Yeah, after I wrote this I figured it was more complicated than I realized.
I guess you could also ask: If a giant hand was holding an airplane in the air even after it started to run its engines to the full maximum and then the hand would let it free, would the airplane fall on the ground or would it fly? If you go by Bernoulli it would fall, but if you go by air suction it would fly.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
