By the scriptures man can move mountains with faith alone. So there is no need for him to create a rock so heavy that he couldn’t pick up because with faith even a man could pick said rock up. Besides it is an impossible scenario asked with baited breath.

Simply, it's because 'G-d' is supposed to be all too powerful. This thought just came to me. Take it or leave it.

Disclaimer: I'm a theist but not of the Abrahamic faiths. I have minor biblical scholar and scriptural skills. Also I am not a scientific/legal or medical expert in any field. Beware of my Contagious Memes! & watch out that you don't get cut on my Occams razor.All of this is my personal conjecture and should not be considered the absolute or most definitive state of things as they really are. Use this information at your own risk! I accept no liability if your ideology comes crashing down around you with accompanying consequences!

Explanation: hmmm... The phenomena(i.e. text) of your post(i.e. noumena), specifically and I quote it here "Besides it is an impossible scenario asked with baited breath."...Well who better than God to be able to resolve this impossible scenario with an Omnipotent miracle!!! Oh and by "baited breath" are you implying that the verbal trap is valid and that one of its 2 possible states is actually true and therefor, with both states being paradoxical and by virtue of this "proof" that either A) the A PRIORI default states that build up this argument (what god says his powers are and what powers we attribute him... usually supported by supposedly canonical scriptures and fundamental implicatory logic and reasoning) are inherently False or B) the A PRIORI states that build up this argument hold water (ie water tight) and therefor "prove" credibly that GOD does not meet the requirements as laid out for and [supposedly] by GOD himself!

Personal Disclosure: Again I refer everybody to an Older thread with EXACTLY the same TOPIC Word for Word!!!
HERE.

And My Direct response to the question asked by both threads OP's. HERE.
