The classical problem of squaring a circle is impossible in euclidian spaces. If you change the space, you change the problem.

Not necessarily. People conceived of airplanes centuries ago, without knowing how to make them. And still, no one can deny that it's thanks to their wild dreams and ambitions that we have airplanes today.
So someone will make allah for you because you have dreams and ambitions of being slave to allah and this “owning” atheists?
