Erm... no, tiger. I was trying to help you to make a hypothetical that made some sort of sense. You're the one who brought up the ant scenario as a parallel to how humans might interact with God, but if the imaginary ant can't think and draw conclusions, then it isn't actually a valid comparison. You are the one who needs the ant to be sapient in order for your argument to even potentially carry any weight, not me.
