Air is made of stuff. Nitrogen atoms, oxygen atoms, etc. The atoms are in turn made of other stuff. Subatomic particles, etc. These are composed in such a way that air has a certain composition, behaves in certain ways, can do some things and not others. This is the form of air.
That's not how aristotle or saint tom had it figured. They thought that stuff was made of air. It would be impossible to get that backward if you'd read the work you're discussing. You haven't. You've read christian apologetics about it, which conveniently leave things like that out.
Because they're utterly ridiculous, like so many christian faiths.
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!
