Nah. Just because when we speak to one another we assume that the potential
for understanding exists does not mean that God guarantees this relation,
not does it imply an original godlike form. If you go to fly a kite, you
assume - through your actions - that flying a kite is possible. This does
not at all mean that God guarantees for you that your kite will fly.
