...how can this fail to get through? It's pointless to request specific scientific demonstration of materialism. That's all it -can- provide. That's all it talks about. The minute you've assigned any credibility to any particular piece of science, you have assigned credibility to a materialists position. It self limits and self describes -as such-. I'm not interested, again, in proving to you that science works and can be trusted, proving to you that what science says..is true. You get to make that determination for yourself.

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!
