I don't believe the premise. No, I don't agree.

Plus, what does 'logically impossible' mean? It just means reason
doesn't dictate omnipotence. By definition this would have to be so, no?

What does it mean if God is not omnipotent? Not much. If the only
thing God can't do is create a situation he cannot resolve I don't see
what difference that makes in the long run. Say God MUST obey logic,
for the sake of argument only. Where are you going with this? Tell me
why you think that should matter to me...
