Dude. Gravity is a scientific law. SURELY you knew this.
Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation attempts to describe the effect of gravity via equation. Because it does so imperfectly, it has been usurped by general relativity. As such, referring to anything pertaining to gravity as a "law" is an unscientific misnomer.
Surely you knew this?

They are still teaching it in our colleges and Universities as a law, so if you have a problem with it, you need to take it up with them, maybe?

In your response to me you referred to it as Newton's Law.....wow.

Now, as for your post....are you saying because Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation is imperfect, so they do not refer to it as Law? Hmmmm, then why don't they call Evolution Law? Is it imperfect?
Isn't that my whole point? Thanks for proving my point!
