God is all powerful, why would he labor when he could wave his hands and create an arch?

Who knows the mind of God? But perhaps to provide a test of who is obstinate in their thinking and who is not.

My question was simply designed to see if any level of statistical improbability would be able to shake the views of those who back that school of thought.

The answer so far has been a resounding, [I refuse to answer such questions]. I assume because they perceive the question to be trap. Very insecure thinking. I'm never afraid to answer a properly constructed hypothetical. Far from muddying the waters, hypotheticals remove the passion of the immediate question and apply the basic principles of the underlying logic to a different scenario. An argument that cannot survive a good hypothetical is a poor argument, or is simply being put forward by a poor arguer.

There you go again! Limiting God's power based on your limited human perspective. God does not labor.
