Incidentally, it has not escaped the notice of logi-cians that omniscience and omnipotence are mutually incompatible. IfGod is omniscient, he must already know how he is going to interveneto change the course of history using his omnipotence. But that meanshe can't change his mind about his intervention, which means he is notomnipotent. Karen Owens has captured this witty little paradox inequally engaging verse: Can omniscient God, who Knows the future, find The omnipotence to Change His future mind?
