but think about this, although gravity is the closest thing to absolute in 
the physical world, there is a lot of relativity concerning its influence 
upon an object.  for example, the masses involved, the distances involved, et 
cetera.  
this is actually a very bad analogy for truth, because with gravity, 
everything exerts a gravitational pull, where as not everything exerts a 
"truth-ful pull."  and the analogy gets even worse when applied to the "truth 
of god" because not everything is a god, or at least according to your 
personal bias.

however these are merely the thoughts of an english major turned physics 
teacher, feel free to disregard, ostensibly agree with but snicker behind my 
back, or even outright mock.
