Because, despite your protestations to the contrary, there is no evidence -none - for the existence of any god. There is plenty of evidence for the existence of gravity. Any number of experiments can demonstrate its effects. There are no such god-exposing experiments.

There is a fundamental difficulty here; if you see the World with a Creationist paradigm, you will see signs of a Creator. If however, you see the World in a more rational sense, you may not see any Creator artifacts/signs at all.
Every one is capable of seeing the World according to their own unique view - provided they are able to distinguish what is part of their own world-view and whatever viewpoint they have grown up with.
The argument about "invisible gravity" does not stand up as gravity's effects are clearly observable.
Also, I do not think many atheists or agnostics will use the argument you have presented: that God does not exist 'cos it can't be seen! Such people have very sound and rational reasons for dismissing the idea of a God.
I hope this gives you some grounds for further thought.

"..dispite of his clearly signs in his creation.."
What signs - they aren't clear to me, or any one who knows anything about the universe (and trust me honey - they know VASTLY more than you do)
"....so why do you believe in gravity when something fall down from u although u don't see it (the gravity)...."
Because gravity, my little undereducated poppit is a force. You can only 'see' a force by observing the effect it has on matter. Regardless of what Newton (yes that is how it's spelled) says, I can see the effect of gravity very easily and thus have little difficulty believing in gravity.
God is a completely different story and once again, regardless of what the prophets say I have never seen the effect of God and thus have great difficulty believing in God.
(It scares me that you can spell prophet but not Newton)

I don't know of anyone that uses "I don't believe because I can't see god". Most of us have *objectively* looked at the evidence for gravity and for a deity - in one case we find that there is a great deal of evidence and in the other, none at all.
I personally understand that we may not see evidence of a god, but if that god had preformed actions in this world like creation, the flood, or the events of exodus, I would expect to find compelling evidence of these -- the problem is that there is none.

what signs are there of a god in the universe. it call all be pretty well explained as a natural phenomena, no signs of any magic or spookiness anywhere.
no you can't see gravity but you can sure feel it, whereas, you cannot see, feel, hear, smell or conceive with reason, logic or common sense anything supernatural.
prophets! i the great prophet of the great god smiggens predict that the sun will rise tomorrow. and if it doesn't i will return and edit this after the event, pretty much what happened with the bible.

Gravity is scientifically provable, and yes you can see it
( newtons apple). God is neither provable or can be disproved. It's a matter of faith, you have it, I am jealous because I haven't. Other prophets have said the world is going to end, it hasn't yet. My advice is live by the tenents of most mainstream religions and you can't go far wrong.

First of all, I believe in God. But I think that people who don't believe in God feel that way because they don't have any physical proof that He exists. You can't SEE gravity, but there have been scientific experiments that prove it exists. You can't scientifically prove that God exists...

Like others have said, you can prove the existence of gravity, and pretty much all the other elements around us!
There’s no proof that GOD exists besides the tell-tell word of some Prophets who breathes the same air you and I breath, and is constructed of the same insides you and I are made of!
*domo*
EDIT:::
And David a, I can celebrate any COMMERCIAL holiday I please! Considering its pagan and the purpose is so off the religious marker that I don’t know why so many "GOD fearing Christians" celebrate it! Maybe you should do your research before boasting such ridiculous word!
Dont send me any emails!

gravity can be measured,it's effects can be accurately predicted and observed.that is a horrible analogy,but it really is.If you pray for something,it may or may not happen,although Jesus CLEARLY said "whatever you ask in my name I WILL grant"(Notice the word WILL..not "might",Not "if you've been good"But "WILL"
Contrast this with gravity,throw a ball up in the air...doesn't much matter how many prophets,or scientists for that matter say differently.the ball WILL fall down,and at a predictable,measurable speed.See the HUGE difference?

I don't say that I don't believe in god(s) because I can't see them. I don't believe in god(s) because there is no evidence for their existence. I can test gravity very easily, might you devise a test for god?
