Science presumes gravity exists, but cannot cause gravity. We believe gravity exists based on experiences of it, but cannot prove it without arguing in circles. You're an idiot. Gravity is not "a Law imposed upon the universe". If it is, then which law is it? Newton's? No? Quantum Gravity? No? The curvature of spacetime predicted by General Relativity? No? None of these? But they all "model it" with some degree of correctness with their various "laws".
Why don't you just explain to me how your law of gravity works then. How do two objects "know" they are close to each other and should be attracted towards each other? Does the universe really perform a calculation at every interval of planck time?

Which assumptions are these, precisely?

Ah, you're wrong on this one. It is entirely patterned behaviour.
 Do I smell a greneknight here.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

I'd better inform you that Anglican most certainly does NOT mean Episcopal. In fact, just the other day I was talking with some friends of mine, and we were talking about a certain Uniting Church here in Canberra that follows the teachings of Bishop Spong. It was pretty funny actually, one of them said word-for-word "that's terrible [pause] there's a church that follows bishop spong?" in total disbelief, I could hardly contain myself from laughing, I didn't say what I was thinking. I was thinking "actually, there's several - that's why he's a bishop", anyway I said "well that's the Uniting Church for you, they pretty much follow whatever the f- they want to".

A criticism that applies equally to every christian denomination.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

You think its idiotic to believe a LAW of Gravity is imposed on the Universe? The fact you doubt this is idiotic. You should be embarrassed.
Any epistemic description of gravity has NO BEARING ON THE FACT gravity has an objective ontological reality apart from differing theoretical descriptions.
Quote: Mathematics cannot be proven by science. Science rests on certain mathematical assumptions we all reasonably hold to be true, but cannot be proven scientifically without arguing in circles.
Which assumptions are these, precisely?
The assumption that a rational reliable mathematical order exists for one. Science cannot prove this. Science rests on this assumption. Are we not reasonable to believe mathematical truths - just because science cannot prove them?
Idiot.

Then prove rape is morally wrong by scientific testing.
