The litany of things you casually dismissed give us reason to entertain them. There is no parity between those claims and your own, making it a comparison between well evidenced explanatory propositions that can be assessed by logical means and "whetever benny can make up".
But hey, you might be right, that's a possibility. IT might be that the ideaverse/matrix/mind of god behaves -exactly- like the material universe in which all of that shit is grounded. At which point......what's the point, what's the difference?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
