Either faith in the evidence source or faith in the interpretation of said evidence.So, when we tell you that the 'evidence' says that the average gravitational acceleration rate on Earth is 9.8 m/s², everyone, including inanimate objects, are just taking it on faith? And everything just coincidentally follows that 'faith' consistently and reliably?
That must be some pretty powerful faith there....
How do you know this to be true? Because the internet told you? because you read it in a book? Even if what you read was correct, you should then ask are their any other variables that can change this formula?
What if i told you the gravitional rate on earth increases when the drag coefficient decreases? so to say "The gravitational acceleration rate on Earth is 9.8 m/s²" is at best an estimation. because the higher up you go the higher the gravitional rate will increase up to an objects terminal velocity. as the atmosphere thickens more drag is applied and the terminal velocity will decrease and the acceleration rate will also decrease the closer one gets to sea level...
So yeah, it takes 'faith' to believe what you know about gravity is indeed 100% complete and correct.. You just don't seem to be aware of the faith you have.
It also take a whole heck of a lot of faith to spout off random facts against a known fact checker without first doing a google search on what it is you think you know.

I said you do not understand that religion, because you are assuming that muslims are also promised what I have reported Christians have been promised. This is not true. Muslims and Christians are not working for the same goals and or promises.
Aside from the promises of assureances that muslim believer need not worship any other God because allah will love them if they are faithful.. Allah makes no promises to be activly carried out and verifiable in this life. It's all geared for the next one..
There are only 25 muslim identified promises of allah (I only count about a dozen the rest are religious fluff) and nothing execept the assurance of harship can be verified in a believer's life. even then that is a two part promise and the second part can not be verified till after Death.

Christians on the other hand Are offered to have God Himself be incorperated into their being.
Quote:Well, you presuppose the existence of God. The existence of any other deities seems to be impossible in your worldview because you presuppose that only God exists.when did i say this? or are you just playing to Christian cliche'? are you working your own confirmation bias here, because very little to anything you have ever brought to the discussion is relevant. You just keep defaulting to a general atheist verse Christian arguements. When challenged to demonstrate your assertions and apply them to the conversation you speak to sterotypes.
