It just doesn't make sense, it's inconceivable, it's nonsensical and it's impossible to do by the definitions of the terms invovled.
God can't make something that is at the same time a square and not a square. He can't invent a number that is both positive and negative. I'm sure can't even conceive of what that would look like, because I sure as hell can't. God can do literally anything that is possible/conceivable, which is the definition that most Christians mean when they use the word "omnipotent".
That's the thing, it seems logic trumps god. Some things are just logically impossible. If this is not case, our whole basic idea of how logic works must be wrong. How can you prove our logic is wrong, without using logic?
It's just ludicrous how people claim to know so much about something that they can't even demonstrate is anything other than a figment of their imagination. In fact, that fully explains why they know so much about it, and why everyone's ideas are different.
Any kind of omni claim is simple childish fantasy. "My dad's bigger than your dad." Can't leave room for a bigger dad out there.
