Poor analogy. Gravity can be measured, and various gravitational theories can predict how it affects matter and energy to a precise degree. This is not the case with God, (if He/She/It even exists in the first place).

The point is that you can’t see it, just as man can’t see air or wind. Scholars have confirmed the accuracy of God’s Word throughout history, just as they have confirmed the existence of Christ.

Whether or not a man chooses to believe in the Lord is another facet to the age old question, “Does God exist?”

It was also a decent analogy because granted we can predict the results of gravitational forces on objects, how it works continues to be a huge mystery. Few things in science are as man-behind-the-curtain-y

“Gravity can be measured,” [excerpt]
No, it cannot.

Its effects on objects, however, can be measured.
