Are there any philosophical statements that are unanswerable in logical terms?
>eg Can God create a fire so big not even he could put it out

Any meme question like that; what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. The answer is that the premise makes no sense.

The answer is simple : omnipotence is impossible.

Shit I meant to reply to the OP
All philosophical arguments have logical form, but it is not solely the logical form that's important. Most arguments power comes more from guiding our intuition. A computer could not make Cogito argument.

A modern* computer could not make the Cogito argument.

that's only a logical paradox if you add the premise that god is omnipotent. Anyway google paradoxes, there are a fucking million of them. The most famous:
liar paradox:
A: sentence B is false
B: sentence A is true
also russell's paradox, e.g.:
The barber shaves everyone who doesn't shave themselves. Does the barber shave himself?
curry's paradox is a pretty interesting, lesser known one.

debatable. sometimes the cogito is given logical form.
Ta (a thinks)
therefore
Exists(x)(Tx)
if you interpret the existential quantifier as existence (as opposed to using existence as a predicate, as in the ontological argument) then this is the cogito... though without the first-personal nature of it. You could do something there with indexical logic.

Omnipotence includes the ability to rewrite the rules of logic, therefore paradoxes do not apply.

dont blame god on the failures of semantics of language
>>1162273
Assuming the god in question is omnipotent then yes he can create fire even he can't put out
But he can also put that fire out while sucking words out of lava
Literally
These stupid questions are created bu people that have no idea what omnipotence means
Protip: Omni means all

Any statement on ethics, values and morality cannot operate with pure logic.

The barber shaves everyone who doesn't shave themselves. Does the barber shave himself?
No, it's the man who has the profession of the barber that shaves himself, the self that does it, not the job.
