Physics is the study of nature, and is the science of studying the laws of God's universe

God in this context is completely irrelevant. If this is the case, we should also have God's Ball, God's incline,God's Scientists, God's Galileo. Having "the" instead of "God's" universe is less biased (aren't we trying to reduce bias). --Sm355 21:11, 18 March 2007 (EDT)

No, it's implied through the rest of the article. It's not irrelevant because God created it, He deserves the the credit. We are privileged to be able to study and figure out different aspects of His creation. That's what science is, the study of God's creation. --Ymmotrojam 21:14, 18 March 2007 (EDT)
Sigh. It is still not proven that God did create the Universe (The Bible does not count as proof). Its just as likely and provable that Xenu, Min, Ra, Thor, Mars, Vishnu or any other God you would care to think of created the Universe. So in an article about rocks for example, should we include the statement "God's Rocks" at the start of the article?--Sm355 21:20, 18 March 2007 (EDT)
Even if they did, this is a Christian site, so one wouldn't put those anyways. --Ymmotrojam 21:23, 18 March 2007 (EDT)
I have to agree with Sm355 about this. The articles whould be factual in every possible way to make this site a credible source for information. Because it is still unproven that the Christian god created the universe, the word "the" fits much better into the article. Also, for a good portion of the purposes this article might be used for, the word "God's" would be an unacceptable term(I'm talking about schools, etc.).NSmyth21:28, 18 March 2007 (EDT)
I disagree, obviously. The Bible does count as proof. Take the Messianic prophesies of Christ as just one example. That right there proves that God spoke to us humans through the Bible, and that the Bible is an accurate account of history. That would also imply that the Christian God created everything, and thus He deserves the credit. "the" couldn't fit less with the article. --Ymmotrojam 21:35, 18 March 2007 (EDT)
Shouldn't the definition have a source, anyways? Here's a good list of possible sources for definitions: [1]. I'll leave it up to y'all to find the one best suited. I am no physicist. Myk 01:13, 19 March 2007 (EDT)
Good idea. Genesis 1:1. --Ymmotrojam 01:16, 19 March 2007 (EDT)

Whether or not you believe it is "God's universe" or not has NO effect whatsover on the actual science of physics. Which, btw, is almost completely lacking from this article. And the Book of Genesis does not count as a reference for a scientific statement.

Actually, on this site the bible is a reliable source for... anything. But... where in Genesis is "Physics" mentioned? Myk 05:48, 19 March 2007 (EDT)
And, conversely, when was the last time you read a physics paper which referred to "God's Universe?" It's not a term of art in the field. Tsumetai 10:50, 19 March 2007 (EDT)

I see hardly any point, this page can compete with what is on the wikipedia page. Anything less qualified than that simply backslashes.

Gravity

I changed the formula to the correct typography. Now, why should gravity be here. Surely a link to a gravity article is necessary and sufficient? I don't want to edit in case someone has a reason for it to be like this. Fantomas 07:51, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
