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.
Except that you're not actually proposing adherence to scientific standards as evidenced by your prior post. When the cause is supernatural, the ultimate cause is somehow critical to scientific inquiry. But when the subject is gravity, suddenly the ultimate metaphysical cause is irrelevant. I'm pointing out your inconsistency, which your latest claim of adherence to and support of the scientific method does nothing to resolve.
