Carl didn't know the dragon was invisible because Rick "neglected to mention" that, so Carl asked to see it.
It was literally the very first thing mentioned: "If God can do anything..."
The consensus, of which the entry from Stanford is pretty typical, is that "It does not follow that a maximally powerful being can bring about any state of affairs, since ... bringing about some such states of affairs is impossible." But this has been patiently explained to you already.
It follows when the premise is that anything can be done. Thanks for your patience, but I already explained that long before you came strutting in here with your invalid dragon analogy.
As already mentioned if, as you insist your being can really do the impossible then, along with other self-contradictory things, then it can be both invisible and visible at the same time a fact which, as already mentioned, destroys your argument. What further excuse this time would be offered for something impossible not being done, even by an invisible being?
My argument is that, given the premise that God can do anything, the answer to any question that begins with "Can God..." is "yes." What you're calling an excuse is actually the premise, and it was laid out in no uncertain terms right out of the gate. Maybe you missed that, too, but that's hard to believe considering how many times it's been pointed out to you.
In fact you would be accused of saying that werewolves and vampires really exist although necessary qualifications mean that one cannot see them in your garage. Alternatively if you say that they might exist in your garage, or you "neglect to mention it", once you do, you still have the burden of proof. I hope that helps.
It helps me to understand that you refuse the premise as stated. And that's fine and dandy. What's that you often say? Oh yeah... Evasion noted. And of course, the so very important LOL.
