Allow me to say that, this is, in no way, an attempt to disprove God (for I believe such a thing is impossible). It is, in no way, stating that God came into existence when man did. It is, in no way, saying anything about God; rather, saying something about the common depiction God by men to other men and themselves. It is an attempt to show that man cannot truly understand or quantify God, and that even the widley accepted descriptions and phrases used to do so defeat themselves when actually applied to any concept of infinity.

The word omnipotent, along with omnipresent and all knowing bring me to the actual point; the inability of concepts, words and descriptions created by man to describe, fathom, perceive and, otherwise, quantify God. What is constantly perpetuated, instead, is a man with infinite power rather than a God. A man who, in heaven, sits on a throne and commands things. A man who ponders on if he should create an unliftable rock or not. A man who knows everything. Man is readily able to describe another man with concepts that man has created, though, language is not capable of describing God, or anything dealing with the concept of infinity.

Let us take the phrase all knowing for how it is applied to God. The defenition is quite self explained, no? Knowing all. There is nothing that an all knowing being does not know. In order, though, for the man-made concept of knowing to exist, there must be a concept of not knowing something, for knowing is the absense of not knowing and vise versa (along the philosophy that there is no life without death, no black without white, etc.).

Now, taking this into consideration, taking into thought the necessity of any one of man’s abstract concepts to require an equal opposing force to be described and understood, I’ll attempt to reveal a paradox in the application of the phrase all knowing to God:

At one point, God was the only being in existence. There was nothing else but God, nothing at all. Now, God was all knowing. It knew everything that there was to know, but, how could God be all knowing if there was nothing to not know? If there was not yet an opposing force to quantify and define knowledge?

This philosophy can also be applied to both the concepts of omnipotent and omnipresent.
