Comment on xkcd #3084: Unstoppable Force and Immovable Object

No that doesn’t make sense. The thing you’re alluring at is a classical thought experiment showing contradiction in allmightiness.

P1: God is Almighty, meaning he can do anything

Therefore he must be able to create a stone he can’t lift. But then there is something he can’t do: Either he can not lift the super stone, or he can not create a super stone that he can’t lift.

    I don’t know, heavy things attract other things, so maybe it is alluring ;)

An omnipotent and omniscient being would have the ability to change words definitions or logic. They cant be stopped with a logical contradiction

Easy to resolve that conflict. A creator would by definition be outside the universe since he predated it. However, if he went into the universe, his presence there would be subject to its laws

We can easily say the creator could make an immovable object, within its environment. If the creator went into the environment, he would be subject to its laws, and the front would fall off …. Er, the object would be immovable. However when his being s beyond the environment, creating an immovable object is just part of his plan
