Hidden premise --- God is restricted to writing history and is
precluded from such literary forms as the short story, outrageous
overstatement, myth, . . .  Then there's the matter of literary
forms that are NOT current today, such as the apocalyptic form.

I'd rather not be too hasty in restricting what literary output
might come from the originator of the duck-billed platypus, the
giraffe, and human sexuality.
