That does not follow. Newton's theory obeys to logic too.

You might be true, especially when he lost himself in the Garden of
its Mother. But frankly we are a long way to really just address such
question in arithmetic.
> This does not really limit his "power"
Even for questions less deep the "God has power" theory still
explains nothing unless it can explain exactly how that "power"
works, and if you understand all about that "power" then God Himself
becomes redundant, a useless fifth wheel. For example, if you say
that God created the first living organism on the Earth 4 billion
years ago that explains nothing unless you can explain how He did
it, and if you know that you don't need God.
I have already insist that God cannot be part of the explanation. We
agree on this.
