2 objects of differing weights will fall at the same speed rather than at differing speeds.That's empirical observation...what's the theory?

As a non "scientist" I'm not sure of the theory's name. But he destroyed the Aristolean theory that the acceleration of falling objects was dependent on mass. I don't know if Galileo's "empirical observations" prove a theory of gravity, but they prove the basis for all sorts of useful things in the fields like aeronautics.

Unlike those involved in fields like electronics and microbiology, those involved in the field of evolution can point to what achievements? Let's face it, the theories of evolution that have been advanced are interesting, but because they may be slightly more plausible than Creationism why do I have to believe that Evolution is any more or less BS than God creating the Heavens and Earth in 7 days?

Just because Creationism or ID may be crocks of s***, why do I have to believe a bunch of ethno-anthro-botanists when they tell me I'm descended from a 3 foot tall australopithecus based on an examination of a jaw fragment and 1/2 a molar...?
