Nope. The laws of gravity are evidence. They can be observed over and over and over again. They are totally scientific.

The 'theory of gravity' is not evidence. It is metaphysical because it attempts to explain evidence.

What makes evidence is the *observation*, NOT the 'interpretation'. That's why you guys incorrectly believe evolution is 'evidence-based', you are operating from a false definition of evidence.

It's not a game. It's deadly serious. You just can't see it.

So do you oppose the teaching of the Theory of Gravity, or consider it non-scientific? In fact, are you willing to throw out all science that is not based on direct observation?

you are operating from a false definition of evidence.

Maybe you can clear all this up for us then. What is your deinition of evidence? References, please.

I'm not sure what the "it" is to which you refer, but the game I mentioned is the one where you make any evidence-based assertion and I refute it with a fantastic baseless equally-valid explanation.
