"Can do" everything does not mean "Is doing" everything.

This is something that theologians don't seem to understand.

Creating a rock doesn't come with an associated obligation of lifting it, or of even trying to. So it being unliftable doesn't infringe omnipotence.





(Leaving aside the fact that this is all very anthropocentric and anti-Copernican. If God controls the universe, ultimately all rocks can be lifted; if not directly, then through physical forces such as gravity and dark energy. Thinking of a bearded guy grabbing a rock and being able or unable to lift it is good for art, but too anthropocentric to be meaningful. Obviously the guys who first thought up the paradox were not aware that black holes can lift; or rather, "throw", entire galaxies.)
