I would like to add that everyone is purely speculating when it comes to the technical specifications and abilities of the F-22. The key is no one knows because all the above information is classified top secret--at least the government will never really release what it is fully capable of regardless of what you might read or hear. Notwithstanding, all your arguments about how many Gs the jet can handle have nothing to do with the integrity and strength of the airframe. Trust me when I say even the airframe can certainly withstand more Gs than any pilot could ever survive. There is an on-board digital flight control computer that prevents the jet from pulling more Gs than the pilot can handle--generally speaking no more than 9 Gs. The other factor is the jets payload... the more it carries the less Gs it can handle.
You know what I find humorous; how everyone tries to place their preconceived notions on who GOD is... do you really think that GOD would fit the form of our notions of who he is? Do you really think that if GOD exists... that this GOD would fit our preformed views? How would that help us in finding the truth. I think we all too often miss the big picture as a result of our vanity... that truth is supposed to conform to our ever changing views of this world which we would call science... science cannot bring absolute truth save an evolutionary changing viewpoint; I mean do we really believe that what we know today has anything to do with what we discover tomorrow? Absolutely not! I know one thing to be true... man is no where close to infinite knowledge... if that is so, then how can we even begin to speculate that we know truth? For truth cannot be actually defined by an ever changing science... as far as I know...good science is based on the principle that with the discovery of new knowledge we change and form our previous ideas or theories to fit the newly discovered evidence of what we know today. With that being said; does anyone truly believe that science brings us truth?

That is the beta version... not final!
