Why a god who notices humanity can’t exist

Okay, so you agree that there can be a "spoofed" call, but how do you know that the sheep can't hear it?

(Hint: don't say, "Because they're His sheep," because that's just a circular argument.)

What do you mean by the sheep can't hear it. The analogy is rather simple, you have pet dog. You whistle then it comes to you. What's that to do with a spoofed call?

The whole point is not how your dog shall react by itself. It's how you make your dog react. You are a human with intelligence, you can make a whistle to the effect that only your pet dog will give a correct reaction. Right?

Such that people around will see that you have a good and obedient pet dog. And that it's legitimately your choice to keep it forever.

Okay, let's go with that for a moment.

You whistle at your dog. Then, some other creature whistles in a way that sounds very close to your own. Which one does your dog go to?

That only means you are stupid enough to use a creature whistle. God on the other hand has no equal intelligence to compete with. Gee.

I don't even see how does it make any sense for a human to confuse himself by making a creature sound. He should have the intelligence to make a unique sound that other low intelligent animals won't be able to resemble. Got that?! Gee!

There is no more legitimacy to that claim than an atheist's claim that no god exists at all. "Gee" indeed.

Even if it's true that no being rivals God's intellect, that fact alone would breed arrogance. And arrogance breeds mistakes. :)

Even if a human uses an artificial dog whistle, my argument still stands. Some other human (or entity) can still make a similar sound. (How about that?)

If you are His sheep, you will have the faith demanded by the Bible. Logically the only God which is capable of bring forward a message is the Christian God. Who else ever did this? No one. Read my post.

His sheep will recognize His voice.

I can actually tell you more about how to identify a true God logically. However, God doesn't even need to rely on that to get all His sheep. His sheep somehow will recognize His voice to be picked up. This has something to do with the term "pre-destination".
