[PAR] [TLE] Omnipotence paradox [SEP] The omnipotence paradox is a family of paradoxes that arise with some understandings of the term 'omnipotent'.  The paradox arises, for example, If one assumes that an omnipotent being has no limits and is capable of realizing any outcome, even logically contradictory ideas such as creating square circles.  A no-limits understanding of omnipotence such as this has been rejected by early theologians such as Thomas Aquinas to contemporary scholars in the philosophers of religion, such as Alvin Plantinga.  Atheological arguments based on the omnipotence paradox are sometimes described as evidence for atheism, though Christian theologians and philosophers, such as Norman Geisler and William Lane Craig point out that a no-limits understanding of 'omnipotence' is not relevant to orthodox Christian theology.  Other possible resolutions to the paradox hinge on the definition of omnipotence applied and the nature of God regarding this application and whether or not omnipotence is directed toward God himself or outward toward his external surroundings.
