The theory of gravity is not an observation at all. Theories aren't observations, they're attempts to explain observations.

No, they're not. Originally Posted by Wolly The problem is that much of modern science objects to evolution, and not gravity. To prove evolution, one has to use observation and reason, not math formulas!
Much of modern science does not object to evolution. That is false, and you cannot support it.

No thanks, I've been burning so many lately that I'm getting a sore throat and runny eyes.

1. Please don't quote long replies in their entirety just to respond with one word or "aahahhaha" or whatever. Excise the quote.
2. You're in over your head dude. I'd recommend reading up a bit more than the sources you claim to have read before posting. If you have a question, fine, but your assertions make me cry.  |

Sorry... you confused me. I'd love to say it won't happen again, but...

You creationists need to learn a bit of physics before you make such assertions. In truth, the theory of gravity (if you could say there really is one) is on far less solid ground than the theory of evolution. The mechanism of gravity (what the theory of gravity tries to explain) is truly not understood (we understand gravity over large distances but have no real understanding of how it works over short distances), while the mechanisms of evolution are both well understood and observed. | | |
