Das Paradox

[FalloutJack]

I've done this joke before. It's still funny as hell.

Whatever the joke is, It's not very obvious. Plus the pictures small. What am I looking at?

Also, is THAT the joke? That people try to find something? Cause that's super lame.

Gah, there's always someone...

It's a PAIR OF DOCKS.

*Shakes head*

Well that was ambiguous. Are you saying that I got it right? Or that someone always guesses that even though it's wrong?
I still don't see anything Paradoxical about this picture...

Please tell be that you were being sarcastic.

Oh, and FalloutJack, it's a nice effort, but I can only respond to that pun with this.

That's how I feel about the guy who doesn't even get it.

Can omni-potent god (an all powerful god) create a stone which he cannot lift.

If he can't create it then he isn't all powerful.

If he creates it but then is unable to lift it he still isn't all powerful.

Not a paradox, you just prooved the lack of existence of an Omni-potent God.

No, an omni-potent God could still exist, he would be able to defy logic.
So he could in fact create this stone. And he could still lift it. While this would be logically impossible, if he is omni-potent, he can do it regardless.

No, it just means an Omni Potent God wouldn't exist because it would defy logic.

Intresting... so you say, that logic is the be all end all law, that cannot be overcome by anything?
That something, that defys logic, cannot exist?
Well, a paradox defys logic, and yet it does exist. So that would mean, that an omni-potent god could be a paradox. Which in turn makes perfect sense, since an omni-potent god could be everything he wants to be^^

But just out of curiosity, what is your (or anyones) stand on the question, whether or not logic is this one absolute law, that even a god would have to obey? I don't think so, but I can see why others would.

Not all logic is known, all logic never will be know (I think, at least) - there needs to be logic in order to prove anything, I know I'm contradicting my statement, but here I say: All Paradoxes can be proved and "worked out" as it were (I apologise if this doesn't make too much sense, I have trouble explaining things - I know what I mean in my mind at least! xD).

I watched the Watchmen last night, and one character (The Owl or something like that?) said to a female character who was in love with Dr Manhattan "He only pretends to care about you because he does care about you". My mind was blown.
