I musta missed that.

Newton had no explanation for gravity, other than it seemed to be related to mass.
Einstein posited that space is curved by mass, which was actually observed, and that is what causes what we experience as gravity, because our speed relative to the curve of space is not great enough to propel us out of it.
Quantum Mechanics posits, among other things, that mass is conveyed through what is commonly referred to as the Higgs Boson, which they believe they have also observed, though more analysis is forthcoming.
Meanwhile, only neo-darwinism’s “hopeful monster” theory could explain a shrew giving birth to a bat. but then, what does the bat mate with to propagate its species, unless, by another even grander miracle, another shrew has given birth to another bat of opposite sex in the same general place at the same general time and that the two hopeful monster bats were able to mate. This is more ridiculous than even nature deities.

When you put it that way it really does sound ridiculous.
I musta missed that.
You can read about it here, if you're curious.

Yes, I know. But "something to do with mass" is perfectly fine for the vast majority of what people do and encounter in their daily lives, which was my point. I know that gravity bends light, but the effect between me and my TV is negligible.
I know it's also true that most people don't encounter evolution's effects in their daily lives either, outside maybe of when they get a flu shot. But the idea seems to threaten some people's faith in a way that GR doesn't.
Your last paragraph is irrelevant because nobody posits that a shrew ever gave birth to a bat.
Time to go!
