3. Can God change the rules of logic? Can God make 2+2=5? How do you define omnipotence?

This may seem like a silly question, but it isn't. 2 + 2 can never be 5. Unless you change the meaning of the word "five" to mean 4, in which case 2 + 2 is still 4, but you are just calling 4 by another name. To quote Shakespeare, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." 4 apples are 4 apples, even if  you choose to call them 5 apples, 6 apples, or 25 apples. The semantics doesn't alter the reality.

If I have 2 apples in one hand and 2 apples in another hand is it possible for them, by the simple act of considering them together, to become in reality 5 apples? I doubt that anyone could seriously argue that they could (though someone, I'm sure, will do so just to prove me wrong). So we cannot simply say that God is omnipotent. We must say that God is omnipotent, but constrained by the rules of logic. So is logic an external truth created by God that he then had to obey? Or does logic exist independently of God?

If God must obey the simple rules of logic, perhaps he must also obey the rules of Science. It is arguable (and I would argue) that Science is merely an extension of logic. The laws of Science, in our experience (and what else do we have upon which to base our knowledge but our experience), are as immutable, as unbreakable as the laws of simple arithmetic. It is just as impossible for an apple I drop to float over the Earth, or for light to escape from a Black Hole, or, for example, for Jesus to have fed the 5,000 with his limited amount of bread and fish as it is for 2 + 2 to equal 5. So God becomes just a silent observer - a parody of a God, helpless to interfere in the world as a consequence of the laws he himself created. Enslaved by his own creation like Frankenstein by his monster. This view, that God merely created the Universe and after that left it to it's own devices, is known as Deism. It is the only logically consistent form of theism.

God is dead

"God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we, the murderers of all murderers, console ourselves? That which was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet possessed has bled to death under our knives - who will wipe this blood off us? With what water could we purify ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must not we ourselves become gods simply to seem worth of it? There has never been a greater deed - and whoever shall be born after us, for the sake of this deed he shall be part of a higher history than all history hitherto."
