And there is no theory of gravity -- it is really "Intelligent Falling."
"Things fall not because they are acted upon by some gravitational force, but because a higher intelligence, 'God' if you will, is pushing them down," said Gabriel Burdett, who holds degrees in education, applied Scripture, and physics from Oral Roberts University.

Ah yes, a critical distinction.
I often wonder when more people will realize the irony of structuring their lives around notions that are, by definition, unprovable.

Science is a sham. I lost faith because science is merely a collection of assumptions and approximations--nothing more. If a TOE or GUT is found, then I shall reconsider.
Maxwell said:
As convenient as it is to believe what can be proven, not all truths have that characteristic.
Me said:
I disagree. I feel that for anything to be considered "truth," it must be proven.
Maxwell said:
That does not contradict what I said. What is true may need to be proven to be considered truth, but does not need to be proven to be true.

I disagree to agree. Agreed?
