   Must be nice to be omniscient. Not only do apparently   
   have a complete understanding of what is observable and what is   
   not, (presumably encompassing the observational powers of   
   every single human being alive), but you also seem to have access   
   to the knowledge of exactly what there is in the world for   
   them to observe!   
      
   Are you a god? Or perhaps a toad stoned on mushrooms, sitting on a   
   riverbank croaking to the world how it is god?   
      
   Personally, I would bet on the stoned toad option.

   P.S. Don't forget what happened to the toad now.   
      
   P.P.S. In case you don't know the story, & I'm sure you don't,   
           since all the other indicators in your post point to   
           illiteracy, I will tell you that once the toad came   
           down from the mushrooms, it was so ashamed of having   
           proclaimed itself god that it crawled into a hole in the   
           riverbank & died, rather than haveing to face anyone. All   
           you have to do is admit you are wrong.
