Hi,
I first heard "Can god make a rock so big he can't move it" when I was in elementary school. I was impressed at the time, but I've learned a lot since then. Many books have been devoted to the problem. The theologians have come to many conclusions. Here is a pretty typical example.
Believe me, that is a minor quibble in the whole discussion of the existence of god. Many more profound arguments are available. A very good web site with well reasoned arguments is here. Don't let the title fool you, there is much more on that site than just a discussion of Pascal's Wager.
