Except it would lack gravity.  

What part of gravity confuses you? Do we have a member of the Intelligent Falling community with us?

You are...? I mean, it really looks like you are. Perhaps you have some evidence of your deity of choice...? Something that hasn't been done to death a billion times over by cheap hacks calling themselves apologists. Right now I'd be thrilled to see something new and not the same regurgitated rubbish. Hoping against hope here.

Proving God's existence wasn't the goal of launching this thread.

But along the way, I pointed out that God is the most sane explanation for the so-called "forces" of nature such as gravity, electricity, magnetism, electro-magnetism, and nuclear attractions.

 Gravity is not defined as tangible matter. If it is an intangible, it cannot push tangible matter. Common sense.

No, you leaned on an axiom you pulled from your ass. That's not the same thing.

And here's the thing, aside from your bogus principle, we have tons of evidence of the way the world works, and it isn't a trickster god behaving mysteriously.

Yeah just like my disbelief in square circles. I pulled that stance from my ass.

OR, maybe I just relied on common sense.

Really?

Drops a safe onto Jal and watches as it accelerates

Looks pretty tangible to me. Do you tang it pulling you down right now? Perhaps your definition is wrong.

You define gravity as tangible matter? You could pour me a cup of gravity?  In that case, tell me what vitamins and minerals it has.  Could prove excellent for my health.

Ri-ight. Pull the other one. It has bells on.

Do you often invoke Bronze Age Canaanite deities who enjoy child sacrifices when something sticks to your fridge? Is that your definition of sanity?

Do you often change the subject when you don't like what is being said?

Could you define "tangible" for me? You appear to be confused.
