A way in which science can be tied with religion.

I was doing some research and some reading of Genesis, when suddenly it dawned on me. What if the great being we call God, G-d, whatever you call him... shows himself to everyone in the form of gravity?
Science says that gravity is the sculpture of the Universe, Religion says God made the universe.
Science says we see the effects of Gravity all around us and it effects everything, so does God in the eyes of religion.
To an extent Gravity maybe responsible for the initial forming of amino acids and basic protiens. Religion says that God made Life.
What do you think?

Actually gravity is not the building block of the universe, The building block of everything in its simplest form would be energy. All matter is made of energy and energy is also what created the universe in the form of a singularity that exploded in what is called the big-bang. Energy can not be destroyed, and energy to have created the universe had to exist before the universe, so Energy is the basic common denominator of matter and all existence. So in essence one could say God is energy, and we too are created from energy and therefore we are created in the image of God.

I believe God is the source of all energy including gravity. I believe science is tapping into a piece of God. Science has also proven the existence of fields around our bodies which is our life force. God is the source of these fields as well but I believe there is more to God then that.

Thank you for the great topic and for the best response! I had never thought of gravity specifically before only of God being energy in general, I am glad you brought it up.

All is Energy, Energy is Love, Love is God. This is my definition of God!
Gravity is always with us but it is not constant under some conditions. In Space at the speed 17500 mph the Space Station can overcome gravity. Would this would mean that God is not present at this speed in the Space Station?

Technically speaking the have to "boost" the orbits of space stations regularly, otherwise they would just fall back to earth. Would it be possible to draw similarities between that and say those that turn away from God and who eventually either return or get called to judgement, becuase you can't properly escape it.
Obviously we can escape the gravity of Earth and probably find somewhere where the effects of any gravity are so small they are unnoticable... like places where God is completely rejected, like at some cultist group?

Are you saying that Gravity is God or vice versa? If so, then I'd say you're wrong. Gravity is actually the weakest of the elemental forces, so if Gravity were God, then we'd be saying that there is something more powerful than God.
But if you're saying that God may manifest himself through gravity, then that is an interesting observation. Gravity is everywhere, and has to exist, if matter exists.

That was a nice observation, but we cannot say that gravity is God right? bu I can say that God made Gravity. you agree? anyhow, God is always greater than everything. A same observation is in form of water, form of air, and many other things that are essential to life and the world. They are all made by God.

God is not gravity. God is actually someone. God is very very smart. Most don't have a clue. That is why God is not understood. With the knowledge of the complex, God creates the universe with a bang. The universe unfolds into what we have today. It's just like a seed grows into a tree. Remarkable! There is so much to learn!

Yeah, back in the old days I believed in something like this.
But imagine, the extent of god's power on the earth's surface is 9.8N. Seems comical, doesn't it?

I am very interested in this topic because Im a learner of physics and study of relativity, I just want to point this, In a vacuum, there is no gravity. even in the outer space. Yet God created them all. This fact is a conflict to the statement that gravity exists everywhere.
