Nope, haven't heard of it, care to elaborate?
I don't have to propose anything at all, and I'm not sure that the model of probability actually applies to a god - why would it? It's based upon our reality, our world, our laws..all things which we assume do not have any sort of primacy or hold over this god character. In any case, whether or not somethings seems impossible to you or I is fairly inconsequential, the operative here is what you would feel comfortable in concluding was impossible -for your god-. That you seem to feel that -your imagination- is a sort of dowsing rod for determining this, well...that's beyond the pale bud.
