Omnipotence and “all powerful” are incorrect words to use when encompassing all possibilities of illogical or self-contradicting occurances. In Christianity we have this statement regarding God being able to create a rock too big to move, or this sort of thing. “Nonsense is nonsense, even when you try to apply it to God.”
I did not make an argument paralleling "a deity cant' make a rock so big he could not lift hence deity is not omnipotent." I'm saying that you can't pin the laws of nature or the existence of carbon on a deity that you believe has violated the laws of nature to perform life and other so called 'miracles'.
I need to know what you believe about the history of the universe. There are a lot of different points of views and knowing what your point of view is helps a lot because knowing prevents us from arguing over points we already agree on. so what's your position on the history of the universe, life, and everything?
a. are you a young earth creationist? do you believe that the universe is 6000 +- 4000 years old and that your deity created everything at once (everything at once: all the galaxies in their current state)?
b. are you an old earth creationist? do you believe that the universe is as old as physicists all around the world say (about 16 billion years old or something) yet not believe in evolutionary biology?
c. are you a new creationist? do you believe in evolutionary biology and a billions of years old universe but believe that your deity created the laws of the universe so that humans would come into existence and worship him eventually?
