text: I was taught from the Baltimore catechism that God was all powerful and could do all things.  I asked my teacher if God could create someone more powerful than Himself, because if He couldn't he could not do all things, but if He did, He would no longer be all powerful.  Needless to say I got in big trouble and almost didn't make my first communion.  This conundrum is an example of mutually exclusive absolutes, and there is more than one example of this problem in our definition of God.  The solution to it is not to limit God with human thinking.  God can be, and do, and evolve anyway God wants to.
