8. Impossible Stone

The stone paradox is one often used to challenge claims that god is all-powerful and can do anything he wants to. It asks the question: If god can do anything, can they create a rock so heavy that they cannot lift it?

This results in a paradox that cannot be answered. If god can create the rock, it would mean that god cannot lift the rock he created. If god cannot lift the rock then he cannot do everything as is claimed. If he can lift the rock, then god is not able to make a rock so heavy that he cannot lift it.
