Do you think that it is possible that evolution did not occur?
Do you think that is impossible for the power of 2 in Newtonian gravity to be more precisely expressed as slightly different from 2, such as 2.00000001?
Do you think that is impossible for the power of 2 in Newtonian gravity, whereby the gravitational force is proportional to 1/r<sup>2</sup>, to be more precise with an exponent that is slightly different from 2, such as a gravitational force proportional to 1/r<sup>2.00000001</sup>?
