I have learned a lot in my long day of having a blog.  Things have changed rapidly.  I switched from WordPress.com to Blogger at one point.  Later, I decided to abandon Blogger because the interface sucks and host it on my own site using WordPress.  I’ve gotten five visitors and one comment.  It’s been a wild ride, that’s for sure.

One of the things I learned was ‘link to a lot of other people’s blogs.’  In my first blog post, you may notice that I was goofing around and putting links to everyone and their mother just for the fun of it.  That strategy really paid off, and got me my first commenting visitor!  I went and checked out his blog and, as it turns out, it’s actually somewhat interesting.  It’s still a blog and has things like his perspective class list sitting in there for no reason among the more interesting things, but it’s not bad for being a blog and I added it to my links section.  Thus the other thing I learned was ‘blogs can be somewhat interesting.’  This particular person posts a lot of stuff on the free will vs. determinism debate.  Specifically he has a lot of stuff from the biological realm.  Just check it all out for yourself here.

One of the leading criticisms of the Christian conceptualization of God is that he is omnipotent. Without omnipotence, Christians would have to admit to a much less powerful God than what they suppose exists. There have been various arguments for the impossibility of omnipotence.

That seems on its face to completely disprove omnipotence. The answer to the question has to be yes or no. If it’s yes, then God would not be able to lift the rock and would therefore not be omnipotent. If it is no, he would not be able to create the rock and would therefore not be omnipotent. Airtight argument right? However, I’m actually going to disprove that argument.
