Intelligent Attraction (new theory of universal gravitation)



http://www.intelligentattraction.com/">The Theory of Intelligent Attraction

The theory of intelligent attraction (IA) holds that certain behaviors in the universe are best explained by an intelligent cause, as opposed to the more commonly accepted gravitational theories. IA is thus a scientific disagreement with the core claims of physicists and other scientists around the world who believe (in their heart of hearts, no doubt, many of them) that Newton and Kepler have explained all there is to explain and that the apparent design explanation for mass-attraction is an illusion.

IA is controversial because of the weight of its evidence, and not because objects with the same mass weigh more (or less) on different planets in our solar system. IA proponents believe that science should be conducted without regard for the so-called logical consequences of their claims, and without concern for political correctness or race relations.

Even eminent scientists such as Charles Darwin may have been mistaken. For example, in The Origin of Species, p. 649, he says, "There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity , from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being evolved."

Why not posit that Gravity Fairies are responsible for holding all of us on this wildly spinning orb of ours?

4. Gravity fairies - that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Angels bring us gravity, not fairies.

Fairies are the ones that make lightwaves work.

Pixies make photons.

:eyes:

Gravity fairies. My God, what nonsense.

6. Heresy!
I don't want to get into a whole big thing here, but angels are imaginary. Got it?


Fairies are the real deal.

7. Gravity fairies? I suppose that they're invisible as well?

9. Why not claim that invisible particles, called gravitons, that have the unique ability
to affect all other objects in the universe instantaneously and simultaneously over any distance but have never been observed are responsible?

Neener neener neener :P

14. Charles Darwin was a deeply religious man who
pretty much regretted to inform the world of his findings regarding evolution. He believed in the science of what he had documented and discovered, however.

A very conflicted dude, he.
