I thought gravity had something to do with centrifugal force.
More like centrifugal force mimicks gravitational effects. It isn't itself gravity or some expression of it.

Where Does Gravity Come From
We know a lot about gravity, but some basic questions remain unanswered:
1) What is gravity?
2) Where does gravity come from?
3) Would it be possible to have a universe without a law of gravity?
Using the "God of the gaps" argument, there are some pretty major gaps here.
Why do scientists assume that gravity is a given?
Imagine a universe where matter does not attract other matter?
Since we do not know what gravity is, we cannot say such a universe is impossible.
But one thing is certain, there could be no life in such a universe.
We take a lot of things for granted, like gravity, the speed of light, the laws of physics, the boiling points of different elements.
Tweek one thing, one small detail, and it would all be out of whack and human life would not be possible.
I think there is a good argument for saying that nothing in this universe was randomly determined, not even the smallest detail.
Baloney. If there's any constant you can count on from the universe, it's entropy.
And on the topic of the universe.....
Complex organic molecule found in interstellar space
BBC ^
Scientists have found the beginnings of life-bearing chemistry at the centre of the galaxy. Iso-propyl cyanide has been detected in a star-forming cloud 27,000 light-years from Earth. Its branched carbon structure is closer to the complex organic molecules of life than any previous finding from interstellar space....
odd that it didn't evolve into intelligent life by now
You must remember we are looking BACK IN TIME! Perhaps it has and it's more advanced than we are!

Yeah, well, I just spent my meager knowledge on the subject.

The Earth sucks!
No, the universe is pushy!

27,000 years. A mouse fart on the scale of four billion years that life has existed on our planet. No, I don't think sentient beings can evolve from organic molecular soup in 27,000 year.
nope, I suggesting your argument continues to be irrational......Are you suggesting "the gawds did it" (just 6,000 years ago), is a viable explanation for the diversity of life on the planet?you mean appealing to organic chemicals magically turning into life?......
that's pretty funny.......tell me, do you really believe that?.....because there actually is no fucking evidence that organic chemicals turned into life.....Al

All we know for certain is that atheists think they evolved from monkeys and apes
The theories describing evolution are the best explanations we have so far. The scope, robustness, evidence in support, and explanatory power of the theories fit our observations better than the creation stories of any religion.
sure it has......there were organic chemicals in a puddle and SHAZZAAM!......there was life.....its called abiogenesis.....you mean appealing to organic chemicals magically turning into life?......
Magic hasn't been put forward as a scientific explanation for anything yet.
/sigh....no son.....life is alive....organic chemicals are organic chemicals.....reality is that organic chemicals are not alive.....
Some are: all life for example.
obviously we aren't talking about evolution.....we are talking about the origin of life.....evolution has nothing to do with the origin of life.....neither do puddles of mud spontaneously erupting into life.....Al

No, they're not. Those theories are ridiculous and mathematically impossible. The odds of random molecules forming a protein and those proteins forming cells are beyond astronomical.
Are we talking about the theories of evolution or abiogenesis? Evolution has to do with the diversity of life forms, and abiogenesis with the how life developed in the first place. Because we don't know the conditions of all the places on the planet when life began, and all the conditions that must be for life to begin, no one knows the odds of it forming in the first place. So talking about the odds of it happening is pointless. No one knows what the odds are. But here's link if you wish to educate yourself on abiogenesis, statistics, and science:

As a philisophical tool I though 'God is in the gaps' was done away with centuries ago?
