We are stuck with an answer based on faith alone - which is greater, God's capacity to create or God's capacity to consume. No definitive answer from me on this issue.

Hmmmmm, anyway, how about if we assume Mai Tais exist only on earth. There is no proof of Mai Tai outside our small blue marble, after all. Even if we gave God all the rum and other Mai Tai ingredients on the planet, it would still seem like Earth's total production capacity would be very small, on a God scale. So, unless God wants to change the laws of matter and physics on the fly, there would be not Mai Tai too great for him. To satisfy God, it would require amounts of rum so vast, that the rum bottle would have to be visible in the night sky! Based on my keen observation of the night sky - there is no supply of rum great enough to satisfy God. Given several scenarios, I would vote that God cannot make a Mai Tai so big that he cannot consume it. :wink: [ Edited by: Geeky Tiki on 2004-12-15 12:44 ]

Excellent question!
