The only person in the world who is capable of drawing a perfect circle is Mr. X, even though he has never drawn a circle. Suddenly, you come across a drawing of a perfect circle. Who drew it?
The other reason your hypothetical fails is because a perfect circle could form due to natural phenomina, or chance. After all, this is a large world we are talking about, right?
My conclusion is that there is no reason to believe any of the dogmas of traditional theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true.
