I think your point was that believing in God is hard and believing in gravity is easy. I point out that observation of flying and falling objects does not support gravity as we know it to operate, but observation of the Creation confirms our faith in God every time we open our eyes. The reason you look at falling or flying objects and wisper "gravity" is because of the school indoctrination. You should be wispering, "God".

And I point out that observing the Creation does not support God as we believe He is, or as He operates. In fact, the more I look at Creation, the more I realize that we do not design or make anything that resembles it. So, the revelation that God's ways and thoughts are not ours, is quite obvious to me -- which leads me to believe that everything we say we know about God is probably not the way He is, or how He operates — but how we imagine it.

By the way, when the Japanese look at the Creation they don't see Creation, they see "God." They say God is nature, not God created Nature. We look at the Creation and see an expression of God's creativity, but not God. And that, my friend, is a belief based on our theology, as our interpretation of gravity is based on our belief in scientific method. So, in both cases, we have a different "system" that was devised by man. That much is clear by looking at various religions and "Scriptures."
