"As the debate over the teaching of evolution in public schools
continues, a new controversy over the science curriculum arose Monday in
this embattled Midwestern state. Scientists from the Evangelical Center
For Faith-Based Reasoning are now asserting that the long-held "theory
of gravity" is flawed, and they have responded to it with a new theory
of Intelligent Falling. "Things fall not because they are acted upon by
some gravitational force, but because a higher intelligence, 'God' if
you will, is pushing them down," said Gabriel Burdett, who holds degrees
in education, applied Scripture, and physics from Oral Roberts
University.
Burdett added: "Gravity-which is taught to our children as a law-is
founded on great gaps in understanding. The laws predict the mutual
force between all bodies of mass, but they cannot explain that force.
Isaac Newton himself said, 'I suspect that my theories may all depend
upon a force for which philosophers have searched all of nature in
vain.' Of course, he is alluding to a higher power."
Founded in 1987, the ECFR is the world's leading institution of
evangelical physics, a branch of physics based on literal interpretation
of the Bible. ... "
