But when has there ever been either an unstoppable force or an immovable object? Could an omnipotent being create both, or is the notion of either one logically impossible? And if such infinites are impossible, then why is not the infinity of omnipotence impossible as well? What if a god did something so mundane as clap his hands? Would not one hand stop the other from moving when they collided? (Or is that last one a bit of a stretch?)

How do you know it is even possible? No one has ever so much as detected a non-physical being, so we would not be expected to know anything about one.

Could you elaborate on this? I don't think I see why this must necessarily be the case.
