I set up a dichotomy, so don't get holier than thou; and that's not irony. Not to mention I limited the scope of your knowledge specifically relating to this topic and not others. So basiy I said that you don't know what you're talking about or you're a terrible troll. Empiricism is a wonderful thing.

It doesn't take extensive knowledge to understand how silly it is to believe that the planets are governed by a magical 2D fabric in space that uses circular logic to explain how they're "falling" into it. And its circular logic because the 2D plane is supposed to be the cause of gravity yet it doesn't explain why the planets are causing the dimple to begin with unless they have "inherent gravity" and the plane is pointless.
You also conjecture about my level of knowledge. And if you supported empiricism then you would believe that the sun revolves around the earth since that's what we observe, without implying that's what's actually happening.
