Both have very valid points and both are flawed. They are both Theories. Key word there, Theories. Because they can not be proven, what is the point? I'm right your wrong, big whup. Why don't we just whip them out and compare sizes, thats what it all boils down to.

Gravity is just a theory. Gravitationists have not been able to prove why things fall, or how things first started being attracted to the Earth. Whenever anything can not be fully understood, it makes perfect rational sense to say "God did it."

Just because everything everybody has ever dropped has gone downwards doesn't mean that someone can't drop something tomorrow and it will fall up. Gravity is inconclusive. The obvious answer is that an intelligence is pulling things downwards for us to where they will be most convenient to use later - for now!.
Except helium balloons.

Our understanding of the mechanism behind gravity changes every so often, doesn't it?
Of course, the thing is, all those different understandings don't involve "god" do they. So your jest of the other man's question is valid, and my hat to you.
I asked today do you have to be atheist agnostic to believe the Earth goes around the sun.
Think you were aiming for this sort of question also.

Your falling intelligence is not due to gravity, grave though it may be. Whup it out and show us where your brains are - but like your other head's size, bigger is not smarter.

yep you're right as nobody knows for sure one way or the other how the world truly came to be and nobody has totally proven nor disproven the existence or nonexistence of a higher being which is why i'm agnostic and to me agnosticism is the logical and rational choice

I find it ridiculous, it's just silly! So I can drop something and it falls - how does that prove this THEORY of gravity. There's no gravity in space, so explain that! Really, neither side will ever be proven right, we might as well just forget about it.

I agree. Gravity is just a theory after all. It doesn't even say anything about it in the Bible

I think it is a good thing to keep searching for the truth even with theories.

Unfortunately, some people really don't believe in gravity and believe we are held down by air pressure and "aetherial forces"

funny! and what would be the Christian response to Heliocentrism? Oh yeah, the response was throwing Galileo in jail.
