The rocks will grow limbs and turn into golems. I can only hope.

Only if he is not all-powerful.

A better question is whether jorb or loftar can lift a rock.

Only place I have seen rocks respawn is in the starter area I was at. I have seen no such rock come back since i left that place.

I've had one too. I mined one out, and a few days later a new one was here

Of course
Only if he is not all-powerful. Otherwise, the question makes no sense, because you'd be asking "is an all-powerful being powerless in some area?".

I've never seen rocks respawn - not that I distrust anyone who has.

You think you can lock an all-powerfull being, which has created you and the whole world, in a trap of logic conceived by your mind? God can create a rock that he cannot lift. And then would lift it. And then would fiddle with your brain and make you think it's obvious.

No, this argument is fallacious. Being all-powerful does not imply being able to act contrary to ones nature, and even God can only act in accordance with His. The alternative is ontological irrationality, which is meaningless, and the very antithesis of the Logos of Christian theology.

If he is all-powerful why is he power-limited by his nature?
