Summary 

Can God create a rock he can't lift?

It is expressed in the form of a question: Can an all-powerful being create a stone so heavy that he cannot lift it? If he cannot create such a stone, then he is not almighty. If he can, then, since he won't be able to lift the created stone, it's because he's not omnipotent
