Without gravity... no waterfalls!

 

The scientific meaning of gravity (the downward acceleration of terrestrial bodies due to gravitation of the Earth) was first recorded in the 1620s.

 

Of course, the word "gravity" was used long before the scientists adopted it. Gravity denotes "weight, dignity, seriousness, solemnity, importance". It comes from from Old French "gravité" (seriousness, thoughtfulness) and from Latin "gravis" (heavy).

 

So, when the 1960's hippies said something was "heavy", it had gravity.

 

Sadly, it doesn't get "heavier" than this:

It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.(Hebrews 9:27)

 

But, thankfully, for those who are trusting in Christ, the final judgement is not to be feared:

 

"For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God." (1st Peter 3:18)
