If I were Muslim, I’d say to put no pictations of Allah. Also, maybe He also tried to get into the Book for that too. Sorry if I’m sounding anti-Islamic, Muslim readers, on the second note.
Even if such a category existed, they’d need to verify the universe exists, and was made by god. So, god would have to make a whole new universe as proof he can actually do it.

“That Al Gore claimed to have invented the Internet has got to be the most successful flat-out lie since, well, the last one.”
First Monday, Richard Wiggins, October 2000
“This article explores how the perception arose that Gore in essence padded his resume by claiming to have invented the Internet. We will then explore Gore’s actual record, in particular as a U.S. Senator in the late 1980s, as an advocate for high-speed national networking. Finally we will examine this case as an example of the trivialization of discourse and debate in American politics.”
Chip Heath & Jonathan Bendor, Stanford University, March 10, 2003
“… we study an example where Al Gore was falsely attributed with saying that he “invented the internet.” We show that the false version of Gore’s statement dominated the true one in mainstream political discourse by a wide margin. This is a clear failure in the marketplace of ideas, which we document in detail.”
“Why didn’t Blitzer challenge Gore’s remark? Why didn’t journalists comment originally? Easy. They didn’t do so because what Gore had said wasn’t that far off–until, with the help of credulous scribes, Dick Armey reinvented the story.”
If that’s not enough, there’s plenty more. A Republican named Dick Armey (the House Majority Leader then) is the man most responsible for this distortion.
