If you define "omnipotent" to mean "able to do anything which is not logically impossible" then the problem goes away. Nick's argument is that worrying that God cannot create a rock so heavy he cannot lift it is akin to worrying that God cannot create a square circle or similar, or worrying about what happens when an irresistable force meets an immoveable object. In all cases, the question contains a contradiction and is therefore meaningless.

The Problem of Evil is then solved by arguing that a universe in which there is no evil but we still have free will is a logical contradiction. God cannot create a logically contradictory universe and so can't be blamed for evil. A counter to this is to ask whether the inhabitents of heaven have free will. Discuss [20 marks].
