Why would a god concern itself over wasted space? Sounds like one of your own concerns Pala. There's plenty of "wasted space" just on this rock, arguably. Certainly so in our immediate solar system. I'm suggesting, I suppose, that your line of reasoning wouldn't actually have the power to establish such a fact (of gods existence) -either way the cookie crumbled-. Obviously, as you alluded to, but I would stress that this would not even be an indicator. One might question the "intellectual honesty" of the one statement immediately following the other (but I haven't seen the full expression of your assumptions, obviously). It would definitely seem as though you're trying to hedge for both positions without really fleshing either out.
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!
