By whom/what? A presence (that's awfully slippery)? I suppose I'd mention that the idea of a god being created (or arising) for some purpose (or no purpose) and then -ascending- or capturing the throne (as it were) is an idea fairly well represented in mythology (and we, as human beings, also simply "awaken" to consciousness ourselves- so this is a concept within that larger notion that we are familiar with).
I don't think we're in a situation here where it hasn't been considered - more like a situation in which the consideration thereof simply makes us ask -the same questions- one step further back while offering no additional insight. Considered, sure. Worthwhile....I doubt it. This is one of those kernels from which "god" simply does not follow. Fun to wonder about, I suppose...but if I were going to wonder about that I;d probably just stick to explaining how and why that came to be so for us...before I extend any of that to the realm of the divine (and this, I think, would be required before we made comparisons to ourselves with some hypothetical "god" we'd need to know wtf we were talking about in at least one of the examples, otherwise we are attempting to explain hypothetical ignorance with actual ignorance...and I'd rather eat that shit sundae one spoonful at a time).
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!
