ORIGINAL: atursvcMaam I'll take the theories of gravity and fluid dynamics as applied to flight, over the theory of 'a deity will save me if I have faith and jump off this building', any day. probably a wise choice as your faith is in these laws and not in the deity you mentioned. Faith is what the predictions are based on. If that were true, then I wouldn't be checking the safety record of the airline before I flew now would I? In any case, you are disingenuously conflating terms, there is a huge difference between having faith that airplanes will not suddenly cease to operate for no explainable reason, and blind religious faith that God will let you fly magically. Do you check records if it is your intention to jump from a building? just curious. sorry.
