Gravity Falls

No, I'm not talking about the cartoon.

There's a lot of funny ways theists defend the "invisibility" of their deity. Here's a good example.

According to a certain "Silver Heart," atheists doesn't believe in god, but they have faith in gravity. 

What?

I''ve noticed that theists (like Silver Heart) often compare god to "invisible" things like air, love or gravity. Is it because both can't be seen? 

Is there really a good, valid reason to compare god to gravity?

Also,  does it make a big difference if Newton was a god believer? 

Anyways, let's talk about gravity. Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation says that every material object attracts any other material object with a force that varies directly as the product of the masses of the objects and inversely as the square of the distance that separates the objects... Uh, let's make it simple. Gravity is an attractive force between objects that have mass. So there! In other words, when we talk about gravity, we  are not talking about an object, or a person, a sentient being.  We are talking about a force of attraction, a physical phenomenon and this physical phenomenon allowed  scientists to make valuable predictions. For example,  the law  was used to help discover the planet Neptune. 

Is god non-sentient? A physical phenomenon? If not, then why compare god to  gravity?

Faith in gravity? Did those scientists in NASA use faith and prayers to discover Neptune,? We know gravity exists because it can be justified by equations, and by observations - Apples fall. Arrows don't fly forever. Baseballs don't go flying forever after a home run hit.  You can't fly (without any machine to help you). 

The Sun’s can able to holds the planets and other objects

in the solar system in their orbits. Earth can hold the Moon in its orbit around Earth. We can do good predictions on the existence of new planets, stars, galaxies, Black Holes - Thanks to gravity. 

Now, can  we produce Silver Heart's god using any scientific equations? Can we use her bible to predict the movement of heavenly bodies? Can god hold the planets together? Hehehe! And to say that Earth hangs in nothing? Nothing and gravity are two different things - I guess god doesn't even know the difference.  

And what about Sir Isaac Newton (1642–1727) being a theist? Did Newton wrote in his books and journals that "God did it." when he was trying to find out why planets move in the way they move? Did he wrote "Jesus is the answer." when he discovered that white lights are really made up of different color spectrum? 

And do I really need to have a PhD in Physics to believe that gravity exists? Oh my... If I fall on my bed because of a bad dream, that's gravity.

In addition, the best thing about gravity is that you are not condemned to go to hell if you don't believe that gravity exist. Well, you can fall to your death for believing that you can fly since ( you believe that) gravity doesn't exist, but it's not gravity's fault if you're stupid.

Whether I believe it or not, gravity doesn't care anyway. I will not fly in the sky like Superman just because I don't believe gravity. Things will just keep falling, the planets will just keep on turning and the universe will just keep on spinning. Unlike to a so-called god claiming to be benevolent and all-powerful yet hides in dark clouds - while his self-appointed attorneys forces people to believe with threats of hell-fire and death. 

Ho-hum.

PS: As an added repartee, Silver Heart claimed that, "Historically, god can be proven by the eyewitnesses involved in the bible."

Bible is an eye witness account? Really?

OK.

So...

1. Who witness god when he created the universe?

2. Who was also the witness when Satan went to heaven to talk to god about Job?

3. Who witness god having a wrestling match with Jacob?

4. Who witness Jonah inside the big fish for 3 days?

5. Who witness when Mary was talking to an angel before being impregnated?

6. Who witness Satan and Jesus talking in the wilderness?

7. Who witness Paul talking to "Jesus" in the desert?

OK, OK... I think this will be another story.
