I'm saying he can't both lift the rock, and not lift the rock.

Free will wouldn't be compromised if he just did something fantastic, a modern day miracle, and something that was worldwide. Say, turned the sky green and wrote "God was here 2k5". That would probably convince me.

Not always, but it's a good theory to follow. Take my example with the flargh creature. If you have all of the empirical evidence that you're ever going to get, and it could support either one of two theories, it makes more sense to belive the simplest theory. With the example of the earth going around the sun, people didn't have all of the information needed to really compare theories:

(1) Sun goes round the Earth.
(2) Earth goes round the Sun.

If I had lived then, I would have believed that the sun went round the earth, because based on what we could observe, it made the most sense. Now we know more, we know it's the other way round. If someone can provide irrefutable evidence of God, then I will believe in him.
