Might want to build those muscles first. This is just a Tommy Flanagan bit.
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!

Sure, I too grant things by immediately hedging them amongst mermaids and superheroes that I don't believe exist lol. But fair enough, he did grant it.

Sure, I lied. Now, where do you stand in terms of possibility then? Surely, you can grant that it's not impossible, right?

Sure, I lied. Do you imagine this was news to anyone, and what one wonders do you imagine this conveys about your beliefs, that it requires irrational arguments and duplicity.
That one is a rhetorical question. So your dishonest evasion is negated, a priori.

What are you asserting is not impossible, and why?

Well, there you go. I said from the outset this would be pointless if you can't even grant possibilty. So it is what it is.

Well, there you go. Indeed... 
Possibility is not granted a priori, it has to be demonstrated. Unless of course one adheres to the vapid notion of blind faith, but look who I'm telling...
Did you manage to come up with a single reason, from the "many reasons", you claimed to have for your blind faith that a deity exists?

Surely, you at least have a position on it's possiblity, no? Do you think it's possible or impossible?
