No need to wonder. They are capable of ever saying only one thing regardless of the situation they confront. A more primitive form of mental process than intelligence is conditional reflex. Yet even so base a function as conditional reflect is beyond the power of the theist mind. Their only reflex - "Goddidit" - is totally non-response to the condition.
They merit not even the honor of being a called nonsentient animal. Their powers are about the same as that of an inanimate worn old obsolete phonograph records etched with the bronze age chants of "goddidit".
