    Post your favorite paradoxes here.

    If God is omnipotent can he create an object that even he can't lift? (Note: This is not an invitation to discuss religion, just an example of one.)

    That space-time relativity. It's more than I can comprehend. It brings up in discussion at least two systems of laws but it doesn't show the corelation between them - theyvare 'relative' to themselves(?).

    Beside that, religion says the oposite of science. It says that 1 can become two and two can be more than one. Like how two humans can make another human.

    And so on.

    I'll go with family guy creation of the universe. Stewie went back in time to before the creation of the universe, nothing was there. He blew the place up causing the big bang, so did the universe exist before he got there or was he the one who created it?

    action and reaction, if big bang was first then it exploded from itself to move the first particles, but something cannot move if it doesn't have force, then what started the universe?

    Chicken or egg first?

    If a robot will always following an order from it's master, what will happen if the master say "don't follow my order!

    If god create an immovable object? Can the god itself move it?

    If i go back to the past to kill myself, tell me who i am?

    He can because of omnipotence, if he could not move it that would oppose his his omnipotence, meaning he would not have powers to create immovable object.

    It's like strongest spear striking strongest shield, the shield will break, because the "strongest" powers will cancel each other, and as there is saying you cannot win defending, the shield that is attacked will eventualy break.
