The question:

Can God create a rock so large He couldn’t lift it?

My answer:

1. The question assumes the existence of God, when there is no data to prove or disprove that assumption. The analysis would have to stop here.
2. But I’ll go further, just for fun. The question does not define what a rock is or what type, density.
3. If a god did exist, there is no information available about what the extent of lifting strength is available. All written religious accounts are contradictory. “On the 7th day God rested” – why did he need to rest? Was maximum power achieved? The answer cannot be calculated.
4. Assuming there is a god and assuming by some accounts there infinite power by God, then the answer is yes, infinite power can lift infinite mass.

I will answer that the question is incompletely phrased with incomplete data.
