immovable objects

Posted on Apr 4, 2006 at 2:38am
haha this is a pretty cool answer to a common question that people ask (source):
} This is a question often brought up by people arguing against the
} existence of an omnipotent God. I tried it out once.
}
} Oracle: Hey, God, you can do anything, right?
} God: This is true.
} Oracle: Well, I bet you can't create an immovable stone.
} God: Oh yeah? How much?
} Oracle: Ten pints and a packet of peanuts.
} God: You're on. <Creates an immovable stone>
} Oracle: That's pretty impressive.
} God: You bet it is.
} Oracle: How about a double-or-nothing bet?
} God: Sure, why not?
} Oracle: I bet you can't move it over there.
} God: That's not fair! You're playing with semantics and petty logic.
} Oracle: So? If you can move it, you owe me the ten pints and a packet
} of peanuts. If you can't, then I still don't owe you anything.
} God: Let me think about this one... Got it. <Disincorporates
} universe, and reconstructs it with the stone in a different
} place> You see, I can play games with logic and semantics too.
}
} You owe the Oracle twenty pints and two packets of peanuts.
