Let's simplify this and just call it a "question:"

Question: Can God make a rock so heavy He can't lift it?
Answer: Yes.

True, but while acknowledging that, we all have lives to lead in societies built on and around reified mental constructs. I think the important thing is to recognise the benefits and problems with these intuitive and convenient fictions. Some, like free will, have an emotional dark side in society.

So your post
*waves*
Non-christian evolutionist of 25 years who became a Christian and then a creationist. Trust me we exist.
was misleading. You came to creationism due to a religious a priori belief. Nice to have seen this settled.

Man is made up of body, soul, and spirit.

The spirit is fed by the word of God and grows in faith.

Roman 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

What you call a "religious a priori belief" is, in fact, the Holy Spirit enlightening her.

By flowering, we self-actualize.
The goal of molecular structures is to plant the seeds of synchronicity rather than selfishness. Consciousness consists of supercharged waveforms of quantum energy. “Quantum” means an ennobling of the high-frequency.
The complexity of the present time seems to demand an ennobling of our auras if we are going to survive.
Wisdom is the knowledge of chi, and of us. The nexus is beaming with ultrasonic energy. Today, science tells us that the essence of nature is chi.


Nothing is impossible. We exist as sub-atomic particles. Nature is a constant.

To traverse the journey is to become one with it. Life-force requires exploration. This life is nothing short of a refining vector of unlimited faith.

If you have never experienced this paradigm shift on a cosmic scale, it can be difficult to exist.
We must ground ourselves and recreate others. The grid is approaching a tipping point. This vision quest never ends.

Do you believe this New Age stuff? if not, mind if I don't either?

Amen!
Ah believe it all!
Ahm a believer now!
Ah've seen the light!
Chi is taught as universal energy that can be focused through our chakras.

It's demonic subterfuge.

Call it what you like it's still a paradox.

Question: Can God make a rock so heavy He can't lift it?
Answer: Yes.
Looks like you've chosen option 2 (accept that the paradox is nonsense) or perhaps God is not omnipotent.

.. and do you remember this Gengis?:
along with my 'Herbert' .. therewith are two glorious demonstrations of human thinking!
Of which you claim to be a fan of, correct?

Is that how you describe your fans?

What I have objective evidence of, is that it takes a human thinking mind for them (and you) to describe their perceptions of me .. (and my mind, in order to describe my perceptions of them). Thinking that they exist independently (eg: as 'fans') from any of those minds, is just a belief.
