They are both able and willing to respond, but they haven't got around to doing it yet. You need to give Spock a line like "either they have responded or they haven't" in order to get a real truism, in which case Captain Kirk could be reasonably excused for hitting him, I would think.  Even then, there would be the problem of them possibly being in the process of responding while he was speaking.
Bertot writes: I cant believe anyone is so so silly as not know we are actually speaking about the only two possibile alternatives to the existence of things. An eternal God or the eternality of matter itself. You cannot think or contrive another possibility that does not fall within the two, or is a combination of the two. We can't? How about seven eternal Goddesses? Or an eternal succession of non-eternal Gods, each creating another before becoming non-existent? Or an eternal set of dimensions in which matter is formed from nothing, or from some unknown entity, or from anti-matter, and universes are created? There are an infinite number of possibilities in such an unknown area.
