The God Of The Bible Is Omnipotent

The resolution is simply whether or not the creator of the universe has all powers. If the creator of the universe *didn't* create the universe, then that's a power he lacks. This lack would also negate his existence given the agreed definitions. *Creation*Creation is a number of time-based actions, of a related kind, coming one after another, taken in order to bring something into existence. See for yourself:creation - the PROCESS of bringing something into existence. . https://en.oxforddictionaries.com...process - a SERIES of actions taken in order to achieve a particular end. . https://en.oxforddictionaries.com...series - a number of events of a related kind coming one AFTER another. . https://en.oxforddictionaries.com...after - in the TIME following an event. . https://en.oxforddictionaries.com...Therefore, creation is necessarily a temporal process that uses events, one after another, to bring something into existence. This process, creator existing-->creating-->created product, is unavoidably time-based. The idea that a creator precedes its created product is therefore also time-based. How can there be precedence (before) without time? Therefore, without time and the passage thereof, the process of creation cannot occur and a creator cannot precede its creation. *Spacetime*While you may get some differing physicist's opinions on whether or not space and time are the same thing, there is no dispute that they are interdependent. In fact, that's why they put space and time on a continuum, spacetime. "In the first place it is clear that the equations must be linear on account of the properties of homogeneity which we attribute to space and time. ". http://www.fourmilab.ch...Space is also currently expanding at a fixed rate proportional to the distance between the galaxies, called the Hubble Constant. . http://iopscience.iop.org...What's great is that we can go back in time by using the inverse of the Hubble Constant and see how long the universe has been expanding. Doing this indicates that space, and therefore time, were at one point very, very small, and as recent anisotropy probes have detected, there was a point when there was no space, therefore no time. . https://science.nasa.gov...This also means that our universe's origin is also the origin of spacetime. When there was no universe, there was no space, therefore no time. Spacetime and the passage thereof originated at the big bang, the origin of our universe. Therefore, creation, which necessarily is based on spacetime, cannot occur without the universe existing first. It'd be like saying that a creator used time to originate time. .. the temporal inadequacies should be obvious. Therefore, there is no creator of a universe that wasn't created AND the power to create our universe is not possessed by god, leaving him LIMITED in the number of powers he has. *Omnipotence Problem 1*I've tried to explain this concept to many a theist and they can't quite seem to understand it. The set of ALL POWERS, which omnipotence necessarily entails, must include powers that exist in opposition to each other. This is just one example, but an omnipotent entity MUST have the power to move anything. This entity also MUST have the power to resist (be immovable to) anything. But I'm not going to leave the omnipotence paradox right there, like most critics of omnipotence do. Instead, I'm going to point out that the set of ALL POWERS must also include the power to infinitely remain able to move anything and the power to infinitely remain immovable to anything. So, omnipotence necessarily includes:1. The power to move anything.2. The power to resist (not be moved by) anything.3. The power to infinitely remain able to move anything.4. The power to infinitely remain able to resist anything. If god has the power to move anything, #1, he therefore can move himself. This would violate #2, because he can resist anything, including himself. If god has the power to resist anything, #2, he therefore can resist himself. This would violate #1, because he can move anything, including himself. So many theists say, "well he can temporarily relinquish his ability to move anything and allow himself to be resisted. "This however, would then violate #3, because he supposedly has the power to infinitely remain able to move anything, and this temporary dip in power negates the power to infinitely remain all powerful. So, Pro, can god move anything and infinitely remain immovable? Pro, can god resist anything and infinitely remain irresistible? *Omnipotence Problem 2*Here is a list of things that the god of the bible cannot do, and certainly Pro will agree.1. God cannot infinitely gain power. Because god supposedly has all of the power, he therefore cannot gain power or create more power to gain. This obviously cannot be done infinitely, because god can't even gain any power, let alone an infinite amount.2. God cannot physically demonstrate his existence without negating his existence. Being incomprehensible, due to infinite complexity, is yet another power in the set of ALL POWERS. For god to demonstrate his existence physically would mean for him to be comprehended in some fashion and this would negate his infinite complexity and his power to infinitely remain incomprehensible.3. God cannot act against his original intentions and choose freely. Being that god has the power to infinitely be correct, his intentions and subsequent actions are always correct. He therefore cannot go against his original intentions and act freely, instead he's LIMITED by his original intentions.4. God cannot fly. Being that god is superior to both gravity and air resistance, god cannot be susceptible to either force. Well, that's what the power to fly is. To admit that god could fly, would be to admit his utter submission to the laws of gravity and aerodynamics and that he needs to maneuver around them to travel distance in the air.5. God cannot encounter or solve difficult problems. Nothing is difficult for god, so god cannot solve difficult problems, in fact, god cannot solve problems, because he would never be able to encounter a problem. Encountering a problem would admit a lack of knowing how to solve something. God cannot encounter or solve problems because of this. *Conclusion*The universe wasn't created, because creation and precedence are both temporal (time-based), and without the universe, there is no spacetime or the passage thereof, therefore there was no creation or creator of the universe. This lack of a power negates god's existence and omnipotence given the definitions of this debate. Omnipotence is inherently contradictory, because in the set of ALL POWERS exists a near infinite amount of contradictory powers that necessarily exist in opposition to each other. Having all of these powers and remaining infinitely powerful do not jive, so one must reject the claim of omnipotence, god of the bible or otherwise. Pro?
