I think where you're getting mixed up is in the distinction between the phenomena of gravity, and explanations for the phenomena of gravity. Gravity is a fact, it is completely verifiable that it exists. How gravity works and why it exists are fundamental pursuits in theoretical physics. I'm not a physicist, but i'm pretty sure the jury's still out on any sort of comprehensive explanation for gravity.
