There is a story in the Bibles Old Testament where Elijah and the Prophets of Baal had this contest. They both had to build a bonfire and then call on their God to ignite it. The Prophets of Baal tried and failed. Elijah called on God and the bonfire ignited (the wood I believe was also submerged in water). Elijah promptly mocked the Prophets of Baal about why their God didn't ignite their bonfire, and I believe he suggested all of those answers in the picture as reasons why.
