Actually, the latest news from those blaspheming astro-physicists is that there IS gravity in outer space, but not strong enough to pull in the EXPANDING universe. Whatever it is that initially pulled the Big Bang gases out to begin with is so powerful, it continues to slowly pull and rip apart the very fabric of the universe until every molecule and subatomic particle returns to nothingness (ie some call that nothingness God). As God wills, He will repeat the contraction and expansion of the physical universe as easily as breathing in, and breathing out. That breath of the Lord is nothing more or less than His Word.

um.. "whatever it is that initially pulled the Big Bang gases out to begin with"...??
Do you know what an explosion is? Do you have any idea what an explosion DOES?
No...didn't think so. *sigh*
The Sun may be a powerful gravity well, but -distance- does play a part. Our system's planets are too far apart for the Sun to drag in, but it does exert enough force to keep them orbiting it.
By the same token, the UNIVERSE is immensely big, and there's quite a lot of distance between most of the matter in it. Whatever's at the center can't pull it back.
Even a black hole cannot pull you in unless you get close enough to its event horizon.
"Actually, the latest news from those blaspheming astro-physicsists is that there IS gravity in outer space....."
That news is 300 yrs old you fucking moron.
We've known about gravity in space for a few hundred years now. If that's "the latest news" for you, I can see how you can't wrap your head around evolution.
God is nothingness? Have we been getting into the Buddhist texts again?
Gravity.
In the universe?
YA DON'T SAY!
"Actually, the latest news from those blaspheming astro-physicists is that there IS gravity in outer space...."
Wow, how cutting-edge can you get?
Say, did you also know that electricity and magnetism are related, and that disease is caused by germs rather than evil spirits or unbalanced humours? It's even possible that someday, people might develop vehicles that can fly! Those natural philosophers are coming up with the most amazing discoveries these days, aren't they?
I don't think it was the "breath of the Lord" to which fundies owe their creation. The Big Bang gases resulted from the Holy Farter.
(I do, however, agree that "nothingness" and god are one and the same.)
latest news? *latest news*? LATEST NEWS?
Damn, Newton's _Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica_ was published in *1687*, for dog's sake! Please, *please*, PLEASE! pay attention, you idiots!
"If they're blaspheming, why are you using their blasphemy in an attempt to prove your mythology true?"
I was wondering that myself, Mr. Spak.
I started to try and sort through the logic, but then realized there wasn't any.
I think I need to start a weekly newspaper that goes to home-schooled children every week. It would have giant tabloid like headlines declaring "new" discoveries.
"The Earth is Round!"
"The Earth is Moving!"
"Dinosaurs Died out Long Before Humans Existed!"
"Germs Can Make You Sick!"
well I certainly don't know about this being the "latest news" unless this was somehow posted in the 1600's, but this doesn't seem too fundie to me. They really only attribute god to being the beginning and end of the universe; the initiator of the big bang. Even though I find it a bit silly, I can live with that because there's at least not mountains of evidence to the contrary.
Well, there IS gravity in space, and its range is infinite.
It also happens to be the weakest of the known forces.

You are just learning this? How do you think the Earth stays in orbit of the sun, or the solar system in orbit of the galaxy?!
Whatever it is that initially pulled the Big Bang gases out to begin with
It wouldn't be pulled out, it would have been pushed, if anything!

Uhhh....? what?
[Actually, the latest news from those blaspheming astro-physicists is...]
Come on, man. Seriously. Science is *not* out to get you.
[...until every molecule and subatomic particle returns to nothingness...]
Whoa, dude. Either pick up a science book, or leave it to the professionals. Seriously. You're embarrassing yourself.
there is gravity EVERYWHERE! gravity is one body with mass attracting another. this applies to subatomic particles, planets, stars, everything. i believe it was newton who discovered this, or at least proposed it.
Ehem.
ECHEM!!
Sorry, had to clear my throat. Now...
GRAVITY IS A FUCKING WEAK FORCE!!!11!!ELEVEN!
Case in point:
...until every molecule and subatomic particle returns to nothingness (ie some call that nothingness God).
I thought God was a sentient being that can talk to people (Moses and Abraham), grant wishes and do all kinds of other crap like creating light.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
