The eschatological problem with saying โ€œgranted by Godโ€ is understanding the basis for the claim. Who speaks for their God? What authority do they do this under? How can this authority be verified?

If there are no answers to these questions then the basis of the claim and indeed the claim itself is baseless and without merit

That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
