I don’t. I have no beliefs in the field of science, none, zero, zilch.

I am not credulous of the theory of gravity, I was talking about the universal laws of gravity only, the ones mentioned by you.

Nobody knows the cause of gravity, neither Newton, nor Einstein, no myself, I guess you do. And yes the rock attracted to the earth is part of the gravitational force, and yes my body is not sensitive enough to feel the earth attracted to the rock.

I have to observe the planets turning around the sun and write mathematical formulas describing the movements and check and calculate again if they are correct, and then expand these calculations to all celestial bodies.

The empirical evidence of the movements of the sun and the planets leads to the logical explanation of god Ra driving his horses etc. As I have to see planets turning around the sun I have to see species turning into another species and write mathematical formulas describing the movements of the species and do all other things the scientific methods tells me to do without even asking causes of such a movement of species until I observe the causes.

This time I don’t. I find this post of yours to be mature and inquiring in a very good part of it. What did happen?
