No, not every question needs to be answered, but if you are making a positive case for something and fail to answer relevant questions, it puts the credibility of your claims into severe doubt. I take it, then, you are choosing to abandon your prior claims about the scientific method?
I will say that your current behavior strikes a familiar chord with me. We had up until recently a theist member who was known for repeatedly, when backed into a corner, finding disingenuous excuses for abandoning the discussion. His name was Roadrunner79. The last he was seen, he had decided to leave the forum, along with several other theists, after some rather intense questioning on my part. That you are, apparently, choosing to abandon discussing the issue with me unless I meet your rather arbitrary standards of evidence and argumentative support seems equally disingenuous and eerily familiar. Are you a sock of Roadrunner79?
Not at all. I gave you an option for continuing the conversation, and you still have that option. Present documentation from an accredited university or scientific institution that adheres to your belief and explains what you think is applicable to gravity. I've provided information from multiple sources, and to this point it's just you suggesting I should discount Newton. I'm happy to have friendly conversations, but it's important for information sharing to be reciprocal. If not it's just round-n-round and I'm not interested. Your personal doubt is inconsequential to me.
I don't know who "Roadrunner79" is and I don't care. It has literally nothing to do with this unless he shows up and starts talking about vampires, gravity, supernatural claims, metaphysics, or the scientific method. You past or present relationship with him is additionally inconsequential to me.
If you don't want to present external information, then feel free not to, but at that point I'm exiting the conversation due to disinterest in continuing it. Provide information, and there ya have it. I can evaluate it and share my thoughts, and maybe we'll even agree on some things so that we can move forward.
