[Bruce Almighty] Could Bruce have remained god?

Ok so Bruce learnt his lesson and handed back the powers. But what would have happened if Bruce was less inclined to do that? God says he gave him *all* of his powers, does this but Bruce on par with God? Could he have kept the powers even against God's will?

No.  God never actually gave Bruce all his powers.  God used his own powers in a way that it appeared to Bruce that HE was doing everything.  Basically, Bruce wanted a monkey to appear, so God made a monkey appear in exactly the way Bruce intended.
