Actually..I "mustn't"...that's what it means for something to be a non sequitur. It doesn't matter whether or not it's true, it won't lead to the desired conclusion. Pretty sure this has already been discussed, but lemme give you a great example.
John is a human, therefore john likes spinach flavored ice cream.
Do I really have to establish that john isn't human to doubt whether or not he likes spinach flavored icecream, or..even more pedantically..do I have to accept that even if he does, it's because he's human?
In the same vein, regardless of whether or not your position on human determination is true..it won't actually establish that god was unfamiliar with something. If you want to establish that...and you do because that's the turn of your argument..no amount of reasserting your position on human determination will be capable of doing that..and no one has any responsibility to establish the truth or falsehood of that irrelevance. In this case it's fairly easy to show that your assertion regarding human determination is not true as you've stated it. It's just as easy, unfortunately, to show that the character in magic book shares your dim view of the ability of law when it comes to the same.
That's why we had to tie a jew to a post and kill him, member?
