Some have raised the point that one must assume three things to be true:
 
−
1.  God is good
 
−
2.  God is all-powerful
 
−
3.  Job is a good man

God is good, and Job is definately a good man, the most devout and righteous of all.  If God were all-powerful, he could have prevented Satan from ever asking the question, or destroy Satan, or convince Satan without taking any action, or a host of other things.  Through logic, if one takes the story to be true, God to be good and Job to be fair, then God must not be all-powerful.
