Atheist, do you believe in gravity?

Question

Well usually most atheist's believe they have to see, touch , and feel. You can't see gravity, you can't touch gravity, I guess you can make an argument about feeling gravity, but so can every saved person out there who has excepted Christ in their lives. We can't prove to you he is in our lives and that he exists, it is all faith. The same for you, you can't prove that he's not! It's all faith on your part that He doesn't exist.

Answer 1

Yes.

Answer 2

Alright, listen...

Atheism is just a belief that there is no God. It has nothing to do with metaphysics.

On that note, as a Buddhist/Agnostic, I feel qualified to answer this question.
Yes. I believe in gravity. Gravity is an intangible force, but its effects are tangible. We know it exists because by definition, it is the force that pulls objects towards the Earth. If I drop a rock, it will hit the ground. Therefore, there is examinable proof of gravity. However, there is no proof of God. This does not mean that he doesn't exist.... it just means that it's improbable. Very improbable.

Answer 3

This seems to be some veiled snide remark. I can imagine this person's internal monologue spewing forth right now

"ha, just wait till they all say yes, then i can swoop in and say that they can't prove it and if they want to believe in something why not God? Mwah ha ha ha!"

Gravity is based on evidence, we can do experiments to prove it exists. We can turn up at such and such a time and measure gravity, and then do it again. This is not a theory, this is scientifically proven fact. And it has nothing to do with our lack of belief in God. It's like saying proving that the earth is round is connected to vegetarianism. We do not believe in God for many reasons, gravity is rarely one of them. But Gravity doesn't require belief, only acceptance of evidence that no deity has ever been able to provide.

Answer 4

(Drops shoe, hears thud)

Yes.

[Now we're going to hear "But you can't see it, so how can you say it exists? What makes you think that just because you can't see God, he doesn't exist?". Then we have to drink, because we've heard that piece asinine strawman illogic so many times before.

I'm pouring even as we speak.]

(Later: )

"The same for you, you can't prove that he's not! It's all faith on your part that He doesn't exist".

Yup, predictably, there it is. More believers demonstrating that they don't know anything at all about religion or spirituality.

Drink up.

Answer 5

I'm not an atheist, or conventionally religious either. But of course I don't believe in gravity because gravity is only a theory. I believe the invisible Flying Spaghetti Monster holds everything down (except helium balloons).

Answer 6

Arrrrrr!

I believe that the Flying Spaghetti Monster pushes down on us with His Noodly Appendages, which keeps us from flying off into outer space. He does this so we can digest His Noodly Goodness.

Gravity has never been proven. It is just a sick plot to discredit him and destroy Pastafarianism.

Yeah, tho' tis ne'er but a theory, I shall bask in the shadows of the beer volcano, and partake heavily amongst the churnins of the stripper factory, for pasta art with me.

RAmen!

Answer 7

yes we believe in science and such so why shouldn't we believe in gravity I think you need to direct your question to some of the Christians here

Answer 8

Of course not. There's no proof. I'd float around all the time, and only the FSM's invisible noodly appendage keeps me tethered to earth.

Answer 9

I'm a Christ follower, and questions like this are why I don't say I'm a Christian.

Answer 10

Wheee! There is evidence of gravity.
