Merely being able to imagine something doesn't make it true.

No, but it proves by existance that what you said couldn't have
happened:

of each single pair to show the genetic diversity seen in the modern

have happened, so belief in the existence of such a being is
delusional.

could actually have happened, the way I showed you, and an infinite
number of other ways.

I'm not trying to prove anything else that your proof of this belief
being delusional is wrong.


You too need badly to read Dawkins' _The God Delusion_; this will also
