I don't believe in God, I believe in Gravity

Your expectation is almost certainly wrong. The writers of Genesis, and essentially everyone else up until Isaac Newton's time did not think of gravity as being a universal attraction wherein everything attracts everything else. Almost certainly those writers did not understand that the sun and moon were attracted to the earth by gravity, and almost certainly you do understand that.Yes, they understood that objects on earth when raised to a height tended to return to the lowest point possible. But could they understand that exactly the same phenomenon explains the earth staying in orbit above the earth? Surely not. I'm sure you can do better than that.

Your statement was about "the effects" and not "one" or "an" effect. If in fact, you know that an effect of gravity is that the earth orbits the sun, and the writers of Genesis are unaware of that effect, then your expectation that "the writers of Genesis understood the effects of gravity about as well as I do [ringo does]" was wrong.I agree that it is a valid point that you don't routinely talk about gravity, and that we can expect that the writers of Genesis acted similarly. But the counter to that point is that you usually aren't writing about the creation of the universe, and the sun and the moon as the writers do in Genesis.I could imagine being at a baseball game with Sean Caroll, Einstein and Cavediver and not bringing up the subject of gravity (well maybe after the second dirty glare from one of them), but I certainly don't imagine continuing to avoid the subject if we actually stated talking about the origin of the universe.I cannot believe I am actually trying to prove against someone's own efforts that the someone is not an idiot.Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

All facts are accurate including those few that appear in a Sponge Bob cartoon. So yeah, I'll grant you your tautology.
