gravity in of itself is a joke. the way it reads you would think that objects of more mass have more gravitational pull than those of less mass, but if that is the case then why do we see the moon obiting the earth and not the sun???? or why does jupiters 'gravity' have more effect on meteors than the suns 'gravity'? scientists must be blind to these occurances...howsad...

Alejandro, believe me, you don't have to be a physics student for that to hurt your brain. I've not studied physics since high school, and I had to take two aspirins after I read it (probably from banging my head on my desk...).
Well, I was planning on going into Astrophysics, but AngryNotice just disproved gravity, so I guess I'm out.
I haven't had any physics since high school either, and it wasn't one of my best classes, but even I am fighting the urge to bash my head against the wall.
Thanks a lot AngryNotice, I was THIS close to getting into the "Future Rocketeers of North America", I even had the dean of admissions, Proffesor Niles J. Crumpenbisquit over here for a lobster dinner (Trying to butter him up and all that that). Things were going great, the lobster turned out perfectly, the dinner conversation was delightful, and The Dean didn't even notice that I'd run out of champagne and had to use diet Sprite. Then the doctor mentions something in passing about the ridiculousness of YECs and I decide that he'd get a kick out of FSTDT.com. So I fire up the computer and direct him to the site. The minute he takes a look at AngryNotice's comment his eyes glaze over and he starts making this weird gaspy squeaking noise. Next thing I know the professor keels over, bleeding from every orifice. Now, thanks to AngryNotice, not only will I never get into the FRONA but I have a dead body lying in my rumpus room.
That's the third post in a row I've just read from this guy, and each one is stupider than the one before. What the heck? Is he TRYING to buck for Patron Saint of Antiscience/Ignorance?
CheeZe, you're right. The moon *does* orbit the Sun, and not merely as an accident of being in orbit about the Earth. Its path is always concave towards the Sun, even at New Moon.
Gravity is a constant over millions of lightyears, never learned so in school?
Which is closer to the moon; the Sun or the Earth? Next question, due to their location, which would have more of a gravitational pull on the moon; the Sun or the Earth.
Hundred of years, thousands of scientists, and none of them have been bothered by "mistakes" a fleabrain like yours can invent. Does that suggest that you're wrong, or the whole world is wrong? Think real hard, Punkin....
see, this is why context is important, because gravity also depends on the distance between the two objects, not just the mass of each object
Ok, as weird as it sounds, I understand the fundies bitching about evolution. But "GRAVITY"? What in the hell in your pathetic babble goes against gravity? Jesus H. Fucking Christ, get a grip.
Are you sure English is your native language? Mine is Swedish, and I'm a bit tipsy (it's 11:48 PM here). I still find your English appallingly bad.
The moon's largest and nearest lump is Earth. The same goes for lumps entering our solar system; Jupiter is much larger and more "attractive" than Earth, and much earlier attractive than the Sun. Before any invading lump reaches the Sun, it has already been swallowed by a sufficiently large mass. Good for us, or we would have been smashed to pieces by much larger bodies than the one involved in the Tunguska incident...
It's a good thing that scientists are less blind to proper grammar and spelling than you are, stupid, or we would not understand what they were trying to say.

Note that 2 is always true for anything that gets sucked into Jupiter. Debris from outside of the Solar system likely wouldn't be in orbit around the Sun, but would fall toward the sun. If Jupiter is close enough, it will fall to Jupiter. If not, it will keep on going, like the meteors that come to Earth.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
