    That bowling balls fall is an example of micro-gravity.  
Macro-gravity is only a theory.
 
    Anyway, bowling balls only fall IF YOU LET GO OF THEM.  They don't
fall on their own.
 
    Remember that nobody has seen gravity, and so it's just a belief.
 
    Gravity is not falsifiable, so it can't be scientific.
 
    People use gravity to support evil things.
 
    Anti-gravitationists deserve equal time.
 
    Gravity violates the third law of thermodynamics (that nothing 
can fall all the way).
 
    Some of the world's greatest scientists are anti-gravitationists.
 
    I will post the theory of anti-gravitationism as soon as I get
it worked out.
 
 
Yes, there is a smiley here :-)  I just thought that a little levity
would be OK.
