God and the square circle

Humans are bound by logic and science.

God is not.

God is omnipotent and omniscient--all-powerful and all-knowing.  He knows every single point in everyone's life.  There are predictions in the early books of the Holy Bible that come true later on.  More specifically, the birth of his Son, Jesus Christ.

Jesus was born of a virgin.  How is this possible, if not by the supreme will of God?  It is beyond our own logic.  It is something we need to have faith in that it is true.

Back in college, I minored in philosophy.  In my Philosophy of Religion course, we discussed God and His properties: His omnipotence and omniscience.  These properties are beyond our understanding, but it is true.

Take the square circle.  It's impossible, right?  Beyond our own understanding.  It goes against the simple definition of both a square and a circle.

But is it impossible for God?

No.  God can create a square circle.  We, as humans, are incapable of comprehending it.  We need to have faith in its existence.
