Perhaps we're just getting carried away.

Keep in mind that the Christian god is meant to be all powerful and all knowing.

And I believe questions like "can god create a rock he can't lift" are a waste of time. Our language resides in the world of the limited. If we are (hypothetically of course) talking about something all powerful, then our language will fall short of trying to describe or challenge it. I think a different attack is needed.

Ask this question: If god was real, who do you think would be more complex - A human or god?
