We know gravity is "force", and knowing the root cause is irrelevant to apply it to the natural world. It's just a subject for future study. Scientific study in regards to anything is meant to be expansive, not exclusive.
If you want to believe otherwise, then great, but I like to stick to the basics. Respectfully it's unlikely anybody is going to convince me that a vampire (that turn into bats), wolfman, or specter can be included in scientific study as subjects.
Did you even pause to consider how your current complaint fits in with my argument? You're confirming what I argued, dumbfoundedly thinking you're not.
First, I like you and think you're intelligent. I've read other comments you've made and I think you're right about a lot of things, but we're just going to have to agree to disagree here. So don't feel like I'm discounting you altogether.
What I said isn't a complaint. It's just adherence to a set of standards. If I begin to deviate from those standards just because someone insists I should due to them believing they have a better way, then they must show me why their alternate standard is better and/or optimal. In this case, I'm going to stick to the standards of scientific study which don't include making claims about magical vampires that walk through walls and turn into bats. On the other hand, gravity is an excepted phenomenon in the natural world. We may not know everything about it, but we don't have to. That just means there's room for further study.
