Vic,
Are you saying that most science does not recognize "laws" of nature; or just you? I'm not sure saying gravity is a law gives it too much ontology. "Law" in this sense only means universally applicable. And absolutely nothing can be proved absolutely, but we're pretty gosh-darned sure gravity exists. How about this? Not all natural phenomena are natural laws, but all natural laws are natural phenomena. The two are not mutually exclusive. -Mark _____ mark robert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Why do you deny that gravity is a law of nature? Pretty much all > of science would disagree with you. What would you prefer to call > it? gravity is a phenoma. you apply laws to phenoma because they have some sort of conistency and predictability. its not like gravity is alaw to be discovered. its a phenomena to be described. to say gravity is a law gives it ontological weight that cant be proved. gravity is a theory, nothing less nothing more.
