The existence of Gravity has not been proven, just the existence of some kind of force.

SilverStar claims to be a PhD. The type of comments he makes further down in the thread, and the obvious lack of spelling and grammatical structure, put the lie to that claim.
"The existence of Gravity has not been proven, just the existence of some kind of force."
...which we call "gravity." Try to keep up.
You can't believe in God, just some sort of omniscient, omnipotent, omnibenevolent higher being with mankind's best interests at heart, who rules over Paradise and send unforgiven souls to eternal damnation.
But not God, oh Teapot, no.
Well, until we actually know what it is let's call it "Gravity" it's shorter then "Not falling up or sideways as God don't like that"
Is this a religious site? Youdebate.com? Maybe I jumped the gun. But I feel the "laws of nature" is just shorthand for "shit that happens all the time because it can't happen any other way until something changes"
It's not like some deity ordered it.
do you stick to the earth? yes? that's gravity.
Yes. Force.
The force of gravity.

Hang on a minute, chaps. There is actually a bit of sense to this quote (purely by accident, I'm sure). The effects of gravity on objects are of course well known. All objects with mass attract one another. But the means by which this attraction actually works cannot (yet) be observed. How, exactly, is this force exerted across a vacuum? The graviton remains undiscovered.
You mean "some kind of force that exists between any two massive bodies, is always attractive, and whose magnitude is proportional to the product of their two masses but inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them."
What do you propose naming it?
"The existence of buildings have not been proven, just the existence of structures of some kind."
Seriously, do these people even read what they type before hitting submit? The world has an over-abundance of stupid, and we are drowning in it.
This was my little brother's comment:

Newton spent many years studying 'some kind of force'. Alas, "Some Kind Of Force" was so hard to type on a 17th century keyboard (something about medieval capslock, I believe), and since the names Dave and George were already taken by his buddies,,,, he named it Gravity (or 'gravity' when that damned capslock was acting up again).
"The existence of Gravity has not been proven, just the existence of some kind of force."
...and that force is called Gravity .
Derp.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
