Evangelical Scientists Refute Gravity With New 'Intelligent Falling' TheoryAugust 2005 KANSAS CITY, KS—As the debate over the teaching of evolution in public schools continues, a new controversy over the science curriculum arose Monday in this embattled Midwestern state. Scientists from the Evangelical Center For Faith-Based Reasoning are now asserting that the long-held "theory of gravity" is flawed, and they have responded to it with a new theory of Intelligent Falling. Rev. Gabriel Burdett (left) explains Intelligent Falling. "Things fall not because they are acted upon by some gravitational force, but because a higher intelligence, 'God' if you will, is pushing them down," said Gabriel Burdett, who holds degrees in education, applied Scripture, and physics from Oral Roberts University. Burdett added: "Gravity—which is taught to our children as a law—is founded on great gaps in understanding. The laws predict the mutual force between all bodies of mass, but they cannot explain that force. Isaac Newton himself said, 'I suspect that my theories may all depend upon a force for which philosophers have searched all of nature in vain.' Of course, he is alluding to a higher power." Founded in 1987, the ECFR is the world's leading institution of evangelical physics, a branch of physics based on literal interpretation of the Bible. According to the ECFR paper published simultaneously this week in the International Journal Of Science and the adolescent magazine God's Word For Teens!, there are many phenomena that cannot be explained by secular gravity alone, including such mysteries as how angels fly, how Jesus ascended into Heaven, and how Satan fell when cast out of Paradise. The ECFR, in conjunction with the Christian Coalition and other Christian conservative action groups, is calling for public-school curriculums to give equal time to the Intelligent Falling theory. They insist they are not asking that the theory of gravity be banned from schools, but only that students be offered both sides of the issue "so they can make an informed decision." "We just want the best possible education for Kansas' kids," Burdett said. Some evangelical physicists propose that Intelligent Falling provides an elegant solution to the central problem of modern physics. "Anti-falling physicists have been theorizing for decades about the 'electromagnetic force,' the 'weak nuclear force,' the 'strong nuclear force,' and so-called 'force of gravity,'" Burdett said. "And they tilt their findings toward trying to unite them into one force. But readers of the Bible have already known for millennia what this one, unified force is: His name is Jesus." If there were any more evidence of how stupid Christians are then I don't know what it is - the number of words necessary to refute such utter ignorance beggars belief - and I am not prepared to utter them - because anyone who is sane enough to understand why gravity is explained as it is in scientific law - will see the above for what it is - a facile defence of errors by spouting ignorant rubbish. Some people seem to think that because a scientist has a belief in God that this somehow gets the idea of God off the hook and makes it less silly - not so - all it does is make the scientist look more silly. Someone of the calibre of Newton who happened to believe in God was a victim of his age and was spurred to do science to understand "God's creation" - this in itself does not lend credibility to the idea of God - it only detracts from the credibility of the scientist and his ability to reason,for if he had used the same scrutiny that he used apon nature to deduce how it worked - he would be led inevitably to the logical absurdity of thinking that God was behind it all.
