I argue against omnipotent simply because "all power" sounds to me like the designer could negotiate with and even defy the laws of nature. Since I can't think of any physical evidence of the laws of nature being defied, I suggested that the designer is confined within the allowances of those laws, at least in relation to the physical processes of this universe. Thus, the designer would not be omnipotent.
I disagree, he is most definitely omnipotent and omniscient, that is almighty and all-knowing.
the bible is full of examples of God defying the natural laws and his ability to fortell the future shows he is all knowing.
You ... prepared the luminary, even the sun. (Psalm 74:16)
The sun itself is an indication of the power of God.
At its core, the sun is about 27,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit [15,000,000C]. Just a pinhead-sized piece of the sun’s core on the earth could kill use instantly! Every second, the sun emits energy equivalent to the explosion of many hundreds of millions of nuclear bombs... God created it, and keeps it alight...thats power beyond out imagination.
some of the miracles where he has defied natural laws are:
making the sun stand still
sending fire from the sky
parting the waters to allow people thru
Jesus walking on water
he most certainly is able to defy his own laws...and of course he could, if he created them.
