If boulder means what I think it means, an enormous rock, linguee-translate is not clear in that, then I guess the answer to your question is yes, that he can.
Why couldn't he?
He can do everything according to your question, why not creating a boulder so heavy he couldn't lift it.
Of cause he could create a device to lift it if necessary or create himself the power to lift it afterwards, if the boulder would cause any problems.

So...he could create a big rock so heavy that even he couldnt lift it?

But if he couldnt lift it then...that means there is something that he couldnt do. So then he cant do everything.

Creating "a device" ( a divine forklift)? Why would he need to do that?

If he could do anything then he should be able to just lift the rock on his own.

Interesting.
But "all" encompasses everything, so non-ability belongs to it all as well - I guess.
The devine forklift (cool) takesGod out of the moment of inability, which belongs to all that is to lift the great rock.
Well, in my view, but it is an interesting question.
Thanks.

If an "unstoppable force" exists then by definition there are no "immovable objects".

And if an "immovable object" exists then by definition no "unstoppable force" exists.

Aren't the questions being asked only for the OP to answer?

And shouldn't the questions being asked be ones that can't be googled for the answer?

So far liveandrew asked the best question.
To which Anon_92 gave the worst possible answer.

Even I could tell that wasn't a meaningless string of numbers and I'm basically intellectually disabled when it comes to any form of mathematics.

I pm'd Lovenothate for that reason. To not answer it in public so that the OP could answer it.

But you are right that we are starting to go off the rails and to converse with each other.

But about you're other point: this is the 21st century. How CAN you ask a question that cant be quickly answered by Googling it?

I have been trying to think of obscure stuff I know that I could ask about, but everything I think of can be easily googled.

That mathmatical question was a good exception. And the OP (despite his ginormous intellect) failed that.

++++++++++++

Thats good. The Zodiac killer's message.

Who WAS the Zodiac killer? Can you ID him?

Who was Jack the Ripper?

Where can they find the remains of Emelia Earhardt?

The problem with those kinds of questions is one can either "confirm" a theory that already exits or just make up something, since no exact answer exists.

Exactly. You can't - not on an online forum. The OP knows this, and is still trying to use it to demonstrate his intellect as if others couldn't see the proverbial man behind the curtain. To test the OP's claims, you would have to isolate him without any access to an Internet connection and get any results that way. Controlled conditions. Skype may be helpful in a "live" fashion, restricting him to looking at the camera and having a time limit imposed, so he cannot look it up online - if anyone actually cared that much.
Topics like this can only do for some interesting / amusing discussion, which is probably why everyone has started to communicate horizontally. :wink:

You're welcome. I should have said anything involving numbers along with code or whatever.
