Theists ascribe different definitions (and qualities) to the belief of a supreme being (God). Being all powerful is one term that is universally accepted amongst theists and deists. However, this term is subject to further discussion. What do they imply in a philosophical or scientific sense when they state 'all powerful'? Are they implying that God's supreme powers are limited to the physical laws of the universe or can even transgress beyond those limitations. In essence these are philosophical thesis' and at present are subject to further study/research consistent with the principles of the scientific method and logical reasoning.
