Meh, a believer will argue against anything that contradicts their faith, no matter how well attested or observed. It simply must be untrue. They will similarly argue for anything that confirms their faith, no matter how well refuted or dissected. Their faith compels them to do so. It's a bit of a script where both sides arguments have already been hashed out well in advance. That faith has yet to meet the burden of proof is simply an observation of the situation on the ground. Maybe one day it will. It would require significant refinement of faith, or a scientific discovery that overturns nearly everything we know about the world around us (or both). Till then they know their part, they know our part, and they will continue to trudge along with what they have until something better comes along. The prospect that something better may come along is a positive one for me, personally. I can't place the quote but something along the lines of "It would be a shame if the universe gave up her secrets all at once, and forever."
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!
