It starts with the recognition that there is something rather than nothing. Next is the observation that some things that exist could possibly not exist. If it was possible for all things to not exist then it could be that they could all simultaneously not exist. Then there would be nothing. Nothing comes from nothing so if at any prior moment there was nothing then nothing now would be. Therefore there must be something that is both necessary and capable of sustaining everything else, I.e. a necessary being.To be clear, you do not subscribe to the notion of creation ex nihilo, then?
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!
