Logical absolutes/God

[robvalue]

How about, "How can you possibly know that? Even if he showed up in front of you, how could he demonstrate he is maximally powerful? No matter what he does there's always something that would require even more power."

So you're saying if God is maximally powerful he could not violate the laws of logic and demonstrating maximal power of God is just demonstrating logic...

No that wasn't my point, I'm saying that even if he is maximally powerful, he could never demonstrate it to us. He could only demonstrate power by using that power to do something. And whatever it is that he did, you could find a harder task than that, and so on. So as far as we're concerned, he can keep on breaking the world record for most powerful thing we have ever seen, but he's still only displaying a finite amount of power each time.

He would have to do something that could only be done with an unlimited amount of power, or whatever the heck "maximal logically possible power" means... and I don't think we'd be able to do anything other than take his word for it, even if he did something like that, because we wouldn't understand what the fuck he was doing.
