But gravity has no substance. It cannot be directly measured or observed. It can only be detected through its influence on objects within its field.

If that’s the case, why isn’t that categorized as the supernatural? It is no more detectable than God is and in no other way than God would be.

Gravity differs from God in having consistent, measurable, quantifiable properties.

Any phenomenon having consistent measurable attributes is accessible to science.

I think you'd like to know that this post, in it's brief lifetime, has achieved quite an internet following. It has been nominated as the dumbest thing ever posted on the internet.
