-Remember, Gravitation is a well-established scientific theory

You are aware that Einstein disproved Newton's gravity theory, showing it to be no more than pseudo-scientific crap, just like all other "science" Newton dabbled in?

This is just like the vaccine-autism thing, you scientists all took that as fact until someone bothered to show you it was all made up, and even then it took a decade to retract the articles, and if we take the gravity hoax as precedent it will be decades more that the vaccine-autism link will be featured in school books, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

Re: Merry Grav-mass, Landover

What I would like to know is what do atheist think happened before Newton supposedly invented gravity? Before 1687 did people just have to hold on?

I shall pray for God to drop on an apple on your head from a great height and crush your skull as punishment for mocking His Special Day in such a cruel fashion.

Well, Newton is a nice pick for Atheist. Newton was alchemist who believed he can turn things to gold and believed in astrology. True scientist...

Re: Merry Grav-mass, Landover

What's a Newton?

Edit: Just did the google and I see he's some old guy who is celebrated because he tried to describe how God set up the world but was too lazy to buy a KJV.

There's nothing quite so blasphemous as an atheist at Christmas.

Re: Merry Grav-mass, Landover

Since you love Newton so much I suppose you agree with his quote

"Yet one thing secures us what ever betide,/ The scriptures assures us the Lord will provide."

or are you a cherry picking atheist?

Merry Grav-mass!

On December 25, Isaac Newton's birthday, we celebrate the existence of comprehensible physical laws. Remember, Gravitation is a well-established scientific theory, but Intelligent Falling is just religion pretending to be science.
One way to celebrate Grav-mass is to decorate a tree with apples and other fruits. Glue them or attach them, but not too well! The idea is that occasionally a fruit should fall. Put them on the tree no more than 2 feet up, so that they won't get damaged or hurt anybody when they fall. Investigating and perfecting the methods for doing this is a great way expose a child to the process of scientifically studying the behavior of the physical world.
Another way to celebrate Grav-mass, in a group, is by telling each other about scientific knowledge and understanding, or discussing what kind of experiment could answer an unresolved question about the world.
We have one Grav-mass carol, We Three Laws. If you know of any others, please tell me about them: rms at gnu dot org. Other songs about science are also suitable to play or sing on Grav-mass;
The Ten Days of Newton.

• In Spanish: ¡Feliz Gravidad!
• In Bahasa Indonesia: Selamat Hari Gayaberat.
• In Chinese, 牛诞节快乐！.
• In Greek, Kαλά Bαρυτούγεννα (Kala Varitouyenna).
• In Polish, Grawiazdka.
• In Italian, Buon Gravitale.

I think the idea of Grav-mass was conceived by science fiction writer James Hogan.
Here is a video Grav-mass greeting.
