With the omniscience paradox, all one has to say is that logic is unchanging and external to the quality of being all-powerful and the trait can still remain. It's more refining a definition than leading to an outright rejection.<br /><br />@Andrew<br />If the hypothetical omniscient being spots the Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12460075520187803334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996559676441105299.post-60682994669472140742010-08-17T22:41:00.520+10:002010-08-17T22:41:00.520+10:00I'm not sure.

However, I don't think that answer really matters much.<br /><br />For omniscience, surely your argument would not work with an infinite being?
