Religious thought experiment: The Pencil Test

Imagine a well-balanced pencil standing on end on a table. Perhaps the Joker put it there.
Is there necessarily some being in all of reality that would be able to topple this pencil, no matter where in all the universes we are located?

Religious people believe that such a being does exist.
If God is omnipotent, he certainly shouldn't have any trouble toppling this pencil. It's just that God doesn't want to do that you see. For the same reason that this entity doesn't want to communicate with mankind in any way.

God doesn't exist of course - but that's not all:
Even if infinitely many powerful beings do exist, none of them could topple this pencil if you performed the experiment. No matter how many times you repeated it.
You know in your heart this is true.

Scientology is fundamentally unable to address questions of this nature. Thought experiments are strictly forbidden. You are supposed to change the subject at once, and perhaps pay a penalty for asking questions instead of just following the written instructions.
To some extent, science also restrains itself from asking existential questions.

That is wrong, and it should change.
Reality does not resemble religion in any way. That doesn't mean we can't learn more about reality. In fact, we should try to do so.
Such an effort should actually replace religion.
