"I believe gravity causes things to become attracted to each other."
"No, it doesn't."
"Fine, let's put it to the test!"

That's preposterous, but at least it's falsifiable.
Here's how the other conversation would go:
"I believe Poseidon created the seas and all that is in them."
"No, he didn't!"
"O, ya?! Prove that he didn't!!"
Do you see the difference?
That's yet another reason why many scientists cry fowl when religion tries to take a foot hold in science. It doesn't follow the same rules as everything else. Science by its very nature has to be falsifiable. Intelligent Design may be a perfectly reasonable personal explanation of how the universe came to be and life and complexity within it, but religion in sheep's clothes can be a dangerous thing scientifically.

Bell end. You just don't understand. You and your arguments will devolve and die out. That is evolution for you! Look at how the decline of the church PROVES this as fact. Nob cheese.
