What is "FAITH"

[Consilius]

Thank you, Walking Void. In that case, the color of anything makes a bad attribute to use in any analogy.

If sodium is still sodium outside of and within the salt, then we have a whole made of parts. A chemical compound is the creation of an entirely different thing, not a body with parts.

As it happens, sodium is still sodium outside of and within salt. It doesn't magically change into unsodium.

Sure, you could say that there is sodium within salt, but you could not normally extract it in its original form, because its bond to chlorine has made it into salt. Same with the chlorine. NaCl is neither sodium or chlorine, but salt, an entirely different thing.

If the water is colorless and has color under the same light, then it doesn't need light to change color. Wrong again.

Light, and not the grouping of water molecules, makes lakes appear blue. Note how the water doesn't actually retain any color, unlike an apple or a painted post, but the blueness of water is only an illusion.
