(I started this thread anew because I believe that threads over two pages scare off new posters.)

For the record this is a famous philosophical question with no real answer used to prepare the mind to think differently, creatively, and critically.

As such I am disappointed to hear the same combative baiting posts by the same people on every other thread on this board. My hope was that posing this question would cause the board to take a new direction and think philosophically rather than emotionally.

As I was wrong I will move on to analyze the responses.

Most (perhaps all) of you went with most students initial answer ??yes.? The reason for this usually is that when theists see ??Can God?? they immediately say yes because they believe God can do anything.

One could rephrase the question negatively along the lines of: ??Can God not be able to lift a stone of infinite weight?? but that is really a different question.

If anyone would like to discuss this question then please post if not let this thread die. I am a lover of theology and I would like at least one thread on this board to have philosophical merit and not be filled with the emotional outbursts which make theological differences a bloodbath the world over.
