:
You can but then I will quote C.S. Lewis: "When talking about omnipotence, referencing "a rock so heavy that God cannot lift it" is nonsense just as much as referencing "a square circle." So asking "Can God create a rock so heavy that even he cannot lift it?" is just as much nonsense as asking "Can God draw a square circle?" Therefore the question (and therefore the perceived paradox) is meaningless. Nonsense does not suddenly acquire sense and meaning with the addition of the two words, "God can" before it."
"This, however, is an argument against a different statement, namely, doing something that is not even defined. There is no such thing as a square circle, even conceptually. But the notion of something so heavy (or creating said thing) that one could not lift it, is not illogical."

I can quote Wikipedia just as easily as you can.
