God is all powerful according to the bible.
Therefore God COULD if he chose, remove the suit of spades and yet STILL have 52 cards. Can't wrap your monkey brain around it? Doesn't matter, God is ALL powerful. Therefore he can brake and remake the laws of physics and reality at will.
Obviously we don't care about solitaire. This is just an example. The real question is can God fix evil, without destroying man's free will. That is always the justification I get from the religious when talking about this stuff. He could end evil, but it would eliminate free will...
But if he truly were all powerful he could have ended evil while still preserving free will. Or is that something God is incapable of? So we are forced to conclude that God is either incapable of ending evil, or unwilling. I ask you, what righteous being would willing allow such suffering as we see in the world today had they the power to prevent it?
At this point not one Christian I have ever debated, which has to be dozens at this point, has been able to give me a straight answer. Not one.
Alternatively you can boil this question down how the Simpsons did. "Can god microwave a burrito too hot for Him to eat?" This paradox will also BSOD any Christian or your money back.
