    It all depends how the all powerful being felt at the time, if he wanted to make something that he couldn't lift then he would be able to create something that he couldn't lift, if he wanted to lift it he could lift it proving he can do anything he wanted at any time, being able to do both things at once may be something that we can't comprehend and the answer probably is 42, as was previously suggested, or yes.

    If one's power is infinate, then if a rock were to be created by that one, it would have a power of infinity +1, which is undefined- so as the Christian said, we cannot comprehend it.

    Lets be more mathematically precise here. The being has a power on the order of aleph-0, and the rock on the order of aleph-1. Therefore, no one-to-one onto mapping exists between the being and the rock, and the rock wins!

    Back to my math book before I get shot.
    The word rap as it applies to music is the result of a peculiar phonological rule which has stripped the word of its initial voiceless velar stop.

    The answer's pretty simple.

    Just take the lim of Rock as God->Infiinty. Duh.
