the premise is that anything can [sic] be done. Thanks for your patience, but I already explained that long before you came strutting in here with your invalid dragon analogy.
My argument is that, given the premise that God can do anything, the answer to any question that begins with "Can God..." is "yes." What you're calling an excuse is actually the premise, and it was laid out in no uncertain terms right out of the gate. Maybe you missed that, too, but that's hard to believe considering how many times it's been pointed out to you.
In short, what you are so taken with here is a duff idea, one inevitably propped up by with logic-busting special pleading ('... so a triangle can have four sides if ever God wills it' 'God can lift rocks that He made that are unliftable' etc). I can't falsify such assertions, other with logic, which of course is rendered useless by qualifying a supreme being as one which, being special, of course can do the illogically incoherent, can't it now?
It helps me to understand that you refuse the premise as stated. And that's fine and dandy. What's that you often say? Oh yeah... Evasion noted.
It's not my premise. I am not the OP. I say omniscience doesn't include the ability to know things that can't be known, and omnipotence doesn't include things that can't be done. But the OP's premise (ie, the conditional you acknowledge) does not exclude intrinsic impossibilities. Therefore, if God can do anything, then there's nothing he can't do. It doesn't destroy my argument to point out that he could be both visible and invisible simultaneously given the premise as stated - it bolsters it.
