Well, that opens up the possibility that even mathematics itself, seeing as it's a language used in describing orbital mechanics, somehow is able to account for angels ...
How would I even know the difference between lack of angels and angels in a mathematical explanation?
Exactly. You see the angels push things in just the way that the equations of gravity predict they will go. So every observation we make that verifies those motions also verifies the existence of those angels, right?
If you can add any random, non-testable, concept to any theory, then those angels and pixies are just as supported as any God.
Which is my point.......
