Thomas Paine's book, Common Sense, supported independence of the North American colonies.
He said that it was common sense that the colonists should be free of their former masters because now they were a new country/continent and had to take care of themselves. The other options have nothing to do with this pamphlet.
Christianity professes to be a monotheistic religion, and most Christians consider Jesus of Nazareth to be not only divine but one and the same as God himself. And Jesus most certainly walked among human beings during his lifetime.
Islam considers Mohammed, who also lived on earth, to be the prophet of Allah, but Islam is more ambivalent about whether Mohammed was himself divine.
Judaism generally marks a clear separation between the human and divine worlds, but even Judaism has many stories of humans interacting with God on earth (Moses receiving the Ten Commandments, for instance).
So one answer to your question might be that the world's largest monotheistic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) do have examples of gods coexisting on earth with humans, but that these examples are rare and sources of great theological controversy.
In the BP Oil Spill, more than 200 million gallons of crude oil was pumped into the Gulf of Mexico for a total of 87 days, making it the biggest oil spill in U.S. history. 16,000 total miles of coastline have been affected, including the coasts of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida.
Hope this helps!
