We christians know better! We're weighed down by sin. That's why angels can fly.

Gravity is a great theory. Everytime I test it, the evidence bears out!
God is another great theory. The problem is, everytime I try to test it, well... there's no evidence to test, no results, no peer agreement, and no answers.
Two words...
Faith
Fact
Learn the difference you simp!

I'm sorry, but your reasoning is assanine. We are weighed down by sin??? Then why does an inanimate object fall when I drop it? Only living beings can have sinned. So shouldn't the object just hover there?
And keep in mind that gravity does not mean things fall down. It means that two bodies attract each other. What do you think causes the tides? The moon. And what do you think holds the moon in orbit? The earth.
Let me point out that I am Christian. I believe in God and Jesus, but I believe God gave us this world (or universe even) that is based in rules (physics).
Open your mind. Understand that others' views are not wrong just because they are athiests. Besides, is it really your place to judge? I think only one being is truly supposed to do that.

You don't think Christians believe in gravity? How ridiculous is that, just because they are Christian doesn't mean they are stupid. Any reasonable person who believes gravity does not exist should try jumping off the empire state building and see if he/she goes up or down. OMG now thats just silly. Christians know science has some validity otherwise we would all be dead from disease like chicken pox and such.

Because gravity has gladly proven itself every time I've managed to drop something I did not wish to break, or something heavy that would manage to land on my foot.
Magical beings on the other hand have not bothered to prove themselves oddly enough... You'd think something with any bit of intelligence would turn up at SOME point...

Well, if I drop my can of ginger ale it won't float. It's gonna make a big ole mess that I'll have to clean up. So knowing for a fact that will happen if I just turn loose of the can; I will in turn not turn loose and I will not make a mess.

I'm actually unsure as to whether gravity exists. I think more experimentation is required. We can start by throwing people who force Intelligent Design in our class rooms from air planes and see what happens. My bet? The Holy Ghost saves them, and they float upwards.....but shouldn't we be sure?
I will happily volunteer to be the air plane tosser :-)

So how much does a sin weigh?
Why didn't Hitler fall to the centre of the Earth?
Why does a preist and a prostitute of the same size weigh about the same?
WHAT NEW BREED OF IDIOT ARE YOU!?

We don't need to believe in it we know its there because we can see it's effects. We understand why it works. It can be measured and we know why different planets have different strength gravities.
