Warning: Gravity is "Only a Theory"

Where did I say otherwise?
By calling it "just a theory". Let me help you out:

"The theory of gravity is just that".

In my native tongue, English (what's yours?), your pronoun "that" stands for "a theory", as mentioned earlier in the sentence. You didn't say "scientific theory", you said, "just (a theory)". I hope this free English lesson serves you well. The next one won't be free. ;)
 
Funny that we have just as much evidence (I think significantly more) to support the fact that a child's life begins at conception, than we have in the way of evidence to "prove" the theories of gravity, evolution and especially man made climate change.

Yet, look at the theories the leftardz are most compelled to adopt as their religion (and blindly follow by faith) the most.
Good grief shaman, can ONE thread NOT be about abortion?

What a idiot you are. ALL theories that deal with science, are scientific. You 'tard.
 
Even so, we can still quantify it, measure its pull, and falsify that anything other than gravity is keeping us stuck to the face of this watery rock...All of which is completely absent from Goebbels warming hypotheses.
100% wrong. Like, literally every word .
 
I'd like a Nickel for every Religionist who says 'Evolution is only a theory'. Not knowing Science does Not use 'Theory' for mere Conjecture but for a well documented set of facts.
The board is polluted with alot of these Literalists and 7-Eleven Adventists who know Zero about science.

Warning: Gravity is "Only a Theory"

Gravity: It's Only a Theory | NCSE

All physics textbooks should include this warning label:

“This textbook contains material on Gravity. Universal Gravity is a theory, Not a fact, regarding the natural law of attraction. This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully, and critically considered.”​
The Universal Theory of Gravity is often taught in schools as a “fact,” when in fact it is not even a good theory.

First of all, no one has measured gravity for every atom and every star. It is simply a religious belief that it is “universal.” Secondly, school textbooks routinely make false statements. For example, “the moon goes around the earth.” If the theory of gravity were true, it would show that the sun's gravitational force on the moon is much stronger than the earth's gravitational force on the moon, so the moon would go around the sun. Anybody can look up at night and see the obvious gaps in gravity theory.

The existence of tides is often taken as a proof of gravity, but this is logically flawed. Because if the moon's “gravity” were responsible for a bulge underneath it, then how can anyone explain a high tide on the opposite side of the earth at the same time? Anyone can observe that there are 2 -- not 1 -- high tides every day. It is far more likely that tides were given us by an Intelligent Creator long ago and they have been with us ever since. In any case, two high tides falsifies gravity.
[...... Big snip........]
It is not even clear why we need a theory of gravity -- there is not a single mention in the Bible, and the patriotic founding fathers never referred to it.

Finally, the mere name “Universal Theory of Gravity” or “Theory of Universal Gravity” (the secularists like to use confusing language) has a distinctly Socialist ring to it. The core idea of “to each according to his weight, from each according to his mass” is Communist. There is no reason that gravity should apply to the just and the unjust equally, and the saved should have relief from such “universalism.” If we have Universal Gravity now, then Universal health care will be sure to follow. It is this kind of Universalism that saps a nation's moral fiber.

Overall, the Theory of Universal Gravity is just not an attractive theory. It is based on borderline evidence, has many serious gaps in what it claims to explain, is clearly wrong in important respects, and has social and moral deficiencies. If taught in the public schools, by mis-directed “educators,” it has to be balanced with alternative, more attractive theories with genuine gravamen and spiritual gravitas.​

I'm not sure if you are kidding here, but gravity is a physical phenomena, not a theory. All they lack is finding the force carrier behind it (the "gravitron).
 
Gravity is a physical phenomenon. The theory of gravity is a scientific theory. Same for the theory of electromagnetism, quantum mechanical Theory, and anthropogenic global warming Theory. Scientific theories both explain what we have observed and successfully predict what we will observe.
 
Funny that we have just as much evidence (I think significantly more) to support the fact that a child's life begins at conception, than we have in the way of evidence to "prove" the theories of gravity, evolution and especially man made climate change.

Yet, look at the theories the leftardz are most compelled to adopt as their religion (and blindly follow by faith) the most.
The question of whether a human life begins at conception or birth or some stage of development is something science can't answer because it depends on how a person defines a human life and there is certainly strong difference of opinion on that issue. Theories are based on accepted truths.

The definition of a theory is an idea to explain something, gravity, the Oxygen theory of combustion, Cell Theory, etc.

Gravity is most accurately described by the general theory of relativity (proposed by Albert Einstein in 1915) which describes gravity not as a force, but as a consequence of the curvature of spacetime caused by the uneven distribution of mass.

Really?

Are you claiming that human beings somehow MORPH out of one organism that is NOT a human being and into an organism that IS?

Thanks, I'm very familiar with it. And its predictions have been tested and proven time and time again showing the validity of Einstein's equations. One of the more famous observational tests is the "Einstein Cross," caused by the gravitational lensing of a foreground galaxy bending the light of another galaxy far in the background to appear as a ring or split into many duplicate images.

In science, theories supported by scientific consensus have the highest level of certainty of any scientific knowledge. All theory is subject to revision.
Yes, I know quite well.
ie, See my posts here
#10, 51, 55, etc
You gotta at least read pg 1 of a thread you jump in, or more if's it's not 10 pages+.
Welcome to the section.

I raised the point for others to see and consider how inconsistent leftardz are when it comes down to which theories they will and will not ascribe to.

I did not say anything in this thread about abortion.

You DID, however. . .

That's kind of funny.

I'm not going to derail this thread to a debate about the beginning of human life. I suggest you start your own thread.

The subject is "theories" and the evidence to support them.

Some theories have more evidence to support them than others do.

Leftardz tend to gravitate towards theories with HUGE leaps of faith while they summarily dismiss "theories" that have substantially more evidence to support them.

I find that to be very telling and my point has already been made.

I don't need for you to discuss it any further,

Thanks.

160 YEARS and the greatest Scientific explosion in history, including New sciences on Dating, DNA, Geology (tectonic plates), etc, etc
ALL are consistent with or help affirm Evolution.
No fossils have been found the wrong start despite millions of finds.
Intermediate fossils/specie have been found, as eminently predictable by Evolution.

You're a clown with no debate at all.

"Some theories have more evidence to support them than others do."

Derp.
 

"Some theories have more evidence to support them than others do."

Derp.
Yes, and I showed part of the overwhelming case for Evolution.
You made NO Case against it you DISHONEST CLOWN.
You had NO rebutttal, No meat at all

You're a 12 IQ turd who posts Nothing/Nonsense/NO content.

You should be banned for trolling your worthless impotent godist.

so I guess no one bothered to click the link and notice the OP failed to copy and paste the part of the article that said this is satire and not real,,,

simple minds are easily fooled
