What do you mean by "detect"? How is your feeling of weight different from your feeling of hot or cold, or from hearing.
Bear in mind that our inner ears are rather sensitive to the direction of gravity (or acceleration, if you will).
But the argument isn't about semantics. It's about whether a phenomenon is regular and quantifiable and subject to study by science.
The claim was made that gravity is just as elusive as God. I'm rather amused that Newton's icon of scientific investigation is being attacked by creationists. It's a real hoot.
Attacking Gravity? Lol- Since hwne is making hte claim that it can’t be detected ‘Attacking it”? Did you not see hte links above posted by Metmom? Even science hasn’t been able ot ‘detect it’ but they now htink they might be able to- Are they too ‘attacking Newton’s principles because they couldn’t previously detect it?
I think it’s a hoot that you folks again, try to make mountains out of nothing- Yep- We evil Creationists- We just ‘attack’ anyhtign and everything (A common accusation levelled towards us by those whos’e principles are being REFUTED with real science.)
Where is your "feeling of weight" in free fall? Gravity is certainly there... but can you detect it in any subjective or objective way?
That's not what it's about at all. That's what you're making it out to be.

No, to that as well.
My original comment....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.
Now if you want to call that elusive, you're certainly entitled, but I never said that. You are merely putting words in my mouth.
