I hope you don't mind me cutting in here? Your previous response seemed to have gone unanswered.

Again no offense, but isn't this a delusion itself?
People seem to think that because gravity exists, we are subject to it.
Observed evidence seems to clearly indicate this!
quote:
Anyway with the faith you just described, you will never get to overcome gravity.
The is no evidence that anyone has ever used faith in God to "overcome" gravity. Yet we have clear examples of how man has used science to do something akin to this! By this I mean rocketry and flight.

Typically the next response will be someone telling me to jump off a bridge or something, lol.
Well you have set yourself up for such a question, and joking about it doesn't get you off the hook! In that case I'll ask the obvious - would you be prepared to test the validitiy of your faith by jumping off a bridge?

You cannot test anyones validity of faith.
Yes, I accept my wording was sloppy there. I meant, of course, the depth of your OWN faith, not it's logical validity.
quote:
I have stated elsewhere that my faith has not reached that level. I wish it was.
I'm intrigued that you wish your faith was deeper, though. To what end?
