouldn't say not being all-powerful is a flaw.

Edit: Sorry for the double post.

Problem with tgat formulation is that it is impossible to be both omniscient and omnipotent. If one is omniscient it means they know everything, which means that the universe is perfectly deterministic. In a deterministic universe there is no power because every action is mapped out ahead of time with no chance for deviatoon.
