If you don't want snark, don't give it. As for the premise, I'm not reading anything that isn't written in the title. The premise is that God can do anything. If you see something else, it is you who are reading things that aren't there. Need I also point out that this is not a debate about the existence of God? If anything, it's a debate about omnipotence, and I just happen to agree with your esteemed colleagues at Stanford. However, surely you noticed how they said "maximally powerful," as opposed to "omnipotent." That's clever.
Whether he will or won't is irrelevant to whether or not he can. (See thread title.)
Unlike Rick, I did not neglect to mention that. As I said, I already explained that long before you came strutting in here with your invalid dragon analogy.
I don't believe in the existence of werewolves and vampires, but I would still answer the question. But if it were you asking me - and not that it would do any good - I would be sure to include a disclaimer with every post to remind you that I do not believe in werewolves and vampires and that I'm just following the premise as stated.
These are not my exceptions, nor are they the OP's. They're yours. The premise of this discussion is that God can do anything.
So with all that out of the way...
If God can do anything, can he make a mistake?
Why the heck should he, though?
He’s not taking requests.
The real question seems to be directed at those that are theists and belief in this God thing. The op even added some typescript that God repented for making man and then made some big bold yet nothing but ambiguous statement that we ARE God's big mistake. Therefore, she has answered her own question, based around her own belief. What other answers did she expect to hear, when there are many that do not even understand what this God thing is she is referring too?
Yes, very convenient for God to not do what someone may want him too, when there doesn't have to be any proof of his existence within the mindset of the believer. And isn't prayer often a channel through to God for human requests. Why bother if he's not taking them?
