Editing Omnipotence (section)

==Uncertainty==
Trying to develop a theory to explain, assign or reject omnipotence on grounds of logic has little merit, since being omnipotent, in a Cartesian sense, would mean the omnipotent being is above logic, a view supported by [[René Descartes]].<ref name="rene">{{cite web|url=http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/descartes-ontological/ |title=Descartes' Ontological Argument |publisher=Plato.stanford.edu |access-date=2011-04-07}}</ref> He issues this idea in his ''[[Meditations on First Philosophy]]''. This view is called universal possibilism.<ref>{{cite web|last=Craig|first=William Lane|title=Logical Truth and Omnipotence|url=http://www.reasonablefaith.org/logical-truth-and-omnipotence|access-date=20 May 2014|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140520215755/http://www.reasonablefaith.org/logical-truth-and-omnipotence|archive-date=20 May 2014}}</ref>

According to [[Hindu philosophy]] the essence of [[Brahman]] can never be understood or known since Brahman is beyond both existence and non-existence, transcending and including time, causation and space, and thus can never be known in the same material sense as one traditionally "understands" a given concept or object.<ref name="gita">''brahmano hi pratisthaham'', [[Bhagavad Gita]] 14.27</ref>
