It wasn't my claim, Tarrant. It was a direct C&P from an article by the bloke. Now hold on there you little sh*t. You accused me of contradicting this man. I did no such thing. But your previous assertion that all the matter and all the gravity in the universe has somehow been measured is a nonsense. And you have the audacity to say I don't know what I'm on about. I provided link references. What did you provided?

And apart from that I dont see it as a chance I'm taking.I dont understand everything and I doubt very much I ever will ( in this lifetime anyway ) .I can't act as though I do .I cant take all possibilities into account just in case one is right . As you get older your perceptions do seem to change somewhat and there are things I believe now that i didnt when I was younger.Things that feel as though they're right .I no longer question WHY I feel they are right because I can't answer it.So there's no point in raising the question

Secondly, no-one has ever measured gravity. No-one has ever even maned to say exactly what it is.
Correct me if I'm wrong anyone, but I thought there was no such thing as gravity.

Of course the phenomenon exists but not because of gravity, it's because of the curvature of time-space.

It most definately is a chance and your denying the knowledge that you have little idea of from where it came, ie what your now actualy questioning.That knowledge is the result of intent and by denying the knowledge you have nothing to entice intent with.When you use intent your no longer or need no longer to be preoccupied with all the crap

I'm neither denying the knowledge nor questioning it.I merely said I wasn't going to try and understand it . I dont understand the rest of what you said either

The report in the Telegraph demonstrates the Prof Dawkins doesn't know his stuff. Richard Dawkins, Oxford graduate in zoology with an MA and a D.Phil, an assistant professor of zoology at the University of California, a lecturer in zoology at Oxford, Professor of the Public Understanding of Science, Fellow of the Royal Society and recipient of many awards and prizes for scientific achievements, 'doesn't know his stuff'. And the universities of Oxford, California, the Royal Society and many scientists 'don't know their stuff'' by acknowledging the contribution to science of this nitwit while failing to respect the mighty intellect of Tarrant and the Young Earth titans. God save us from the blitherings of the arrogantly ignorant.

when your younger your preoccupied with stuff , as you age your energy levels decrease until there is nothing left of the mondane to be preoccupied with, your preceptions change

Many of these questions would be easier to understand if we didn't view matter as some unique tangible thing.

It's not so much that as that when i was younger i wanted explanations for everything and dismissed things I couldnt explain as not existing .It's the conceit of youth that you lose somewhat-that you know it all
