In whom I trust
Well, given that you've seen 100 people do it beforehand, that would be a valid enough observation to not call it "faith".
That is in the present. How do you know that he will be correct when you open it? It could be a trap for you so that you open the box and you get nothing. We are still relying on the past to make a future judgement and as sch you are still putting your trust in the Alien to be correct. That is faith in anyone's books. YOu are assuming that I was talking about blind fiath, but faith is just simply trusting the word of the Alien to be true, when it could be wrong. It still takes faith since you still can get nothing for that box. You are assuming that he is 100% corrrect all the time, but this a an assumption based on past events. IF you do trust in what he says, then you are simply acting of that faith and it is only after you have acted have you found out that your faith was correct or not. So many times we take faith for granted because we have seen things happen and assume that it happen. How do you know that you are not the one to be the incorrect person?
