could God create a rock that is too heavy for him to move?

that is a paradox.  such an object can not exist.  i have a story for you:\n\nWise teacher was asked by an unbeliever, can God make the whole world small enough to fit into an egg?  Wise teacher said "come with me".  The two men went outside and climbed to the top of the mountain.  Wise teacher asked "what do you see?"  Unbeliever said "I see mountains, rivers, trees. . . I feel like I can see the whole world from here."  \n\nWise teacher said "See?  God can fit the whole world into your eyeball, which is smaller than an egg."

Yes.  God can do anything including things that seem impossible to you and me.   I cannot concieve how he would do it, but then I am not God.  I can concieve, however, that an all powerful God could will himself unable to pick up a grain of sand (I know you were thinking of something a little larger).  And since He is all powerful, He could will Himself able to pick it up when it suited His plan.  I know this is lame circular logic, but so was your question.

Well, if man is actually created in God's image then I would have to assume He would blow up the Earth.\n\nTherefore, I wouldn't worry about the Earth blowing up.

Yes. Let me work this through logically as I see it.\n\nGod created you in his own image - meaning that you are infinite in potential and creative power. (You also have free will. Cool.)\n\nThen you chose this setting* to experience your power. In heaven / nirvana / afterlife, it's kind of dull... everything is unified and perfect, and there's so much love, there's no way to experience it. So you created this place with your infinite power, and you caused yourself to temporarily forget who you are. So here you are, wandering down the street wearing a coat and completely unaware that you have these infinite powers. Right?\n\n(*This "setting" is whatever reality you're experiencing right now. I don't need to go into detail.)\n\nSo you come upon a big rock. You look at the rock and the first thought that enters your mind is "Man, there's no way I'm going to be able to lift that." And - poof - you've created that experience, based on your creative thought, which was based on an assumption that you set there voluntarily. So you go to try to lift the rock using the only strength you know you have: your physical muscles. You fail. No surprise.\n\nNow back up: You've tried to lift the stone. You and God are actually one and the same, but you don't realize this. You created the stone in the first place. So yes, God is all-powerful and he created this Universe, and he has created a stone that he then experienced not being able to lift. That isn't to say that you can NEVER lift the stone... just that you have experienced not-lifting-ness.\n\nJust as your logic is based on assumptions which are based on your observations, MY logic (which I use here) is based on assumptions which are based on MY observations. Given the assumptions that I have made, does my logic make sense?\n\nContact me if you're curious.

God is so powerful, he can even cause Internet trolls to (oh so cleverly, they think) copy and paste into Yahoo Answers some clever riddle they found on the Internet about big rocks or hot burritos; it is easy of course to frame up some nonsense question, a poor man's version of an Escher drawing, and demand that God fulfill it.\n\nThis one fails more easily than most, at least in terms of a Christian response. Here's how God, if he were not mindful of his own words to not "put the Lord your God to the test," could work it:\n\n1. God the Father creates a one ton rock, and drops it in Galilee.\n\n2. Christ the Son tries to move it using only natural means, and since Christ is both Fully God and Fully Man, his natural-only efforts, being human, do not succeed.\n\nVoila; copy-paste Internet troll foiled!!

This is called the Omnipotent Paradox.\n"Can an omnipotent man build a rock so heavy that he cannot lift it himself?"\n\nOnce you've thought a bit about that, you can go to the link below that is all about the paradox with discussion if you'd like.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omnipotence_Paradox\n\nThe following is called the Grandfather paradox, having to do with time travel. \n"Suppose you travelled back in time and killed your biological grandfather before he met your grandmother. Then you would never have been conceived, so you could not have traveled back in time after all. In that case, your grandfather would still be alive and you would have been conceived, allowing you to travel back in time and kill your grandfather, and so on."\n\nHere's the link to the Grandfather paradox discussion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandfather_paradox\n\nThere are tons more that you can read about, too! Click on the link below that leads to a list of paradoxes that you can click on to find out more about them. \nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_paradoxes\n\nEnjoy! Hope this helps.

Wow that is amazing.  I never knew this.  I am going to look that up when I get home and read about it.\n\nAs far as my answer to your question - I do not believe god can do it because I don't believe the bible...\n\nstill you have an interesting point

He's God, so if he chooses not to exist, he can do it. The asker is correct. Hahah!\nRead up about the paradox of creating a stone that cannot be lifted. It's on wikipedia, by the way.

To answer your question simply and directly; yes. An object's motional energy loss is proportional to itself; it's a result of the forces of gravity acting directly on objects based on their respective masses and distances.\n\nAs the stone goes up in the air, it loses kinetic energy due to the pull of gravity -- it decelerates until it stops moving upward, then begins moving downward. \n\nThe second you let go of the rock, its acceleration is constant; its kinetic energy decreases as it slows down and then increases again as it falls to earth.\n\nThe kinetic energy of the rock turns into potential energy as it gets higher; kinetic energy being equal to one-half the rock's mass times its velocity squared, and potential energy being the rock's mass times the rock's height above ground times the constant acceleration due to gravity.\n\nIn a vacuum, all the rock's kinetic and potential energy would add up to the same value at any point in its rise and fall; if you threw it hard enough to give it, say, a hundred kilojoules of kinetic energy, when it reached the top of its trajectory and began to fall down, it would have zero kinetic energy but a hundred kilojoules of potential energy. On earth, it wouldn't work like that; some small amount of energy would be lost due to wind resistance, etc.

It happened. Could happen again if that's what God decided, but he made a promise to us that it wouldn't (thus the rainbow)\nBut yes, it could happen. Whether there's enough water or not, let's not forget the ice, and if some earth needed to be dropped a little so the water could cover it, guess what God would send? an Earthquake! So that's what I think. It happened. Kind of amazing but that's what he is!

It is clear you are trying to say Joshua could have helped Moses carved those stones, like i normally say, you are entitled to what you think, but i do know the bible says the writings on those stones, were written with the finger of God. Exodus.31:18\n\n"And when He had made an end of speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Moses two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God."

No. I think anything is possible with God.

Yes he can but he can always ask Jesus to lift it.

again - the question here is not whether or not he can lift a rock, it's "what is infinite". God is infinite - we can't understand that with our human brain because God is in a dimension that we can't comprehend (yet). It's like we as  a 3 dimensional person tried to explain ourselves to someone who lived in only 2 dimensions. They don't understand the 3rd dimension because they don't live it.\n\nTherefore there is no answer to this question - God is infinite.

I doubt ... I have no source proves otherwise though.\nThe source however says it is 45 higher than the pyramid of Khufu and it is made of granite

I dunno.  \n\nWhat kind of wood did God tell Noah too make the Ark out of?\n\nThere is a reason it took so long too make it. Why?
