God may only be just an ordinary person in HIS own universe, but is omnipotent in OUR universe.
Let's say I created a virtual universe running inside a computer with virtual beings in it (think NPCs in an RPG game). That makes me the creator of this virtual universe and makes me the God of those virtual beings.
They are argueing all day if the god can create a rock so heavy that he can not lift it.
Of course I can create a rock as heavy as I want in the virtual universe. But in my own universe, nope...
So if there's a god, he may just be an ordinary being in his own universe.
