There are stories, however, based on real life events. Various people with no contact between them when relate the same story, the story cannot be made up.
Your personal incredulity does not makes this so.
We're perfectly capable of telling remarkably similar stories without ever having interacted with each other. Authors have minor(and major) legal squabbles over this all the time. I'm left wondering why you seem to believe that something that does happen -cannot happen-. Why would we, as human beings btw, tell completely divergent stories about things like gods? Wouldn't you expect a measure of commonality? Maybe some other creature would tell wildly different stories -if cattle had gods, etc etc-.
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!
