- Not a "lie"; maybe a mistake, if one makes an honest error.
- Whether God is an "impossible" thing depends upon how
- "God" is defined. How do you define "God"?

- No. And even if one postulates such a supernatural "creator",
- it is far from obvious which (if any) religious tradition
- best represents this "creator".
