Did Descartes believe in omnipotence?

Descartes famously answered ‘yes’. That is, Descartes thought an omnipotent being could do literally anything at all – including making a stone heavier than he can lift, and lifting it and other apparently impossible things, such as creating oneself.

The premise is illogical and any conclusions in support of such can only express the deficiency in one’s reasoning.
