>>There’s 1 huge problem with your comparison.

Gravity is intrinsically evident to EVERYONE, EVERY DAY, even the biggest ninkumpoop. It is intuitive - what comes up, must come down. There is no theorizing about that, not on this earth.<<

Proof you have no idea what a Scientific Theory is. The observed effect of Gravity is one thing — WHAT CAUSES IT?

But I appreciate your making my point for me.

The TTOG is less understood than the TToE — and your post points that out.

I understand theory. The point is, in practice, it’s obvious that gravity EXISTS and WORKS.

Meanwhile, it’s not even intuitively obvious that anything such as evolution should exist. You have to deliberately “theorize” on it, because otherwise you cannot prove to Joe Schmoe beyond doubt that it exists. If it were so obvious, paleontologists wouldn’t keep changing their minds about what different dinosaurs are or what they did or ate or how they stood (never mind the new revelation that apparently so many of these animals had feathers, which at least has real evidence). They can’t even test their theories. That’s all it is - theory. They often base things on what they know of existent animals. All they can REALLY say is, “this creature existed”.

I am a mechanical engineer; not a specialized science expert, but I do know something about science.

You had no point. You understand nothing but babble on everything.

Your gravity example proves it. Gravity is merely the invisible shape of space-time. Nothing ‘causes’ it; it simply exists as a manifestation of bodies.

I already know that you cannot understand that, as you have proven so many times in the past. If anyone wants to see a page of inane, idiotic posts, all one need do is view your posting history.
