.'Can your God make so heavy a ball which no one will be able to lift ?.'
I felt that there was a bit of taunt and also a lot of curiosity in the tone of his question !.
He perhaps thought that if the ball made conforms correctly to his specification, then even God should not be able to lift it and in such a case, God can no more be called omnipotent.
if God is able to lift it, then it means that God could not just make a ball conforming to a given specification that no body should be able to lift the ball.
Thus God fails to be omnipotent either way!
He - the creator of the universe and all the life therein, it's sustainer and also the one who can withdraw it - is called God by all, a term that makes him omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient.
I further told my friend(for the sake of technical substantiation) that a 'heavy' ball need not be made to prove the point.
It is like declaring 'heads I win, tails you lose !'
My reply to his question was that God can do it.

If the force of attraction of earth's gravity is increased for a while, then one will not be able to lift even his finger , why to talk of lifting a ball !
During the time that the gravitational force of earth is kept increased, the pulls on the other planets will of course have to be kept suitably altered to prevent interplanetary collisions.
Can the God or the Shakti(force) that created and is sustaining the universe not do it?
By simple inference, the answer is 'He can'.
By simple inference, the answer is 'He can'.
However, I advised him on the best course of action to clear his doubt; ie. to approach this Shakti whom we all refer to as God and take a test of it's omnipotence himself!
I sincerely wish him success in his search for God!

Much can be said on either side of the issue: believers and non-believers.
ReplyDeleteFor people who believe in God, no proof is necessary, and for people who do not believe in God no proof is possible! There ends the conclusion.
The discussion, however, can be prolonged to any length of time!
