Well, what if last week, he took the Rocky Mt chain and morphed it into a gigantic, gravity-defyin phallus, miles high, and people saw him do it. Or, more accurately, they saw him muttering, "Hey Rockies, look like a penis!" and they did. Then he'd have evidence of SOMETHING.

Hey, if this guy was able to do this repeatably and verifiably, I'd be the first one to be totally impressed (although he still wouldn't be the Christian God). But of course, the Christian God tells you right up front that he hates being tested. Of course, in school the kids who hated tests the most were the ones who would fail them, so this does not inspire me to believe in this "God" character.

Just to clarify: I wasn't trying to make a statement as to whether the Christian God exists. I was simply trying to understand whether the argument that no omnipotent being can exist is valid.

Have a nice day, Itô
