if god isn't real, then how do leaves stay on trees even though there is gravity. Wouldn't gravity make the leaves fall off the trees? amirite?

If that's the logic you're using, then you might as well question how the clouds stay in the sky despite gravity. Or how birds can fly. Besides, if God DOES exist, why would he waste energy on by keeping leaves on trees when there are much LARGER issues he could help?

Tell me, how old are you? Twelve? There are perfectly logical explanations for BOTH OF THESE PHENOMENONS, just as there is a scientific explanation for EVERYTHING that we can prove exists. I laugh at the fact that you call yourself "smart", when you refuse to even CONSIDER anything other than what YOU have decided is real.

Are you actually that stupid? The leaves stay on the trees because they're f'king connected from the stems of each leaf.....I feel like you're either trolling, or you're like 5 years old. Do you want me to go and explain the actual physical bonds of the cells of the leaves or what? Birds can fly because the force they are creating from flapping their wings is greater than the force of gravity that is pulling them down. When I say force, I mean the force of pushing the air molecules downward. Yes, air does have volume and mass, as do clouds. Clouds float because the tiny crystals that they are made out of are just as light as air, so in a sense, they ARE air. The crystals they are made out of are too small to have any fall velocity. Think of dust particles floating above the ground. They float because they are light as air. Where the particles go is determined by the air currents. Your education seems to have derived from episodes of Spongebob.

No problem. It was painful to type out. I feel like I've been trolled pretty hard.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Wait, that makes no sense, shouldn't air and molecules be moving downward because of gravity? and the force of gravity is so strong than the leaves would not be able to stay on trees. and wow, instead of creating a reasonable argument, you insult me on my education. I go to a respectable private school.

Alright, we're done here. You're smarter than you appear, but not because of what you claim to believe; because you successfully trolled me and poor colette. Bye.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

The amount of force gravity has on an object depends on the mass of the object. Leaves have very little mass and therefore gravity has very little force over them. Leaves are connected to the tree and gravity does not have enough force on the leaves to break that connection. And air has very little mass. So little that it's movement is stronger than the amount of force gravity has on the air. If your school is considered respectable I am extremely sorry for the kids in your area.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

All right OP, because you are a smart 14 year old that goes to a 'respectable private school' I have an idea for you that might just enlighten you. Go to your science teacher and ask him/her why exactly the birds can stay in the air, leaves of the tree stay, and 'why air isn't pushed down'; come back onto this site and tell us what they said and what you think.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

some private school. Gravity isn't strong ebough to knock everything down, if gravity was as strong as ur saying, then there would beno possible way to jump and you would probably be crushed immediately from the force. ANd y would god care about keeping leaves on trees? I'm not saying I dont believe in god, I'm just saying that was a terrible arguement

by Anonymous 12 years ago

birds fly because the way they flap their wings causes lift, which pushes the bird up. clouds are made of water vapor, which is brought up drawn up into the atmosphere, so, despite your name, you obviously arent as smart as you think you are

they are connected to the bone, but with leaves, they are barely connected to the tree.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Maybe science and/or God will do us a favour and turn your gravity off, so you go floating off somewhere else. :)

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Yeah but leaves are lighter than fingers, so they dont need such a strong support like bone, they stay connected only by stems (which, if you havent noticed, are sturdier than the leaf) please tell me your joking by the way, im 14 too and i literally cannot believe that you're being serious

That's why gravity is said to be the weakest force. Jumping defies gravity and that uses just a small amount of chemical energy gained from eating.
