The Concept of God: Is an Omnipotent and Omniscient Being Possible? (Metaphysics of God Episode 1)

An overview of the concept of God as well as discussion of some potential inconsistencies/contradictions in this idea. The Abrahamic, monotheistic, conception of God is typically understood to have the following 4 attributes: 1. Omnipotence: Perfect power. 2. Omniscience: Perfect knowledge. 3. Omnibenevolence: Perfectly good. 4. An eternal or everlasting relationship with time. However, some argue that these attributes are logically inconsistent. For example, the problem of the stone asks: Could God create a stone so heavy He couldn't lift it? This challenges the coherence of omnipotence because either option suggests there's something God can't do. The Euthyphro dilemma asks: Are things good because God says they're good, or does God say to do good things because they're good? If God just follows moral laws, this challenges God's omnipotence. But if God creates moral laws, then this challenges God's omnibenevolence, making it arbitrary or meaningless. There's also the question of how human beings can have free will if God's omniscience means He already knows our future actions before we do them.
