The word "logistical" meaning "logistic" is long rare or obsolete
according to one dictionary.

The word "logistic" means (in this context) pertaining to reasoning,
logical.

It might be better to use the word "logical" in this context.

I think there is no paradox here, one simply concludes that God (if He
exists) does not have the power to do everything.
