[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yet humans and science may never know everything about gravity. We don’t have complete knowledge about gravity, nor have we invented the instruments to measure or find out everything about gravity. Gravity remains a “puzzle” to our scientists. [/quote]

But what we do know about gravity is not pulled out of some bronze age book of myths.  You get that, right?  You understand the difference, and that there really is no comparison to be made?[/quote]

NP. Do you know if gravity existed before the big bang?  Or was it created by the big bang?[/quote]

No one knows what existed before the big bang.  Yet.

Why do you ask, and what is your point, as this is not an astrophysics or cosmology forum?[/quote]

It seemed kinda related to the previous posts, but maybe not. :cry: [/quote]

So you don't wish to clarify your point?  It wasn't related to religion?[/quote]

Well if it existed before the big bang maybe it is eternal. Like God is supposed to be.  Maybe Gravity and the other 3 fundamental forces are God.   But then I don't think that explains life on earth.  Life on earth is made possible by gravity, but it cant be explained just by gravity.  So I have no point to clarify really.  Not looking for an argument.[/quote]

No one knows if there even was a "before" the big bang, or if anything, including time, existed before it.  However fascinating this stuff seems (and it is so to me too), this is an area that is difficult for the most learned and brilliant cosmologists, and that has no practical use for any theological basis.  When people try that you get into ridiculous Deepak Chopra "quantum this and quantum that" nonsense.  I suggest you keep your spiritual and your scientific lives separate because one will not support the other.

You say [i]"But then I don't think that explains life on earth"[/i] and that is 100% true.  Abiogenesis is a different topic altogether.

As for [i]" Maybe Gravity and the other 3 fundamental forces are God"[/i] well that to me is "defining god into existence" like saying my coffee mug is god and my coffee mug exists, therefore.... It's also similar to the "god of the gaps" concept which attributes everything we don't understand to god until we understand it.

You can read populist books by Hawking and Lawrence Krauss which try to cover this ground, but I will warn you in advance, they are hard reading as they go, and both those men are/were atheist.[/quote]
