    “why can’t god create a boulder so heavy that even the can’t carry it?” even as a child trying to trick god with basic paradoxes sounded funny to me.

      The existence of those paradoxes could also mean that omnipotence in itself is simply impossible.

          Logic presupposes God. If God operates outside of time he can certainly operate outside of other frameworks we use to perceive the world. The human brain can fit in a bucket. Naturally understanding God is an impossibility.

          The epicurian paradox presupposes false premises.
