Okay, now, first off: Even omnipotence can't do the logically impossible. Nothing can possibly do the logically impossible by definition. Nothing can defeat logic.
Therefore, if true omnipotence is supposed to evade logic, it can't exist.
However, if omnipotence is merely being able to do anything that is possible, omnipotence could be very unimpressive indeed because sometimes an omnipotent being may only be able to possibly do something very unimpressive.
Let's think about perfection now too. What is perfection? What does it mean for something to be perfect? Without flaws? Flawsless? Well, surely, that's only without possible flaws though, otherwise we're talking about an impossible kind of perfection...
So, if the only perfection possible at a given time seems far from what we would think of as 'perfect', that's still perfection if we're only, obviously, talking about possible perfection.
When something is happening then it is by definition happening that way, so when that really is happening that is all that is happening, and so that is both the best and worst that can be....
Would you really call anything perfect or omnipotent if it is really just an occurrence of both the best and worst possible world at any given time whether predetermined or probabilistic?
Thoughts?
