Cool! Clicked on the thread and wound up in a philosophical discussion about science. Here are some of my thoughts but I have have no science background to draw upon.
Gravity is not understood and remains a theory as some have stated. If you get into physics you will learn that we know very little about gravity. Once you get into how it impacts bodies in space, it can get weird. We fully understand the results here on Earth but we also have to understand that when it comes to physics, we're in our infancy.
No one has brought it up so I will. And I don't mean to get all "ancient alien" here but when it comes to the ascent of man (no gender bias intended) how is it that we cannot understand how the pyramids were built or how some of the stone masonry was accomplished in Peru. If you really want to bend your mind go to Cuzco and just start looking around. Things just don't add up in our (perceived) understanding of the advancement of human technology. I have been there and you just leave shaking your head and rejecting what we have been taught.
Additionally, considering the previous point, we like to consider evolution in a linear scale. We learn new things, they get passed down and humans advance. Pretty simple. Let's consider the fact that 150 years ago we were using horses for transportation and we now have rovers on the planet Mars. Ok, linear progression right? Now how is it that ancient people wandering around the desert managed to build the pyramids with such precision that we could not accomplish that today? The knowledge came from somewhere. Where? And where did it go? How was this knowledge lost and what was its source? If we went from riding horses to a rover on Mars in roughly 150 years and we (man) built pyramids with great precision roughly 5000 years ago.....what happened? As I stated, the ascent of man is not linear and man is not evolved from apes.
I don't have any answers, I only have questions.
