how can billions of tones of water be held down by gravity yet a butterfly can fly past your illogical face and surrounding area ..?
Flight you smacking retard...
Gravity is a weak force, but the scale of the earth is so that it acts upon us as in the way it does. The mass of a butterfly or a bee is such that their tiny wings can produce enough lift to keep them flying, but the billions of tones of water create a greater gravitational energy.
But your "Gravity is just a theory" line just shows how little you understand. In science, the jargon usage of "theory" applies to any properly demonstrated law, model, or understanding of how things work. "Law" is really the same word, but use of that has fallen to the wayside in physics and other disciplines, who prefer "theory" for exactly the same knowledge-unit of understanding.
"Theory" is the best form of understanding we can every have about any process or model in the real world.
Be aware: the only thing more certain than "theory", is observation. We observe that X happens (gravity is the source of force, evolution happens, the speed of light is 299,792,458 m / s). It is explaining how these things happen that is a "theory".
"Theory" in common English has a meaning that is less certain, to which science applies the word "hypothesis".
If it was the hypothesis of Gravity I'd be more open to your interpretation, but it's not.
And that doesn't go to explaining how gravity is meant to work on your flat earth, because clearly it does. If only it didn't the maybe, just maybe we'd be lucky enough to have to float off into space and we could all live in peace.
