I don't know we as human cannot do it... But I don't see why not, and that's false that theologians (at least some) never say that god can't do self-contradictory thing... have you never heard "god is not bound to logic".... and for example, god could create two universe, one where he destroys the earth, one where he does not... (but that something we human could comprehend). I *don't* believe in god, but I can imagine such a being with no limit in power if it existed, and that could transcend *everything*, after all he's god !. > Logical contradiction is a matter of language; it can't refer because it > has no meaning. > If there is a god, meaning comes from god, not from the language or from you. god transcend reality. > > A miracle is ordinarily understood as an occurrence which is > *nomologically* impossible. > A miracle is understood as a miracle, it could be anything not possible without it... like *magic*. Using miracles or magics to say a logical reasoning is correct, is a fallacy... I won't agree it's correct reasoning to do that.
