mLine 10:
Line 10: − − − == Christianity and Gravity == − − Some Christians do not believe in gravity. This is because it does not line up with Biblical accounts of how the universe works. It is known that the Earth is flat, and sits upon foundations (set by God himself). Also that the sun and other planets revolve around the earth. However, if there were such a thing as gravity then the Sun and other planets would simply fall, they wouldn't float and revolve around the earth. Also, Jesus ascended into Heaven. Again, not possible if gravity is real. And so instead of gravity it is thought that God simply keeps everything in balance. He creates a force around most of us much like gravity, because its useful for us. However, he lifts that force when need be (ie for the planets to revolve, and for Jesus to get to heaven). −

Newton's [[Theory of Gravity]] was one of the earliest triumphs of modern [[physics]]. It now stands as both one of the most successful and most mysterious areas of that field. On one hand, the [[Theory_of_Relativity|General theory of Relativity]] is one of the most successful [[Scientific_Theory|scientific theories]] to date. On the other hand, how General Relativity can be reconciled with [[Quantum_mechanics|quantum physics]] remains an open question, and is one of the hotly contested areas of modern physics. Since the late 1970s [[string theory]] and its [[supersymmetry|supersymmetric]] relative [[superstring theory]] are the theories which many physicists see as the most likely paths to unifying gravity with the other fundamental forces (electromagnetism, the strong and weak nuclear forces).
