Personally, I think the real question should be whether God is really almighty and all powerful. Like in the paradox of the stone, if God can't lift a stone that he created, then God is not omnipotent. We don't know for sure whether God is really omnipotent or not, and there is no evidence to prove it either. Everything that is being stated about God right now comes from the opinion of people. Overall, we know nothing about the true power of God, so it is permissible to say that God might not have control over everything.
