No, I never said that. You do know that the theory of gravity is based on the assumption of heliocentrism, right? Now if we were to assume geocentricity were correct(assuming the earth is stable and that the universe revolves the earth everyday) and create the theory of gravity from there, it would fit.
What i'm saying is, gravity works everywhere in the universe, except for the case of the earth. It cannot be shown scientificly that the earth actually adheres to it.
You only assume it to be true, because it works for the other planets...
Gravity could very well work within the geocentric assumption.

"No, I never said that. You do know that the theory of gravity is based on the assumption of heliocentrism, right?"
A. The theory of gravity (whichever one you're talking about) has nothing to do with heliocentrism.
B. Heliocentrism is not an assumption, There is lots and lots of data supporting heliocentrism.
"Now if we were to assume geocentricity were correct(assuming the earth is stable and that the universe revolves the earth everyday) and create the theory of gravity from there, it would fit."
Sure, because gravity is not dependant on your retarded geocentric theory. Please show any credible astronomical data set that works better with geocentrism rather than heliocentrism.
"What i'm saying is, gravity works everywhere in the universe, except for the case of the earth."
That's a really stupid, unsupportable assertion. What I'm saying is you're a stupid and ignorant assbite.
"It cannot be shown scientificly that the earth actually adheres to it."
Let's do a little test. Hold a rock, the biggest rock you can lift, over your head. Now let go of it. Is there gravity working on earth?*
*The answer is "yes." Continue to repeat the test until you get that answer.
"You only assume it to be true, because it works for the other planets..."
No, it has been proven to work on earth... over and over and over...
"Gravity could very well work within the geocentric assumption."
Indeed, but that's because they are essentially unrelated.
No, no, guys. He's right. I mean, I jump off cliffs and float without falling all the time. Really. He should try it, too.
This man is a true genius! He has defined fundie science, creationism, and ID all in one paragraph. Assumption, then assume, then assuming again, then create a theory to fit from there, then assume, then could, then another assumption. Not a single damn factual statement, just a bunch of ifs!
I love "You only assume it to be true, because it works for the other planets..." It's totally self-refuting. (In any case, are there really that many people who have never been exposed to the Rubber Sheet model of gravity? Pretty much makes the entire concept of anything-centrism irrelevant to the idea of gravity...)
Well, the theory of gravity is a physical equation: F_g = G * m_1 * m_2 / (r^2). F_g is the force of gravity, G is the universal gravitational constant, m_1 and m_2 are the masses of the two bodies, and r is the radius between the two centers of mass.
For any body such that the mass of Earth is many magnitudes greater than the mass of said body and the radius is small enough that outside masses have a negligible effect on the body, neglecting air resistance, the rate of acceleration of the body due to gravity approaches 9.8 m/s^2, which is derivable from the equation above.
YOU FAIL!
To the center of gravity's pull, you should go. A black hole you will find there. A favor, do us, and throw yourself in.
It works in all planets except in Earth?, WTF?, should we send him to another planet to see if his theory works?. Or better, lets make him jump from the Empire State Building, see what happens.
When I started to read this, I immediately looked to the bottom to see if it was Carico.

No, it's the other way around. If the earth is the center, then the motion of the sun and planets can't be explained by the law of gravity.
It cannot be shown scientificly that the earth actually adheres to it.
Sign up for DirecTV. If the satellite actually stays where your antenna is pointed, you've just proved the earth's gravity yourself, unless you think it's being held up there on a pole.
How old are you, 6?
I'm 17. I was 16 when I wrote the comment though.
If there is no gravity then why am I stuck on the same planet with RichardT?
as if this were in anyway a bad thing.

Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
