No Craig. I'm not saying anything about Newton. I'm not saying anything 
about a theory either. I'm talking about the built-in instinct that 
enabled a cat to jump at a certain angle forward-upward to be able to 
land on its prey. That cat had no concept about gravity.

I'm also talking about the force that made the pre solar dust cloud spin 
around its centre of mass and eventually collapse into itself to ignite 
our sun. No Newton, just gravity.

Get it?
