yup. A law is a description of what something does. You don't need to know how it does it, to describe what it does.

In other words, you don't even know basic math. A*B=B*A

If you prefer to write it down as e.g.
F=M1*Gm*M2/r^2, then that's exactly the same.

And just wondering:
how do you evolutionsts explain gravity???
Is the creationist explaination any different?

Here is the thing about people like you. If we did post evidence, you would claim it is illogical and untrue and claim you are right and i am wrong, just like every other fundie on this planet. Grow up.

We know mass causes gravity, we just dont know how. I think that mass causes depressions in space, like if you were to take a plate sheet of rubber and suspend it, then put a weight on it. If you pour some beads on that rubber sheet, then all the beads are going to come to that point, but if there is a bigger point there is a higher chance they will go to that point, but some will still go to the orriginal weight. Orbit works when one of those beads gets trapped in the round curvature of the slope and keeps going around and around and around.

Remember that the next time a bunch of students go onto the streets to protest against further cuts in education and join them. That level of ignorance is what we're trying to prevent.
I am from America and I had a fairly decent sicetific education, although a lot of what I know came from my own thinking about it, then reading about it in research journals, scientific websites and now in college.

Yeah, but we're the minority. Most Americans have a poor to average science education. Most Americans don't care about science or think its not important. Then there's a few Americans that actually want to worsen American's science education system (IDer's and Creationists that try to actively change the science standards, and Republicans that cut grants for graduate students).

EDIT: added one more group that hurts America's science education
