Heretics also promote a broad segue between life and death. Balinese savages, operating on a reverse paradigm, imagine that corpses are still alive but ailing. God on the other hand knew that David's young son, in whom David had all his hopes, was blasted to lingering agony hour upon hour, minute upon minute, each second worse than the one before, agony upon agony until at last God killed the thing.
II Samuel 12:18 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?
David had been carrying on with Bathsheba. By human standards perhaps David should have suffered. God has different standards. The baby was the one to die, die horribly, agony upon agony because of what its father had done.

Savages have a different standard. Instead of cadavers being divorced from life, they're half way along to death which at least preserves us from made-up documents nobody's ever seen amalgamating divers claims into a retroactive stage design. Unsuccessfully. Isaac without God would be forever a corpse. Corpses do not produce babies. QED.
