Atheists....?

Question

You couldn't answer my last question, so here's something a little simpler. Without using your crutch of "science" and without relying on an unproven THEORY (a theory is not a fact!):

Can you explain why things fall down when I let go of them?

I just noticed that about half the answers in my last question couldn't realize that I was poking fun at a recent Creationist question. Sarcasm really doesn't travel well through the keyboard. Ah well.

Answer 1

It's a coincidence. And it doesn't happen all the time. When I drop a balloon it goes up.

That whole story of "gravity" is obviously a fraud!

Answer 2

Gravity isn't a theory it's a law. Get it? Law of Gravity Anything that can be tested and retested under the same conditions and produces the same results is a law.
And since when is science a crutch? You're obviously using a computer. I supppose you drive a car, use a cell phone. You think God just gave you these things? And if you say yes, he still did it through scientists and researchers. If science is a crutch, it's as much yours as it is an Atheist's

Answer 3

I'm sorry, our crutch of science? I fail to understand how a method of rational investigation qualifies as a crutch. Anyhow, things fall down because of a little thing called GRAVITY. The fact that gravity exists is not a theory, it is a fact. How gravitational force works, however, is currently beyond our understanding. All we know is that a gravitational force exists between any two objects.

Answer 4

A theory is a theory because it can be expanded and corrected. Try a science book for a scientific "theory definition"

"Can you explain why things fall down when I let go of them?"
I let something fall, i deduce theres a force acting on it, i give it a name(in this case gravity), and finally make experiments to try to measure it, and then i make hypothesis to explain the why, when i find a successful one, i promote it to theory. Happy?

Edit
jeez because theists has been quite stupid these days, i thought you were serious. You made me waste 1 minute of my time sniff.

Answer 5

Theories are the mechanisms by which we explain observed phenomena. So no, one cannot explain anything in a systematic fashion without resorting to a theory.

Yes, sarcasm is ridiculously difficult to signal over the Internet.

Answer 6

I don't need to explain why things fall down when you let go of them. I don't really care. What I do care about is that whenever something is heavier than air and I let it go, it always falls to a lower place of support. That is all I need to know about it. As long as that remains a constant, then life is good.

Answer 7

This is because Odin has dropped them from `above`. Thor also drops things, in fact over 300 non-existent Gods and Goddesses regularly drop things from `up there`, to remind us that they are pure fiction.

Answer 8

So do you have a hard on for the atheist or something?

I find it funny that you call science a crutch.


Just read the addition to your question. Never mind what I said above. hehe

Answer 9

Ok so you want a reply that is not scientific or theoretical. All right. So you want rubbish. Here you go:

Things fall when you let go of them because Chuck Norris never cries.

Answer 10

???

You want us to answer a scientific question, without using science?

I suppose you think "Because god makes it fall." is an explanation.

If you want atheists to answer questions (I didn't see your last one -- it's not just a few people tht use YA, but millions; you can't assume the same people are seeing all of your questions), then ask them.

But don't ask and then tell us we can't use reason to answer.

If you don't want to know what we think, don't ask us questions.

Answer 11

Without using the crutch of "mathematics" can you tell me whether 2X>3Y/15?
