Even though there is a unanimous agreement through the science community that evolution is by far the most probable theory for how humans inhabited the Earth (Baraniuk), other theories are still taught in classrooms. According to PBS, “13% outright endorse creationism or ID in the classroom, 21% lend credence to creationism or ID as a valid alternative to evolution, and slightly more than that, 22.4% spend at least one hour of instruction time - unconstitutionally - on these non-scientific topics” (Keep). Intelligent Falling falls into the same category as Intelligent Creation and Creationism: unfounded theories that contradict scientifically backed explanations.

Burdett also said, “Gravity—which is taught to our children as a law—is founded on great gaps in understanding. The laws predict the mutual force between all bodies of mass, but they cannot explain that force.” This is simply false, gravity is largely explainable and understood by scientists. Scientists believe that gravity is caused by “tiny, massless particles called gravitons that emanate gravitational fields” (Mosher). In fact, all object have their own gravitational fields which attract objects to their centers of mass. The larger the object, the larger the gravitational
