The concept of phone is that sound waves can be transferred over a physical medium, with mobiles we knew it can be transferred through thin air, with computers we combined the previous two; and were even able to add a live broadcast.
If humans can do this with these limited resources, why won't a God be able to listen to the sound waves I make; transferred through everything in between as a medium of movement? in other words; some day we might see exactly that this is so possible. The ancients made the mistake of underestimating the future and what it might bring; it's a trap I don't want to fall in.
Sorry, I just went through this again and apart from being a huge argument from ignorance, this is a grievous burden of proof shift attempt. It's not incumbent on me to show how or why this is not possible, or even probable. Nor does god, miracles, or whatever become the answer in the absence of any other.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
