However, if objects that had more mass and greater density started falling up, we'd know that our understanding of gravity needed serious revision.

Gravity? HERETIC! Gravity is a theory, not a fact.

I shall pray for you.

"Facts" are just things believed quite strongly to be true. There are no facts in science. So, neener, neener, neener.

Tell that to the sillies... *sighs*

I'd rather not. They'd likely see it as a weakness of science, rather than its greatest strength. Then they'd be all - so, science is not capable of letting us truly understand the world. Let's instead proclaim to just know everything and tell those who disagree with us that they are insufficiently enlightened. We can tell, because were they sufficiently enlightened, they'd agree with us.

And that's just not a fun conversation to be in.

Hypocrites, every one of them. They accept the principles of radioactive decay when it suits them, but not when it comes to carbon dating. They accept that we can breed animals and plants (and we make new ones every so often, this is an ongoing process), but don't agree with evolution because... why, exactly?

Sorry, this is my rantling.
