    View source passageHide passage
    Omnipotence is maximal power. Maximal greatness (or perfection) includes omnipotence. According to traditional Western theism, God is maximally great (or perfect), and therefore is omnipotent. Omnipotence seems puzzling, even paradoxical, to many philosophers. They wonder, for example, whether God can create a spherical cube, or make a stone so massive that he cannot move it. Is there a consistent analysis of omnipotence? What are the implications of such an analysis for the nature of God?
    Extraction notes

    Validity: The passage explicitly states that God is maximally great, that maximal greatness includes omnipotence, and therefore God is omnipotent, making this argument directly present in the source.

    Confidence: Straightforward deductive argument explicitly stated in the text.
