   No, no.  The point is that a person would not bother to count tiny   
   parts of himself, and one supposes neither would god.  Would god be so   
   silly?  One never knows.  He did create this silly universe after all,   
   as part of himself.  Stop right there.  Do not get entangled in   
   conundrums.

   We need not consider such things, for the purpose of this discussion.
