Apologies for the misuse of 'assume', I'll correct my statement: The problem is that the question, as valid as you consider it in theological terms, is predicated on the presupposition of god's existence.

It's like the question "What's the smell of blue?"; essentially nonsensical.
the OP presupposed God's existence in his question, I have no need to prove his existence to answer his question. if I ask "what color is big foot?" do you seriously think i'm looking for evidence of his existence?
