Newton's math was very, very, VERY close, but not quite perfect, because he was missing details that couldn't be observed on anything smaller than trying to predict the orbit of the planets around the sun. And even then, his math was only noticeably wrong for Mercury, by a very small fraction of a percent (He was off by 43/3600 of a degree per century). Einstein's General Theory of Relativity corrected this.

I'm currently reading Hawking's "A Brief History of Time", which goes into a lot of this, including the Big Bang. I highly recommend it. I think you're underestimating how much evidence there is for the Big Bang Theory.

The Big Bang theory is a silly Catholic theory about creation. If you think about it you will see how ridiculous it is. It only works for a supernova and it can't be applied for the entire universe.

If you don't believe in gravity go step off of a high bridge, cliff, or building without a parachute. If you don't end up smashing into the ground you may have a point. But I'll bet that you will fall like a rock and kill yourself. BTW, how do you explain how things always eventually fall toward the ground?
I will once again recommend Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time", since he explains the Big Bang a lot better than I could. And why you think it has anything to do with Catholicism is beyond me.

As for gravity, you totally missed the point of what I was saying. We were talking about the accuracy of scientific theories, and rsb tried to claim that gravity is a law, not a theory. So I pointed out that it's a theory which is accurate enough to use it to explain anything less extreme than Mercury's orbit around the sun, but it's still just a theory. And it's actually not perfect, as its very tiny inaccuracy regarding Mercury proves. But for anything here on Earth, it's close enough for its inaccuracy to not be measurable. Again, the point was that gravity is "just" a theory, but that well established theories are extremely accurate, even when every detail isn't explained yet, and they're sometimes still useful even when there's a detail that's been proven wrong.
That's MISTER Godless Vegetarian Tree Hugging Hippie Liberal to you.
