Hmmm, that's a good question!.!.!.

I think that if he ever wanted a rock so heavy that even he can't lift it, then I'm sure he could and would make one :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think your question is intended to imply that God is flawed!.
Instead, I think it just implies that your question is flawed!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

god did not make rock!.
he is rock!
he is the process of creating!
not the creater!.!.!.

So far, on Yahoo answers archived, some form of this question has been asked in excess of 49,000 times!. There are at least 250,000 answers!. After you go through those, if you still have a question, I will be more than happy to try to answer it for you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You seem to be under the impression that "god" is some kind of male entity!?!?!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Only if God wants to!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Why would He do that!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

if the god you are on about is outside of space and time (i assume here that you mean the god of classic theism and once again i am assuming the god of the Abrahamic religions forgive me if i am wrong) then probably not as you see they accept absolutely the simple view of god (god is outside of space and time, god is uniques, god is all powerful, god is eternal, god has no body etc) this having no body part would mean that god could not lift the rock in the way (i assume again) that a person would!. if not then why does the weight matter!?!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Might be, that he has done it already!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

God - Omnipotent

The answer is no!. The All Powerful Being could lift a rock of infinite weight!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

and the follow-up question, "can God make a burrito so hot that even he Himself cannot eat it!?"Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!. For that to be possible, it would mean that he would be limited in strength!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't know but if you want to swim with us philosophers you should check your question!.!.!.!.it is can't!.!.!.not cant
sorry to correct you but one must be very precise when asking questio!.n of this magnitudeWww@QuestionHome@Com

I'm sure he could, however if he is so powerful he would create such a rock knowing what will happen to it and knowing that he will never need to lift it!.

Look at humans, we create plenty of giant rocks we can't lift, then again we can't see into the future and see such consequences of these rocks!. (Sorry that was a bad example but hey it was the best one I could come up with!.)

Oh wait I have another example! The titans!. Zeus's father ate all of his brothers and sisters however When Zeus was born his mother hid him and saved his life!. Then Zeus returned and retrieved his brothers and sisters (Poseidon, etc!.!.!.) and imprisoned his father and the other titans!.
You could say that Zeus's Father girthed a rock to big but he also had a way of dealing with it!. But in the end the rock (Zeus) was still greater!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
