I want the theory of gravity banned from schools; it's just a theory
and can't be proven. Who has an example of gravity? I just don't believe it.

4. So.. like.. one tiny atom in my fingernail could be a
whole entire universe? That means that our entire universe could be just one tiny atom in the fingernail of some other giant being!... Could I buy some pot from you?

5. it's a consequence of the principle of least action
So refuting gravitation (where general relativity is a 2nd-order accurate approximation) in fact refutes a vastly larger number of models of phenomena.

Take the Lagrangian, Luke.

9. Worse then that...it's been refuted.
Check the Bible...Jesus (Son of the Intelliget Designer) rose to heaven the 3rd day, so that contradicts the gravity theory.

14. And we shouldn't mess with that witchdoctor stuff called "nuclear medicine
It's all a bunch of hooey anyway, counting on electrons to move and atomic particles to topple. Yeah, next time they have cancer, they should only be allowed to pray it away.

:sarcasm:

17. Actually, it's the Law of Gravity
meaning that it has been accepted as fact by the scientific community.

However, the Theory of Relativity is still fair game ;-)
