If such an entity exists, then such an entity can manifest itself in physical reality and provide proof of credentials. If such an entity exists and does not make itself known in a direct verifiable way, then such an entity's existence remains unverified.

Provide one valid example, in the real world, of two contradictory facts claiming different things about the same phenonmenon and both being true.

No creator -> no creation -> no firmament or things that creepeth and crawleth. So while religions set out to describe reality (and they all do) they are based on the supernatural. On ideas.
Agreed that claims can't be true without the existence of the divinity. Yes, there is a presupposition of the existence and that is where it is a logical fallacy.
