Gravity is not proven? I don't agree. they may not have proven how it works, but to deny its proven existence? Balderdash...

No...don't bother going into a bunch of psycho mumbo-jumbo scientific explanation of what a theory is versus a law....gravity exists. Period.

Your questions, by the way, are ridiculous, simple-minded, childish and nonsensical....your parody is a failure....

@krellin: if its proven then why is it just a theory, theorys mean they aren't proven. Gravity is just like evolution, its only a theory and has no place in our schools.

<*face palm*>

Our two resident trolls don't realize they are trolling each other.

<*bangs head on desk*>

@Fagnaur: I thought you muted me and left the site.

"Your questions, by the way, are ridiculous, simple-minded, childish and nonsensical....your parody is a failure...."
No shit sherlock, the point of this thread was to show how illogical Holy Crusaders thread was.

Yeah...I know....hence my reference of "PARODY"...I get it...and as a parody it's LAME. THAT's my point.

I love when I get criticized for supposedly not comprehending, not reading, not whatever by a bunch of douche bags that DON'T read what I wrote, DON'T comprehend, etc...

This thread +1

@krellin - We may read what you write, but gibberish is still gibberish and no one but the author of said gibberish can comprehend that particular gibberesh. ;-)

Gravity occurs when it is steeped in thickened boiling meat juices.

@krellin: however its not lame, I was trying to issue the point that gravity is accepted by everyone, or almost everyone, and however it isn't 100% proven, just like evolution.

The difference between gravity and evolution being theories is the anti-evolution voice is louder.

My goal of this thead was to show how ridiculous the evolution is just a theory arguement is.

I believe it achieved this goal and so its not lame...

Guys, can you do me a huge favour and stop responding to Krellin's feckless comments? I've had him on mute for a whole day now, and I'm really enjoying it, but you guys are spoiling things by reminding me he's still alive.

LOL! But Jamie, other than a brief rant of his the other day, krellin has been more sane, clean, and sober of late. so I'm giving him a pass on that particular tirade. Give him a chance, man. He isn't mapleleaf, after all.

Jamie - quit being such a childish prick. Strap on a pair and learn to take your forum beatings like a man, bitch.

We could say the same thing about TC, but the good news about him is that he sticks to his own threads.

@Fasces -- I understand what your GOAL was...I'm telling you that you fail it completely. When the object of a discussion is GOD, there is zero proof, zero evidence, zero measurable experience scientifically.

Thus, when in an attempt to mock a God thread you use GRAVITY as the anology to God, you fail completely, because gravity is measurable, it can be felt, it is undeniable.

My point is not that you should not make a parody...my point is that THIS particular parody fails.

Yeah Draugnar, the problem for me is that Krellin's rant in the latest abortion thread was hurtful, completely unjustified, and directed at personal friends of mine. I will never un-mute him, and if I found out he had died a painful and humiliating death, I would rejoice.

@ Fasces - Jeezus, is TC still here? I've had him muted for months.

@krellin: Well you clearly didn't understand the thread I was parodying then.

I wasn't comparing gravity to god, I was comparing gravity to evolution. Lets see if this comparison is justified:

Both are theories
Both have massive amounts of evidence, none of which is conclusive
Both are believed to by factual be a majority of the scientific community of said area.
Both are taught to school kids in ways that convince kids that they are fact and are laws, not theories.

The comparison of the theory of gravity and theory of evolution actually makes perfect sense in the context I was implying it to.

*overwhelming majority, not majority

@krellin - As Fasces pointed out (and the rest of us got when he posted it) He was mocking a *very* parallel thread posted by HolyCrusadtard. It seems your *own* comprehension failed on this one.

So, more gibberish about to come out? Or will you admit you just didn't see the parallel the rest of us did?

Consider the consequences of this "theory" if it proves untrue. What if gravity stops? Those poor Australians would all fall off the planet! Fortunately, those of us in the northern hemisphere would be safe and sound on top of the planet, where the ground would thankfully interrupt our fall.

No, you're actually wrong. Australia is the right way up. We'll be standing when you all fall off!

Actually, if gravity stopped, we would all go flying out into space from wherever we were out as we are in strightline motion being acted upon by gravitational force to keep us in contact with the planet. That results in a circular motion that, without gravity would revert to stright line motion causin us all to leave the planet at a gradual arc (from the ground's perspective) and sen us off into space. Of course, that is assuming that the planet itself and our own molecules didn't just seperate do to a lack of gravitational cohesion holding them together.

straight... I really can't type today.

draugnar the molecules of our body are not held together by gravity. They are held together by chemical bonds...which are electromagnetic bonds in general.

@Gobble - maybe the molecules are, but what of larger chunks? And what of the sudden vacuum of earth no longer having an atmosphere or us even being in it? Would we not either instantly boil our blood if on the sunlit side or freeze on the dark side until the earth moved from between us and the sun's radiation at which point we would thaw and our blood wouild boil.

But it was more a fun observation of Newtonian physics and its results if gravity suddenly failed.

We wouldn't be able to predict the consequences. The precise functioning of gravity is still not well known in physics. We know its properties but not where it originates or its links to the other fundamental forces, so it would be hard to posit what would happen if suddenly gravity disappeared.

And I think other things would be at issue as well. After all, a gravity well theoretically requires movement to exist. So, presumably, for gravity to stop, movement of all sorts would have to stop, include the rotation of electrons around their nuclei. Presumably, that would really funkify the chemical/molecular bonds as well as metallic/electromagnetic ones. Can't exchange electrons when they won't move.

Idiots at their best.

@gobbledy - It's The Onion. It's made up. Think Mad Magazine meets SNL/Weekend Edition and does it in a believable yet humorous fashion.

I love how the onion also came up with this idea, once again proves to Krellin that my analogy has merit.

"lack of gravitational cohesion holding them together. "
its not gravity that holds us together, its electromagnetism, the attraction between the protons and electrons of the molocules in out bodies. We would stay together.

We also wouldn't gear off to space since the counter balance force of gravity is always equal to that of gravity and is proven by Newtons first and third laws of motion. However the earth would no longer orbit the sun but would leave the orbit and gear of into space.

We would only remain on the earth for as long as our feet remain on the ground...

Except, fasces, the earth itself is rotating. so it would gear off the sun, but as it continued to roatet, our bodies and lose objects would continue to move in a straitght line causing us to eventually move off the earth if we didn't hold onto something becuase the friction against our own mass (feet, ass, back, whatever) would push us forward with the rotation but not have the gravity to keep us planted there. Gravity doesn't cause the earth's rotation. It's in motion and would continue to stay in that motion around it's own axis.

I hate the pricks on this site. My arguement is not we should not teach evolution. My point was all theories should be taught not just one as a fact.

Draugnar, compare the earth to a table. North Americans, for example, stand on top of the table. Australians stand on the bottom of the table. (This is not to say that the earth is flat, but bear with me). If gravity were to fail, us lucky North Americans would not fall straight down because we stand on top of the table. Gravity is superfluous for us. It's not necessary, but nice to have when we play basketball and baseball. It essentially exists to keep us Northies from jumping off buildings and to learn to wear hard hats. Southies, unfortunately, depend entirely on gravity to stay on the earth. Similar to those Australians standing on the bottom of the table, held due to gravity, they would fall off the bottom of the earth if gravity failed.

This is simply physics. I can't believe there is so much confusion.

The sad thing is a lot of people would believe you if you told them your "theory", 2ndWL :)

My theory is flawless. I don't let scientific evidence distort empirical evidence.

Gravity IS a law:

Pick a better analogy, please.

YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT THE GRAVITY. THEY EAT HUMANS DOWN THERE. DON'T FUCK WITH ME.

@HC - Your other "theories" are not scientific theories and have no basis in science therfore do not belong in a science class. Teach them in comparative religion, fine. Bu tnot *science*.

@HC Also teach ALL the creation myths then. How can you prove yours is more true then any others?
