No, what I've done is independent of your understanding.
If we modify it thus: "If I'm following what you said, you just proved to me that abiogenesis is impossible," well, that still ignores your part in the process. For it to be accurate, we'd need: "Using the sequence of concepts elicited by my reading your post, I just proved to myself that abiogenesis is impossible; thus, if my sequence of concepts is the same as yours, it can be said that you proved to me that abiogenesis is impossible."
We can drop the last bit, since it's just semantics. So we have: "Using the sequence of concepts elicited by my reading your post, I just proved to myself that abiogenesis is impossible;" which, coming from my model, "Faith," wouldn't be saying much.
