Another such response is that by definition an omnipotent being is set free from the grip of what is logically possible. An omnipotent being therefore would not be subject to what is logically possible. In this sense, an omnipotent being could create a rock that even itself could not lift, then lift it. An omnipotent being could also not exist and exist at the same time at any time. A being with knowledge of the concept of omnipotence could then see that omnipotence is by no way limited by logic.
Being omnipotent is to live without limits so by definition as humans we can not begin to understand the existence of such an entity. It could by all estimates create, destroy and create with it thoughts. Imagine I dream Of Genie with the capacity to imagine infinite possibilities. To be omnipotent is to exist at all times in all places. The very word is a misnomer. how can we know what it is to be this powerful without understanding what all powerful really is.
A wonderful example of the principle that whenever you decide to simply start making shite up, you have the right to make up whatever shite you please.
ADD: And how, exactly, do you suppose that "deities" relate to the science of astronomy?
Which is why your question should be in philosophy and not Science.
No.
