With all due respect, I believe that DITE deserves an honest anwser to his initial question, so let me be the first to attempt to do that w/ out errr... hitting him over the head w/ various heavy objects.
Recently RC Sproul dealt w/ this subject in detail. So these are not my thoughts...
So, can God create a rock so big that he cant lift it? This question is meant to put a christian in a delema. 1. If yes, then there can extist a substence which limits God (challenging His omnipotence). 2. If no, then there are somethings which God cant do (again, challenging His omnipotence).
The anwser is a big fat NO! But, the limitation here is not in God, in fact the limitation lies in definitions and implications of words.
All words have meaning, which is to say, their definitions. So what is a definition? A definition is that which circumscribes the meaning (aka, creates bounderies). Simply put, all words have implications, which CANNOT be brocken for any particular word to still have its meaning.
So lets dissect this monster... "Can God create a rock so big that He could not lift it?"
My point... The culprit here is the word CREATE! which will always imply that the creator must be greater then the created! Why is this always implied? Can you come up w/ any instence where this is not true? (hard reason).
Other question in this category?... "Can God create another God?" -- once again, breaking implication of CREATE --
"Can God solve a contradiction?" -- breaking circumscripting implications of CONTRADICTION being: something not solvable.
Therefore people who make up such questions (I am not implying you, DITE), in their zeal to point-out "fallacies" w/ in Christianity, demonstrate their own ignoranse concerning rational common sence.
Last question... who are now the blind ones?
