I think thats the idea :-)
>but my theory is God is God. He is all powerful and can do anything, anytime, anywhere, any place.
But can he make a rock so heavy that he can't move it?
- If he can't make the rock then there is something he can't do...
- If he can make the rock then it seems that moving the rock is something that he can't do...So it seems it is logically contradictory to imagine that god can do EVERYTHING.
> God has stepped in and done things against "natural" law before. Have you ever read the story of the burning bush? Or the parting of the Red Sea? Or even the resurrection of the dead?
It is controversial whether these events actually go contrary to the laws of nature... If there was a lightning strike (for example) then god could have made the bush burn without having to go contrary to the laws of nature...
