But gravity is generally not used to bash people of faith.

It was a few centuries ago. Galileo was arrested for discussing the orbits of the planets.

Science has not changed its mind about the planets, but religious people have ceased insisting on the nonsense of the sun orbiting the earth. They did at one time insist on a literal reading of the Bible and were quite clear about this.

Eventually religious people will come to grips with deep time and common descent. Behe, Denton and Dembski already have.

It doesn't say in the Bible that the sun orbits the earth. The Church had adopted the popular "enlightened" position on that issue.
