I agree ... do you have any links to these studies? I'd really love to see some evidence for what, until now, has just been my opinion.

Same question to you Sir (i.e. what evidence?)
Kyu
Although, Dawkins talks about it in TGD, so I guess I could look up where the evidence for it is there.
But I mean I don't check all the details of the evidence for the proof of gravity.
