Did you miss my posts or something? This "all things that are logically possible" thing is what you are arguing for, what some apologists present, but at some point someones going to have to explain why god himself (if we're running with it) seemed to be of a different opinion. The narrative makes no mention of "logically possible" while repeatedly making mention of how "all things are possible" - no qualifiers, no provisions. You've invested it with this meaning (as have apologists who choose to do so for whatever reason). Don't get me wrong, I like your definition better, but nothing suggests that the narrative uses the definition you've chosen (or that those who wrote it had any idea why they would need to add such a qualifier).

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!
