Sorry to be such a downer but

Logic is the fabric of the universe you could say. Therefore any God who created it is eminently logical and invented the rules of logic and made the universe run by them, and in His universe one and one always = two. That cartoon is just a strange misrepresentation. I don't know where people get such silly ideas.

Re: Saving Private Anybody

Sadly this picture has been presented many times as an explanation of something-from-nothing, and is total bullshit, as described.

We (sound theoretical physicists

) don't believe in "something-from-nothing", we just believe in "something" that may or may not be infinite in the past and/or future time direction.

BTW, Chiroptera, awesome cartoon

One for the classroom wall...

THe cartoon is silly (becase it relies on a silly definition of omnipotence). However your idea seems just as silly. How do you "invent" the rules of logic ?
