There is hardly a more invalid analogy/argument/claim that the evol;utionist's comparison of their so called theory of evolution to the law of gravity.

Which "Law" of gravity? Newton's theory of gravitation? The one that, while having loads of evidence for its general operation, was unable to explain certain astronomical events with the correct precision? Or maybe Einstein's, that corrected some of the flaws that existed in Newton's theories, but still can't explain the exact operation of gravity at the quantum level?

Your mistake is attributing the status of "law" to any scientific theory. There is no "law" of gravity, because the theories are still being modified even today. No physicist worth a damn argues that there is no such thing as gravity, but none of them can tell you exactly how it is structured at both the macro- and micro-levels. Kind of like biologists and evolution...

Law of gravity is a sort of cultural term, is it not? It is a 'law' in the sense that it's functional effects are undeniable, while all that is represented as evolution is facetious, ridiculous and refuted by even the simplest observation of life.

//There is no "law" of gravity.//

I agree. All of these theories and laws are only our approximations (in the subset of the measurable pieces) of the phenomena that we can measure.

So scientists should give up their arrogance, and quit insisting that their current models are factual true and real.

Does this mean throw science out the window?? NO.

Ancient man made advances on what we now ridicule, and a hundred years from now the current theories will look equally silly.

None of our theories will ever approach what truly is, and yet somehow we will make advance on/or with them.

And once again HE will be hidden beyond 'the evidence'
