Is there a negative zero?
Yes. In ones-complement binary arithmetic all zeros represent positive zero and all ones represents negative zero. Most computers, today, use twos-complements arithmetic where all zeros represents zero and all ones represents minus one.
If God is omnipotent, can He create a weight too heavy for Him to lift?
It’s nonsense. He doesn’t do nonsense.
Plato had a dim idea of the Forms, even though He didn’t know that they are formed by a Former, an Almighty.
God pronounces, some say He sings something, completely new.
He pronounces with performance speech.
He says it, it becomes reality.
You and I have opinions. How nice.
God’s “opinion” is Reality.
What a concept.
What is twice as cold as zero degrees?
I say....no. What is sound? Until the sound waves are detected by an ear human or otherwise) or some other auditory device, it is just a mass of air molecules moving through space. No ear...no sound. Only moving air.
Have they solved the one about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, yet?
Eternity is outside of time. It is different from in infinite amount of time.
With God all things are possible.
Relatively recently Science has awoken to the fact that interstellar space is full of dust, so how much red-shift does that add? Plus how much mass would it take to bend light full circle?
Wasn’t it Hegel who thought God was a perpetually self-contemplating being, and that the universe was the result of God trying to see who He was? Nothing good has ever come out of Hegel (Marx, Engels, and Lenin, among others)
“What is the sound of one hand clapping?”
Summa Theologiae (Proma Pars Q. 7)
Article 1. Whether God is infinite?
Article 2. Whether anything but God can be essentially infinite?
Article 3. Whether an actually infinite magnitude can exist?
Article 4. Whether an infinite multitude can exist?

How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?
God resides in dimensions other than the ones we are stuck with.
In Scholastic thought:
Eternity doesn’t have extension. It’s timeless. God is eternal. It doesn’t take him any time at all to know himself.
This is the kind of stuff that midwits might find convincing.
Space curvature:
Suppose you had two very long strings.
You anchored each at anchor points on the equator.
Then you and a friend walked due north — 90° from the equator. You would meet at the north pole.
So two lines perpendicular to the same line, which is what we thought of as parallel, meet, because the earth is sort of spherical.
Now erect 2 lasers, each 90° from a steel bar, both pointing straight up. If the distance between the light beams varies, then you can say space is curved. If they converge it’s curved kinda like a sphere. If they diverge, maybe it’s like a hyperboloid.

A man asks God, “What’s a million dollars to you?”
God says, “A penny.”
Then the man asks God, “What’s a million years to you?”
God says, “A second.”
Then the man asks God, “Can I have a penny?”
And God says, “Sure, just give me a second.”
Humans do not have a grasp of infinity. We do not have the intelligence to know or to imagine how many dimensions there are in the universe let alone to prove it. We do not have enough intelligence to imagine part of the powers of God.
