On the impossibility of God

Please feel free to add your own.

Is God possible?

God exists outside of space and time: The definition of existence is to occupy space for some amount of time.
God can do anything: God can create a universe that does not need God to create it.
God existed forever, when did he create the universe?
God knows everything, yet man has freewill.
God created a universe of billions of galaxies just so he could give man an obscure planet in one of the more insignificant ones.
God is truth, but he tells everybody he speaks to something different.
God knows the way things are, but prayer will change it.
God is good, but he created evil.
God is love, but he created hell.
God cures disease, but doesn’t replace body parts.

Just how impossible does something have to be before you won’t believe it?

Comment by Nelson on December 1, 2009 at 5:01am: i wouldn't say that gods are impossible necessarily, generally- a god could be defined in such a way that it isn't impossible per say- it's just that there's no evidence for a god's existence. now whether or not the god of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is impossible is another thing altogether. it seems to me there are good arguments for that particular god being impossible, so conceived.

if anyone's interested, a good treatment of those arguments can be found in Nicholas Everitt's The Non-Existence of God.
