    not tricky, just not subject to your opinion. Of course the answer is yes.

    if by wingnut you mean republican, not I.

    For the Nth time. The fact that George Bush was not a good President is not my opinion. It is a simple fact. Like the fact that gravity is responsible for keeping the Earth in its orbit around the sun.

    Get over yourself.

    This is something most of us learned in childhood and should not have forgotten. Isaac Newton said it all.

    The math is easy. Now if someone could explain the underlying mechanism…….

    “Is gravity responsible for keeping the Earth and the other planets in their orbits around the Sun? ”

    No. I am.

    Trick question. The sun revolves around the Earth, silly! The Bible says so.

    The socialists will figure it out before us.

    Apparently he was paying attention in his physics class either.

    Sheesh. It ought to be illegal to have to deal with something that stupid this early on a Sunday morning.

    Perhaps you could explain why there is gravity?

    The ‘final causes’ explanation is as valid as any scientific explanation, since there is no proven scientific explanation (unless you have one).

  10. Perhaps you could explain why there is gravity?

    Someone else who wasn’t paying attention, either. First you need to clarify whether you are speaking of gravity or gravitation. Second, you need to go back to your Newtonian physics which gives a (mathematical!) explanation of why there is gravity. Einstein provides major revisions to this, but Newtonian physics still works. You just don’t want to design an airplane with it.

    “Newtonian physics which gives a (mathematical!) explanation of why there is gravity

    Neither Newton nor Einstein gave any proven explanation whatsoever as to why gravity exists. We know the symptoms, not the cause.
