@robvalue - Omniscience and omnipotence are rather silly....

I'm not going to get any farther with it either, I'm not good enough at it. But oddly, I've never seen any real proofs one way or the other related to omniscience and omnipotence, and suspect that has something to do with our inability to define these terms adequately. They're about as silly as thousands of angels dancing on a pinhead.
