I have a theory, if science can't get it's theories to be known as facts,why bother. I call it gravity, since I know it's a fact. No need to add theory to it any more unless you just like the sound of your own voice. If I had to hear things from your perspective, I would push a pencil through both ear drums!

Please do, it'll be fun! : )
And just what "theory of gravity" are you talking about? The theory proposed by Aristotle, Newton's theory of gravity, what about Einstein's theory (general theory of relativity), or the various quantum/string theory variants that scientists are working on right now?
Have you pushed that pencil through your eardrums yet?
"I have a theory...."
No, you don't.
Well, then, since Newton's Theory of Gravity is "just a theory," go float off into space somewhere and leave us sane people alone plz, kthx.

Before you talk about theories.
Either:
1. There is nothing between your ears.
2. You fail in math.
3. You fail in English.
4. You are a complete moron.
No-ones discovered the graviton. Something pulls mass together and creates fields that attract or react to others. It's called gravity but it's not been absolutely proven.
The universe operates under it's influence and scientific predictions have bore it out. Still a theory as Steven Hawkings will tell you. It's the one that bugs his inquisitive mind the most, his biggest problem is he has to provide the unifying theory for everything to absolutely prove gravity.
I'll be happy to stick with 42.
Which fact of gravity do you believe?
1. Things fall down?
Source: Common Sense
Problem: Why doesn't the moon fall down?
2. All massive objects are attracted by a force related to the inverse square of their separation?
Source: Newton
Problem: How do the objects interact without touching or exchanging anything?
3. How about mass and energy distort space-time?
Source: Einstein
Problem: Not everyone loves Christoffel symbols.
“I have a theory, if science can't get it's theories to be known as facts,why bother.”
That’s not a theory.
That’s not even a hypothesis.
Just bitching.
And you don’t know what a ‘theory’ is.
“I call it gravity, since I know it's a fact.”
The theory of gravity is not a fact, though, just an idea to explain why things fall (which are facts).
“No need to add theory to it any more unless you just like the sound of your own voice.”
Gravity is not constant across the Earth’s surface.
the ‘theory’ should explain why.
And gravity is not the same on the Moon. Or halfway to the moon. Or in low orbit.
The theory would help us figure out what gravity will be in areas we haven’t been, yet.
“If I had to hear things from your perspective, I would push a pencil through both ear drums!”
That’ll show me.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
