Yes.
The first requires faith that you can trust your senses.
The second requires faith that no cataclysms will occur.
The third is religious faith.

"The Sun is carried across the sky by Ra's boat." only this one requires faith.
The rest are logical.

* inspired by Robert M. Pirsig. Well, actually it is all him:
"You are never dedicated to do something you have complete confidence in. No one is fanatically shouting that the sun is going to rise tomorrow. They know it's going to rise tomorrow. When people are fanatically dedicated to political or religious faiths or any other kind of dogmas or goals, it's always because these dogmas or goals are in doubt."

The first is an observation.
The second requires "faith" only in that you assume it will happen based on how the universe has shown itself to work.
The third is entirely faith-based, and is contrary to reality as well.

Only the last one requires faith.The first two are granted trust because they are evident and can be proved.

The first is an observation.
The second is a reasonable conclusion based on past observation.
The third is blind faith.
