    That's why I used the term "mass" instead of "size" - A black hole could be the size of a tennis ball and still have the mass of the moon, or sun or whatever.

    Although many atheists have read the Bible, I didn't. I enjoy science fiction, but not other types of fiction.

    You will find most atheist know more about the Bible than those who profess to read it. That is a major reason we are atheist.

    So what really is 'gravity' if mass doesn't cause 'gravity'?
    - Let us first define these terms, again only from elementary Physics:
    1- Mass is the QUANTITY of MATTER a body contains..(or contained in a body).
    2- Matter is ANYTHING that EXISTS and OCCUPY SPACE....(solid, liquid, gas or Air)
    3- Density is a ratio of the mass to volume, i.e mass/volume.
    4- GRAVITY is the FORCE that attracts objects in space towards one another, and that on earth pulls them towards the center of the planet.
    5- FORCE is an effect that causes things to move in a particular way i.e a push or a pull on a body. A product of mass & acceleration.

    Note: Mass and Energy are ''one and the same''. Does gravitational force therefore exist independent of mass, or is it mass which causes it?

    You are lacking guidance in life, get yourself a copy of that ''Life COMPASS''.

    Hmmmmm! Now I know the 'major Reason' why you are atheist. You simply ''Know more ABOUT the Bible, BUT NOT the Bible itself. I wouldn't blame you for this, for there are many people like you the world over. The Bible need not only be read as a novel. It must be STUDIED and the principles in it put into practice. It is a LIVING BOOK and therefore we must get our inspiration and guidance from it. We must live by the words of GOD in it, the real compass to our life. Please kindly buy or get your own copy of the book, get someone knowledgeable in it to help you understand it, or better still join a local church or christian community nearest your area of residence and discover the power of the living GOD. I swear your life will never be the same again! And I will continue to pray for you always that you might see the light. Don't hesitate to PM anytime you need my help on this issue.
