I know about gravity, and I think God pulls things to the earth. It is all in the way you look at it.

Does he just happen to pull things toward all massive sized objects too or is that my imagination?
No, it's not all in the way you look at it. You can't see god, or hear him or even detect the presence of god, but, you can detect gravity.
"It is all in the way you look at it."
Do you really think it's wise to worship gravity?"Truth does not demand belief. Scientists do not join hands every Sunday, singing, "yes, gravity is real! I will have faith! I will be strong! I believe in my heart that what goes up, up, up must come down, down. down. Amen!" If they did, we would think they were pretty insecure about it."

Pulls things to the Earth? What about to the sun, the moon, the other planets, the asteroids, other stars, galaxies, space dust, and YOU? Everything made of matter has gravity and exerts this pulling force; it's not exclusive to Earth.
Intelligent Falling. Hm. Does that mean that if a fundie is on a plane, and it begins to crash, and he escapes out the door, he'll float?
Julian, I just followed the link you furnished for Intelligent Falling and that article is a hoot. I was really impressed with the guys degrees, especially that they all came from Oral Roberts University, it being such a center for scientific research and critical thinking. The one quote that really got me to seriously reconsider my thinking on the concept of gravity, though, was:
There really should be an award for "So much stupid in such a short statement."
I'm gonna be charitable and assume epy is simply of the opinion that God is an active participant in the upholding of natural law, rather than just having created it at one point and leaving it to do its thing - hardly a problem, if you already believe in an omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent creator being.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
