Then everything for the future is purely hope. You eat a steak? I sure hope it doesn't turn into lava in your stomach! You enter a car? Better hope it doesn't turn into a crocodile and swallow you!

Must be a strange life you're leading, but anything you can tell yourself to ease your conscience. Surely the same number of cows would be killed if nobody ate any meat, they could always hope that tomorrow people start again!

Better hope the laws of physics don't magically change!
