I simply posted Newton's law of universal gravitation and you had to argue about it.

The discussion of gravity began when someone mentioned that gravity is only a theory. You brought up the "law of gravity", and an explanation was given as to the difference between "theory" and "law" in science. I asked if you hadn't been given that clarification before (as I did recall you being one of the people who had received such an explanation in the past, but I admit to having a faulty memory and am still not certain). You then posted the text of the law of gravity and I, keeping with the previous discussion on the difference between "theory" and "law", explained how the "law" of gravity is not the same as a "theory" of gravity.

Thank you for your concern. No need to educate me on the definitions of 'theory' and 'law'. I have a perfectly adequate dictionary.
