A Bad Question

"Can God create a rock he couldn't lift?"

This is an example of a bad question. Like, "How big is honesty?" Or, "What color are ideas?" The one is a physical description, the other a metaphysical description. They are incongruous.

A rock is, by definition, a finite physical reality. God is, by definition, an infinite spiritual reality. There can be, by definition, only one infinite. Everything else is finite. For a rock to be bigger than God, or beyond his ability to lift, God would no longer be infinite, the rock would be.

So the question of: "Can God create a rock he couldn't lift?" really breaks down to: "Can something be more infinite than infinity?".

A bad question.
