You have stated that one can whittle down the list of gods if one uses a little reason, why are you unable to provide that reason when asked? Why must we whittle the list down to creator gods only (a subset of god contained within every pantheon btw, you eliminate no competing faith by eliminating the non creator god subset). Perhaps god simply stumbled upon this show already in motion. How can you know that this is not the case? More claims to knowledge made from a position of ignorance. Your claims become yet more complicated. I notice you believe that wodan is mythical, but why is your own argument fed back to you insufficient when dealing with wodan, but right on the mark for your own god? Special rules for your pet fairy right?
I can whittle down gods that are plainly false by referencing what we do know about ourselves and the cosmos Lucent. That leaves yours out of the party. The origins story is myth, the histories are myth, and the very notion of prophecy or any narrative built upon the other two as a part of the prophetic cycle are myth as well. Perhaps some god, definitively not the god you describe. How about that for whittling down gods with a little reason?
(see, that's how that's done. simple explanations for your stance on an issue that can stand up to scrutiny)
