It doesn't matter how this hypothetical God would "solve" the paradox. You're making up a personality to with a God that can't even exist in the first place in hopes "He" can argue away the paradox. That's sophistry.

The paradox doesn't really exist. The original question, "Could God create a rock too big for Him to lift?" contains the following flaws:

To grant such a foolish question the status of paradox is to not understand the question at all.

No, Dataman, you entirely misunderstand. The point of a paradoxical question is to show that there is a such thing as a paradox. A paradox illustrates that inviolable limits exist. Something that is A and not B cannot then simultaneously be A and B. For instance, there is no such thing as a square circle. It cannot exist.

Do you understand so far?
