This is a variation of what happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object.

Can God create a stone so heavy that even He cannot lift it?

But it's too heavy to lift.

Your answer sans the last line was actually GOOD!

Welcome to Philosophy 101, day one.

I am very hegelian in here. To be able to lift the stone and not to be able to lift the stone is the same dialectically.

Then again if the god just went to the gym he'd be able to lift stone.

An unstoppable force, in order to become unstoppable, ought to possess infinite energy. On the other hand, an immovable object is non-submissive to any force of any magnitude, that is, it won***8217;t shift from its place at all.

So yeah, God would be capable of creating a stone that he cannot move.

Define "lift".

Define "stone".

I'd argue that a black hole fits the criteria for the mythical "immovable object" and not merely for its extreme mass & density, but because the very laws of physics that bind our universe (itself a creation of "God") become completely arbitrary within its boundaries.

And because movement itself is relative, in that context. We could imagine an even greater mass with which to attract the black hole, via gravity, and effectively drag it through spacetime. But from the perspective of the black hole, we would have only moved the universe(!) around it.

Since, for the purposes of this brain teaser, God created black holes... then we can say He has already created the stone that He cannot lift.

Data and Vanster are the closest to being "correct." And SeVeReD had good insight.

Energy can be converted to mass. Mass can be converted to energy.

If God uses all his energy to create matter, he no longer has energy to lift the matter.

What size stone could he pass if he needed to pee one out of his God wang?

What if it wasn't a stone but a impossibly heavy snowball on a roof?

When all probable causes are eliminated, the improbable (what is left) must be true.
