Are we to say that a gravitational field, for instance, is a spirit???

No Stultus, we are not to say that. Nor any kind of field for that matter.

[ Are we to say that a gravitational field, for instance, is a spirit??? ]

Hard to say.. Nobody knows what gravity is exactly..
Does a spirit have gravity?.. man you ask the hard questions...

Seems that gravity is related to "Light" matter/energy..
"Dark" matter/energy we know zero about.. could include gravity, we dunno...

I would say there is a buttload of things we don't about..
However; spirit attracts spirit.. there is polar attraction to spirit.. and in that sense magnetic.. Some might say the "Holy Spirit" is watching you right now.. and senseing your polar attraction.. and quantifing the strengh of your spirit.. What is, is, and what ain't, ain't..

Jesus is either who he said he was, and still is...
or wasn't who he said he was, and still isn't..

Both the easiest and hardest question ever posed to a human..
Is Messiah a mental construct or a savior?..

Actually I disagree. The gravitational field, and all of the 4 forces (strong, weak, electomagnetic, gravitational) do indeed exhibit the properties of "spirit". But these ar not the only spirits/forces that exist, I believe.

In times past the effects of magnetism would indeed be considered a spirit influencing matter.

Modern science, string theory for instance, indicates that there are 10 or 11 actual dimensions, not just the 4 we comprehend.

It is very reasonable to suggest that additional fields and forces exist in these unknown dimensions, and also to suggest as many scientists have that those forces can and do interact with our 4 dimensions.

For instance in a discussion I had with Dr Sylvester Gates (father of supersymmetry theory) we discussed the idea that there is energy transfer between the other dimensions and ours, possibly even by particles.

We also discussed the possibility that dark matter, which is pulling galaxies away faster and faster, may actually be a function of extra-dimensional forces (undetectable by our current technology), which accounts for the fact that if dark matter was matter it accounts for about 98% of the entire matter in the universe, yet we cannot detect it?

There are 6 dimensions we know nothing about. Some of those dimensions will likely be timeless.

I know also the Holy Spirit exists, within many of us, from personal experience. It is real. Christ is real, and the true Messiah. I am also an evangelical and have as much (more)personal proof of that as any scientific proof today.

I don't have all answers about cosmology (I am doing physics research in cosmology and space-time at a university), but there are no questions that God fears to have answered, as long as we are sincere in our pursuit of knowledge, wisdom and understanding (as He asks us to pursue).
