David: All true, but your analogy about God does not really fit. We know gravity exists, but cannot fully explain it. Fine. For me God cannot be absolutely proven, but from the evidence I've gathered He must exist. Faith must appear.-Actually, what we know is that objects of mass tend to move towards each other at a very specific rate. We know that size matters, in that particular instance. Gravity is currently just a made up word that we use to explain our observations of the world. We take it on faith that there is a fundamental force that pulls things towards each other, just like we take on faith that there is evolution, or there is a God. We haven't observed evolution any more than we have God or Gravity. We see a bunch of stuff happening that we can not explain without invoking these concepts, and choose to believe in them.
