Hmm...well, it *could* include those kinds of things, sure. But it still doesn't specifically mention that. "Immeasurably more" just seems to imply that the number of things God could do is a very large order of infinity. Or perhaps, that we just can't, as humans, actually measure the number (because we can't really *experiment* with God's capabilities). There are certainly incredibly huge orders of infinity already in what can be logically executed.

I was thinking more along the lines of specific descriptions such as: "And then the Lord drew upon the ground a perfect square, and this square had exactly three sides, and yet was perfectly round." (Yeah, sorry, I tend to always think of a math-related thing, first.)
