>"Can God make a square circle?"

Interesting question. If God is omnipotent, in the sense of being able to manipulate the fundamental constants of physics (which is reasonable, given that he created our current universe), then you would probably be able to make it possible to create a quadrilateral with 4 "straight" lines and 4 90-degree angles had its perimeter equidistant from a certain point. (You could probably do this in the current universe, in places where space-time is extremely curved)

However creating such a square circle would no-doubt have side effects, such as obliterating any life that existed nearby.
