It's not for impossibility or incongruency that believers have failed to do so, that's just not the kind of ghost that tickles their god bone. The small minded smiting types get all the groupies nowadays. Hmn, wonder why that might be.
But that's not indicated in the axiom whatsoever. It's a complete appeal to authority. Literally substitute anything else in place of god-can anyone honestly expect results that aren't catastrophic? Yet that's what we have in abundance.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
