Additional question, do you think the bible supports science, or does science support the bible? Any thought on this topic?

Jesus tells us to explore everything.
Ask, and it shall be given unto you; seek and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you -Matthew 7:7
The moon is only responsible for the unique tides on Earth, not the gravity.

The moon is not the 'great bringer of gravity', all massy objects have a gravitational attraction to all other massy objects. Fact.
The cause of gravity remains ellusive, but there are three main theories:
1) All massy particles are points in spacetime that exchange virtual bosons called gravitons with all other massy particles.
2) Following from 1), these gravitons are not bound to a brane in the same way photons and gluons are, which is the reason the force of gravity is so much weaker that predicted
3) The universe exists in a higgs field such that gravity waves (the higgs boson) exchanges the force.
All three of these theories can be summerised by assuming a continuum of gravitational exchange - this is called general relativity. In general relativity the mechanism of exchange isn't important, what is important is the curvature of spacetime (the change in the axiom of mathematics such that massy objects 'fall' into each other)
I have never read anything about gravity in the Bible.
I do not think the Bible supports science.
I do not think science supports the Bible.
I think the Bible should be treated as an ancient history book written in ancient history only.

Earth has its own gravity, independent of the Moon's. Regarding science and a literal interpretation of the Bible, neither one supports the other.

Without the moon, there would still be gravity.
Bible does not supports science and the more discovery on sciences, the least it support the bible.

Yeah, there would still be gravity. But our poles would wobble and really screw up our seasons and climate zones.
What does this have to do with the Bible?

There would still be gravity, as it is the earth's mass that provides our gravity. The absence of the moon would, however, affect tides.

The Bible is a work of fiction, so it probrolly regards the moon as being the devil's Summer house....

bible always follow science.
whenever it to much to resist, bible will slowly change to fit with the science.
