Two men climbed to the top of the local largest building they could find. One didn't believe gravity exists, the other did.

Go jump then said the one who believes in Gravity. Mr no-gravity jumped.

As he was falling down the yes-gravity friend shouted 'Now do you believe in gravity.'
Oh my, more ignorance.  Reality is not explained by gravity, but buoyancy and density.  Matter matters.  And the denser an object is, the heavier it is in relation to less dense things like the air.  Gravity is junk theory used to promote the heliocentric model condemned by the Catholic Church.

Wait!
Is that the same gravity that pulls oceans but doesn't pull the great lakes? (As the National Ocean service itself admits.)

Sorry lads, even the official science admits that it is a theory.

No it is not the same gravity. Inertia causes the tides in the oceans ans seas but is diminished or is absent in seas and lakes.
What causes this inertia is another question.

I will continue with happenby's post.

We have had this conversation before happenby but for the sake of those who did not read it here we go again.
Gravity is a WORD used to describe how God's creation operates. It began we could say with Aristotle.
In the Aristotelian world there were four grades of terrestrial reality: mere existence (as in clay or rock), existence with growth (as in trees), existence and growth with sensation (as in beasts), and all these plus reason (as in man). The properties in matter were then only four, called the Four Contraries: hot, cold, moist and dry, and the four elements: fire, air, water and Earth. In the sublunary world – nature in the strict sense – the four elements had all sorted themselves out into their ‘kindly stedes,’ an early concept of gravity. Earth, the heaviest, had found itself at the centre. On the Earth sits the lighter water. Above that is the still lighter air. Fire, the lightest of all, whenever it was free, flies-up to the circuмference of nature and forms a sphere just below the trajectory of the moon.

Gravity then is the NAME given to certain actions we find in the created world. You flatearthers  can call it whatever you like, but the rest of us will go along with GRAVITY. So for us it exists. A man falling off a roof we say is caused by gravity. What is ignorant about that?

You seem to be unable to separate the word GRAVITY from THEORIES OF GRAVITY. Buoyancy and density are properties of matter,  but how they operate mankind calls GRAVITY.

Theories as to how and why a man falls from roof top if he jumps, or floats in a vacuum are something else happenby. Like you I reject Newton's theory and Einstein's, for I too believe only God knows how GRAVITY works. And God tells us:

“For great is the power of God alone, and he is honoured by the humble. Seek not the things that are too high for thee, and search not into things above thy ability: but the things that God hath commanded thee, think on them always, and in many of his works be not curious. For it is not necessary for thee to see with thy eyes those things that are hid. In unnecessary matters be not over curious, and in many of his works thou shalt not be inquisitive. For many things are shewn to thee above the understanding of men. And the suspicion of them hath deceived man, and hath detained their minds in vanity.” (Ecclus 3:21-26).

YES it is the same gravity. It took me a few seconds to google "what causes the oceans tides" to get the official science answer that it is gravity.

The point is clear, that gravity for modern science is the cause of the oceans tides. Perhaps not to geo-centrists like you, but nobody cares about geocentrists anymore. No one ever did really.
