Can BOTH God AND God’s People Exert Power in Creation? Digging in to Thomas Oord’s New Book

Dan looks at an argument in Thomas Jay Oord’s new book: The Death of Omnipotence and Birth of Amipotence.

If it’s true that “To exist is to exert power,” what if we claim that God exerts all power? It seems to lead to the following disjunct:

either
(1) we do not exist
or
(2) we are God.

Dan thinks through some potential problems with this line of thought.
