All questions are hypotetic :)

1) Were flying with a cor with speed of light. What happends when we turn on lights?

2) Weve got an absolutley disruptive projectile that makes a hole intro anything on the world. Weve an absolutley bullet-proof armor that cant be destroyed with any projectile. What happend whet that absolutley disruptive butet hit that absolutley bullet-proof armor?

3) Can a human get drown intro the fountain of neverending life?

4) Can the Allmighty God make an boulder that cant he raise?

1: Repost, they would look normal to you, but scewed to everyone else.
2: Is contridicting, however im going to have to say the projectile would be destroyed as the armor was not specified to come from earth.
3: depends on your definition of neverending life. If it means that without direct unnatural physical interuption that the person will not die, then yes they can drown. if it means that nothing can kill them, then no they wont drown.
4: No. Almighty means almighty. He would have not limit to strenght. However if he proclaimed he would not lift the bolder, then I believe that he would have made a bolder he cant lift, according to his own law. Confused yet?

1) been done
2) Universals (Hardness, Beauty, Slimyness etc) are philosophical concepts, not actual items. Therefore, since every real thing is not a pure universal, making an inpenetrable shield is as impossible as making a 100% effective projectile.
3) Define said fountain. I say no, based on my assumptions as to what you're talking about, but...
4) As soon as He's done microwaving his burrito.

1) You cant have a car going at C unless it is a light car. So turning on the lights would... make the car brighter. Er. Yes.

2) The bullet proof armour breaks, and the projectile fails to distrupt it. On the grounds that if you are going to have one paradox, you may as well have two.

3) Yes, since you have drink the waters thereof, and if it only gets into your lungs, that doesnt count.

4) Yes. But he is still all powerful. Just goes to show he can also violate logic whenever he wants.

My turn my turn!

1) The light turns on and moves out at the speed of light.
2) Contradiction. If there is an unbreakable armor, then there cannot exist a bullet that can break anything. Likewise, if there's a bullet that can break anything, there cannot exist an armor that cannot be broken. So your scenario is impossible to create.
3) Yes, because I thought the fountain of neverending life just made you stop aging.
4) Yes, because God can do things logical and contradictory. God can do anything! He can lift rocks that he can't lift. He's God!

Right on...

1) The light is omni directional. An outside viewer likely won't see the object since it is moving too fast, unless the observer is at or approaching c. Observers inside the object will observe the light as normal light, since light is independent of its source; it is always travelling at c from any reference point.

2) The bullet would probably bounce off, sharing its momentum with the jacket which would be propelled in roughly the same direction that the bullet was originally travelling.

Think of it as an other worldly Newton's Cradle with no strings.

1.) If you were going at the speed of light, you'd likely be energy, so the car wouldn't be a car, and thus wouldn't have headlights.
2.) Maybe they'd just completely annihilate each other. But this is purely rhetorical - no such thing could really be made.
And come to think of it, it's a logical contradition.
If the projectile goes through anything, then it's impossible to have anything that can't be destroyed by a projectile.
If there's armor made that can't be destroyed by a projectile, it's impossible to have a projectile that can destroy anything.
3.) Since drowning generally causes death, you'd probably stop breathing, but you'd still be alive somehow, kept that way by the magic of the fountain.
4.) Allmighty - NOTHING that God can't do. So yes, he could also violate this logical paradox.
Of course, maybe he just made a rock that says "God: Hands off!!" So he just phones Satan and asks him to come over and help move a rock.

2) The bullet would probably bounce off, sharing its momentum with the jacket which would be propelled in roughly the same direction that the bullet was originally travelling.
Ah, but then the bullet would not be capable of penetrating anything, thus violating the condition of its existence.
