Quote: At the point where I can know that it can't be conclusive either way, I can move on to logical probabilities, and coherent propositions.Statements than can only refer to the physical as a system derived to mirror the behavior of the physical. Logical operations are not magical incantations. What is logically true or possible is only so by virtue of our physical world behaving in the manner that it appears to behave. There is no other -undefined- to which logic can refer, no other thing upon which the system could have been or was built upon. You don't get to borrow the language unless you want to play by the rules.
Try, "I move on to faithing things with my faith system" - which is also, amusingly, physical.
Quote: I can't know physically but I can rationalise possibilities.Only useful when those variables are defined in a concrete manner....see above.
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!
