No its not.There's no requirement for faith. We observe a moment of present time absent your gawds. There is no reason to accept that your gawds are a requirement for perception of present time or for the existence of contingent reality.The EFFECTS of gravity is what gravity IS, stupid! We observe it, we measure it, we do calculations with it all the time. It is not something that isn't observable.Like we observe the effects of gravity, we observe the effects of time moving from present to past. Like it takes no faith to observe the effects of gravity, it takes no faith to observe the effects of time.We don't observe the present, we can't observe it because of physics. All human observation depends on time happening and if time is happening, you are not in the moment of present time.
Wrong... We observe the effects of time moving from immediate past to a more distant past. We cannot observe the moment of present time. We do have faith that the moment of present time is as we are perceiving it to be, but we cannot verify this because we cannot observe the present moment of time. Faith is essential.
I didn't say anything about Gods. Faith is still essential if you believe present reality is as you perceive it.
If i measure the length of my phone with a ruler, i dont need faith that my phone was x-inches - it is a fact. I can observe the present despite being in the near future doing so.
Your argument is bananas levels of fucking stupid.
It's a fact that everything you did was in the past and not the present moment of time. Even before your enormous brain could think to measure your phone, the past is already here. The present has moved on.
Now I can establish all kinds of facts about the past. We have about 14.5 billion Earth revolutions around the Sun to examine there. What you and I don't have is facts about present time because we cannot observe it.
So we can only have faith in our perception of the present.
