Does Gravity Negate God?

This is actually a serious question. Think about it for a minute. What does the theory of gravity actually indicate?

Objects fall to the earth, not by the divine will of a deity, but through a unconscious naturalistic force. It is not random, but nor is it directed by any supernatural agency.

Likewise the orbits of the earth, the moon and all the other planets and astronomical bodies around the sun is dictated by the mindless force of gravity. According to this theory the earth orbit is dictated by naturalistic forces, not by divine ordinance.

Even the very shape of the earth itself is the result of gravity. According to this theory any sufficiently massive body will under the force of gravity become spherical. The shape was not decided upon by any creator, but again was dictated a by non-random, mindless, naturalistic force.


So does our understanding of Gravity negate the need for "God"?
Does light on earth coming from the sun, and not from God, negate God?
Do you having to pick an apple, chew it down, swallow, digest, etc... rather than just somehow being auto-fed by God's will negate God? Just because you can find explanations for almost everything happening around us, doesn't mean it negates God in any way. Nothing can disprove God, and nothing can be proof of God either.

Nope. It doesn't negate God. Nor does evolution. It might negate Some peoples version of God, which is why evolutionary theory is targeted more (anti
YEC) than something like gravity.

Rational thinking negates God.
