What is the nature of God?

If God exists, then God is, by definition, maximally benevolent (all-good), maximally knowledgeable (all-knowing), maximally powerful (all-powerful), and eternal. <br><br>God is all-good. He is infinitely good. He cannot be evil. Therefore, he cannot will evil. If he cannot will evil, then he cannot create evil. If he cannot create evil, then there should be no evil. There is evil, so there is no God.<br><br>God is all-knowing. He possesses all knowledge. If he possesses all knowledge, then he knows exactly what will happen at any given time. This means that he predetermined every event. If he predetermined every event, then he has no free will. If he cannot have free will, then he is not truly all-powerful. If he is not truly all-powerful, then he is not God.<br><br>God is all-powerful. This means that he can do anything. Anything includes logical contradictions. Therefore, God should be able to make a burrito so big that even he cannot finish it. But if he cannot finish it, then he is not all-powerful. And if he can finish it, then it is not so big that he cannot finish it. If he cannot make a burrito so big that he cannot finish it, then he is not all-powerful. So he is not all-powerful, so he is not God.<br><br>God is eternal. If he is eternal, then he has no beginning and end. If he has no beginning and end, then he does not exist in time. If he exists outside of time, then he cannot intersect with time. But if he cannot intersect with time, then he cannot interact with temporal beings (us humans).<br><br>No God can be all-powerful, all-knowing, all-benevolent, and exist as an eternal being without creating a paradox or logical contradiction. <br><br>Discussion?<br><br>edit: this should be a philosophy post! i am trying to get to the bottom of these claims. <br>- are they true? (if so, then there is no God)<br>- are they false? (if so, why? where is the hole in the argument?)<br><br>i am not trying to provoke.
