Yes! Correctly speak If the Allah is all-powerful - he should be able create all. But as people trust it and anything else around does not occur, and following conclusions it is possible to do.

Salam peecha85
You're in bold
If Allah is almighty- he should be able to create everything.
Check the dictionary.
almighty
Adjective
1. having power over everything
2. Informal very great:
Almighty does not mean:able to create everything. In fact, Allah has never claimed in the Quran that He can do anything/everything. Instead Allah says in numerous places in Quran.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
 Allah hath power over all things.
If he is almighty, can he create stone he can not lift? If he can not create stone he is not able to lift- he can not be almighty. If he can create that kind of stone, but he can not lift it- Allah is also not almighty...

That's my clue for you...

Again, check the meaning of almighty. It does not mean being able to create a stone one cannot lift. Almighty simply refers to a being who has power over all things. There are a number of things God cannot do. God cannot create another God. The Uncreated cannot create another Uncreated (That is the argument we use to prove that God cannot create Jesus as God). God cannot create something He cannot destroy. Instead in Islam, God has power over all things.
That's my clue to you...
Peace

That is a ridiculous "atheist" childs riddle. Which tells me you need a clue. God is greater than His Creation and is unlike His Creation. So why would God necessarily Create creation equal to Himself?
A feeling of discouragement when you slip up is a sure sign that you put your faith in deeds. -Ibn 'Ata'llah
