Wait a minute... are you trying to imply that those of certain religious persuasions have brains that evolved from different sources than those with different persuasions?
It's called sarcasm, but I think both sides of the brain must be functioning to catch it.

Therefore a mere gravitational argument against a rising fastball is not sufficient.

Of course. That's why the bulk of the discussion revolves around SPIN (and specifically what effect spin has on a ball). Did you even read the links? But gravity can be calculated - and is the basis of the argument in that you know exactly how much acceleration downward must be counteracted by whatever other forces are acting on the ball.

2. I admitted that I have not taken the time to understand aerodynamics of why the bullet rises.

Yes, this is obvious. Among other things. [/B]

Perhaps you can relate to this:
Newtons theory of energy didn't include mass converting to energy because he never saw mass moving any where close to the speed of light, however when Einstien was able to see mass moving at or close to the speed of light he added to his formula to prove that mass can convert to energy.
Was Newton wrong? To be kind we can say he didn't have all the facts or consider all the variables.
So to be kind I won't say you're wrong, perhaps you're just not considering all the facts and variables.
PS
It's not so bad being compared to Newton is it?
