so Einstein's theory of general relativity cant make predictions, just tells us WHY it happens. Newton's theory tells us WHAT WILL happen.
Oh dear, you
did make the same mistake twice.
It's
Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation. Trust me.
Newton's
Law predicts the behavior of a dropped object, but it doesn't explain
why it happened.

Youre a very confused individual
You seem to be superimposing your religious beliefs onto basic scientific principles and onto the scientific method itself.
Is it any wonder that you are a AGW denialist?
Tell you what
Use non-relativistic physics to design a GPS system. Get back to me on how accurate it is.
You do understand that Newtonian physics is an approximation when the dilation of space-time can be assumed to be negligible?
Nothing religious here.
The problem is, you don't understand basic scientific principles.
There's Newton's
Law of Universal Gravitation, and Einstein's
Theory of General Relativity.
One is a
law and the other is a
theory. You don't even understand the difference between the two.
Newton's Law predicts the behavior of a dropped object, and Einstein's Theory explains why it happened.
You've had your arse handed to you a plate today, and now you're getting angry because I've embarrassed you.
Well, you need to toughen up, princess.
You also need to go back to school. These may help you to better understand:
