Quote: I'll speak for myself, to be intellectually satisfied that we are not the result of a personal agent who caused and designed the universe and our existence I would want to have reason to believe some other non-God cause is as feasible and as likely to account for our existenceThen you're in luck, because our existence is handily accounted for, readily and vastly demonstrated, down to the mechanism and even its underlying mechanics, with nary a single fairy accounted for anywhere - or even required.
Of course, you weren't being honest with yourself (or us) here, as this explanation is conveniently and simply available to you (and for your attempts at falsification or verification) but you choose to believe in fairies nevertheless.
"God" accounts for nothing, it doesn't even begin to offer an account for anything, it's a non-starter, an added word. You're partial to the word, that much is obvious. But lets at least try to be a little more candid, if only with ourselves..eh?
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!
