Is bluewaterrider talking about things like gravity or quinton mechanics when he says "fundamental truths"? Or could it be a list of personifications that his particular denomination of Christianity believe in?
I'm not sure how belief systems can be related to any such thing. How do you derive an ought from an is?

Bluewaterrider is, indeed, talking about things like gravity.
That is, in fact, why Bluewaterrider included " ... under ordinary conditions" as part of that definition.
He had Stephen Covey in mind foremost; he also had Neil DeGrasse Tyson and the 21 to 56 second range of the following video when he wrote that:

" ... [J]ust to put that in context:
If you wanted to escape the Earth,
it's actually possible to do that --
contrary to what your grandparents told you.
Where they said "What goes up, must come down"?
That's just not true.
Well, there's nothing your grandparents ever threw that never came down.
But rockets, with high enough speed ...
You can send something so it never comes back.
For Earth, that speed is 7 miles per second, and we call that the escape velocity ...
[but]most of life experience tells you that what goes up comes down ..."

That is a very strange link. Do you blame Stealth Moose for JIA's ban? He had nothing to do with it. Just PM Backfire and ask him.
I assume he's dodging the point as usual with misdirection. JIA has zero to do with the discussion at hand, and bluewaterrider's desire to ignore direct questions is more powerful than his need to relate with others.
To clarify, I did notify Backfire when I realized that JIA had basically spammed the entire religious sub-forum in some kind of righteous furor of whatever. In that respect, I am directly responsible for bringing mod attention to the very evident issue of JIA spamming. See below:
^ That's 15 different threads, all created by him, all posted in by him and most of which were dead or inactive. This is not counting the threads he spammed in which have since been carried on by others, such as this one. Btw, this screenie is not old; I just took it. You can verify this for yourself.
Here's some of the posts he added to these mostly dead threads that he created:

Etc.
Being a prolific poster is one thing; spamming dozens of dead threads with the same nonsense after being told by mods not to do this very thing is another.
