Well, as has already been mentioned, vast tracts of the earth are unavailable to us as habitat. Beyond that, the shores of the cosmic ocean are littered with "not earth-like" objects. If all of creation were designed to support man, it would seem a prudent piece of engineering wisdom to lessen mans requirements for life and make him amenable to a larger range of habitats. That's just the thing, here we are talking design flaws, when of course there is no design. The theist sees us talking design flaws, and this helps to reenforce in his mind that there is a design, he does not hear the rest of it.
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!
