However, my point was a play on words. You can't take an infinite amount of time and reach something waiting at the end of it. There is no end to eternity. I also think omnipotence is impossible, partly because it involves too many contradictions. If you were infinitely powerful, would you be able to make it where nobody was ever infinitely powerful? If you achieved that, how would it be that you achieved it? If you tried to make another person lose his infinite power while he tried to make it where he keeps his infinite power, what would happen? And the classic theological point... Would you be able to make a rock so heavy you can't lift it? Etc.
