This seems to be in fact false. Gravity has not of yet been proven, because there is no way to prove it. Things fall through air, but things also fall through water, and mud, and concrete (situation depending)
so last night at Dairy Queen, something hit me, not literally, but I was thinking that when you drop an item the air molecules underneath it are not strong enough to support it, so they end up being pushed away or get stuck under the object as it falls through the space.
this is why a parachute is effective, because the shape of it collects air molecules and hangs on them, (a lot of them) thus slowing the person or thing parachuting down.
This also explains why things can fall through water, or mud or anything else (including dirt) excluding some shapes, fit to pass over or through them (i.e. boat, plane,) without sinking.
because the water or mud molecules are not strong enough to support an object, say a person, he/she will fall through it, until it hits somethign that can support it, (i.e.) dirt.
Now Planets as we grew up learning have their own gravitational pull. I do not believe this is the case, I believe that Planets have electromagnetic pulls. Think of magnet, since the center of the earth, and most other planets, and metal, or molten metal, it would have a electromagnetic charge; positive or negative.
We know that not all planets are on a line, like placing objects on a table, because they are in the vacuum of space. Therefor gravity cannot be, also gravity could not exist without a "up" and a "down" point, and in space, there is no "up" or "down" point.
the electromagnetic charge would explain with Saturn has those rings, and why planets have their place in the solar system, and why we have tracks and stuff like that. But since science does not explain away God, only it explains how God does things; I know with full confidence that it was teh Word of God that said for the planets to line up and for this type of thing to happen. Which is why we have an atmosphere, it is a barrier protecting us from a vacuum, because the 'breath of God is in my nostrils" (Job 27:3). Life as we know it, depends on Air. Everything has a soul, which is basically life, i.e. breath, everythign breaths, even fish (it is what the gills are for). God said he formed us "from the dust of the ground and breathed into [our] nostrils the breath of life, and [we] became a living being." (Genesis 2:7)
We all breath ari through our nostrils, so air has a connection with teh breath of life/breath of god.
Which is why our atmosphere keeps our air in adn the vacuum out. We ahve heard over the past couple years that global warming is ruinging our atmosphere, the truth is that the time of our planets destruction and the coming of jesus is closer, that even our planet itself is readying itself for it's consumption.
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. (revelations 21:1)
the book of revelations points to jesus coming a second time, most of revelations has already been fulfilled, and the last vials, and judgments are what is left. Our atmosphere is thinning becasue the time for Jesus is closing in.
