Abortion not allowed

Have you never encountered gravity before? Never seen a weight put atop a surface? You're essentially asserting that you've never been around physics before.

Have you never seen a chair break because some one sat on it?

Sure, and generally I'm able to inspect a chair that won't support my weight and see that it's unstable, too. Because that's identifiable based on my knowledge of structure, weight mechanics and physics.

Do you not have any of those things?

Faith in a chair is faith nonetheless. The point of the exercise is to demonstrate how faith works. In that it succeeds.

I guess. I'd just be happier without the equivocation between faith based on reasonable expectations, and faith based on absolutely nothing. It's the false dichotomy I object to; if you want to define faith as a lack of certainty then... whatever. I just want people to not pretend that this makes every kind of faith exactly equal.
