scientists crack the chicken or the egg riddle

That would be silly, nobody disputes the "fact of gravity".

Gravity is still theoretical. Newtons Theory of Gravitation, which he himself wisely called a 'Law', was a theory.
Newtons 'Law' was found to be flawed in certain cases when compared to Einsteins General Theory of Relativity.

I'm only pointing out that Gravity has still only been explained theoretically, not empirically. Theories are as near to fact as we'll ever get in some cases because the empirical is physically impossible.
This applies to both sides of the argument/discussion though. Not being able to disprove something does not automatically make it fact.​

More or less what I'm saying. The EFFECTS of gravity are observable... there are laws, theories that are widely accepted by people studying it. Yet you rarely see people who "disagree with evolution" use the same sort of buzz words and phrases to "discredit" gravity, like they do for evolution. I think it's pretty telling.

Evolution happening is accepted as a fact(quite considerable evidence), has been seen, studied, predictions/hypotheses made and supported and so on. Yet in comparison to gravity, there are a LOT of people who refuse to consider it as being "real" & have a lot of "defenses" against it such as said phrase above- "just a theory"... they devote way more energy against Theory of Evolution more than Theory of Anything Else(all other things being considered equal). That's the point.
