It has a flawed premise.
It assumes that the creation is separate from the creator.
Yeah I think this one assumes the popular view of the Abrahamic god.

We are all equally powerful in our minds.The relevance would be the difference between me creating something in my mind or in my garage.
Anything is possible in the mind of God but my garage has limits.
More importantly it assumes god is bound by logic, reason, physics, etc.Yeah I think this one assumes the popular view of the Abrahamic god.

Well if there where a god not bound by such things, then how could we even know it exists?

From philosophy class years ago...
1. God is all powerful. There is nothing God can't do.
2. God can make a mountain so heavy that He can't lift it.
3. Therefore, God is not all powerful because He can't lift that mountain.

Sure but God can unmake the mountain and wipe your memory that it ever existed.
That one's been around about 100 years, I think! The actual fallacy is that the premises (1 and 2) contradict one another.1. God is all powerful. There is nothing God can't do.
2. God can make a mountain so heavy that He can't lift it.
3. Therefore, God is not all powerful because He can't lift that mountain.
"the only meaningful sense"But they were trying to make a point about the idea of omnipotence. For example, could God draw a three-sided square and paint it red and green all over? The usual answer is no, because the only meaningful sense of "omnipotent" is "able to do anything that's logically possible".
Isn't everything?"the only meaningful sense"
That is debatable.

I actually wish the Kenyan Muslim could be President for another term.
Stupid 22nd Amendment.
