Said LeGrande:The gist of the argument was that nothing is faster than the speed of light, therefore an omnipotent God doesn't exist because the speed of light is a limit.

LeGrande, While it would take faith to believe that something could move faster then the speed of light in vacuum because nothing's ever been demonstrated to move faster then the speed of light in vacuum, your assertion (that nothing is faster then the speed of light) is purely dogmatic and as such simply does not prove the non-existence of anything, not even God. (Nor does it prove the existence of anything.)

But I guess this dogmatic ill logic of yours is the same reason you'd ask us to believe that a stationary heavenly body 12 light hours away above the equator would appear in the east while it was really to the west to an observer on the earth, at any instant in time...! [grin]

Some things can move faster than the speed of light but they can’t include mass.

The reason is that the energy to move a grain of sand the speed of light would be more than all the energy in the universe. In math terms, it approaches infinity.
