[Replying to 'we SEE gravity'] no we don't. we see movements of stars. we assume gravity is causing it. why do you assume that?

sorry he is correct. We can see the effects of something we call gravity. The maths appears to explain the movements of planets, stars, galaxies but there is a very small chance that there are tiny hyperdrive motors inside them all.
The fall off a tall building is an excellent bet though.

Hume's philosophy is not very useful; amusing but not especially useful.
Conviction to within a reasonable degree of error, now that is useful.
Before they understood the constants and math of gravitational bodies they knew of several planets behavior. In other words we saw gravity before we could draw conclusions from it.
It's really disappointing to know the planets are called such (wanderers) because they showed a different path then stars and star clusters, yet idiots today don't know this with this imformation readily available.
I guess we all knew the dim-bulbs would get on the interwebtv but we thought they'd get the search engines figured out.
Do we ASSUME gravity, or conclude it?
If you’re going to question Gravity, you’ve got a LOT of work to do to come up with whatever IS going on that so closely matches THIS theory.
"We can never know anything" extreme relativist alienation, which can lead to belief in anything, possibly with disastrous consequences.
For the very basics, the effects of gravity are obvious in our solar system and in our galaxy. There is no reason to believe that other stars in our galaxy, or even in other galaxies, are not subject to the same laws of physics. The theory can make testable predictions and allows us to predict the behavior and drive our artificial satellites. Great other points mentioned by KeithInc...
So what you need is to publish your better explanation that also explains everything we know in terms of gravity and its effects, in reputable physics and astrophysics journals. If it gains traction and other scientists can reproduce your results, it might be credible and you might actually become famous.
But I also have a question. Who is it, that attempts to mislead you into rejecting well established, reliable knowledge?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
