Yea you may be right about that. But I think real point of these kind of questions is creating something bigger than infinity. At least I thought that way, when I first heard it. "His power is infinite but can he create a stone that he cannot lift" or "can he create a god stronger than he is."(this one also damages god's most powerful title.)
And it does not contradicts omnipotence's definition but his claim about being omnipotent. Though, I have to admit that it is about our understanding of infinity.And we don't even know that if there could be infinity or not. we just clasiffy things that we dont know its ending as infinite. But in order to god being omnipotent he has to have endless power. So with our concept of infinity there can't be an omnipotent god. Becouse there is nothing bigger than infinity and therefore you cannot create something bigger than infinity.
And by the way since when being omnipotent is possible? So it has to contradict with it's meaning for one can't be omnipotent And this question points out that nothing can be omnipotent. the more I think about it the more convinced I am that it does refute omnipotence.
