tomgod Vs dora --- a debate in logistics : A- ^) z6 W$ ~2 \* j : b: u o$ a- R4 G% mdora believes: 上帝无所不能, while tomgod does not. ! j# |* E& E* y0 M9 z( Y( [
Then tomgod tried to overthrow dora's conclusion (上帝无所不能) by finding one thing that 上帝 can not do. tomgod asked dora a tricky question (a puzzle): & N8 E! z3 K7 v2 X* Q* m. s"上帝能否造一块他(她/它)都不能举起的石头????" 8 j1 d8 W8 |* g% w+ ^8 f
