You and your 10-year old daughter are standing on opposite sides of a swimming pool. both of you are outside the pool. Unexpectedly she finds herself in the water.

I can't believe I have to explain this.
"The existence of invisible forces is beyond dispute." You mean immaterial forces acting across a vacuum? Baloney. That's a metaphysical assumption, it seems to be idiocy. Certainly it is at least disputable.
Ever hold a pendulum near a mountain? If so, what do you suppose it was that pulled the plumb slightly towards the mountain?
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
