Gravity is an attractive force between bodies. In a qualified sense they can be said to pull on one another. But the sun for instance doesn't pull on the earth as if its on the end of a rope. Bodies attract one another by some undiscovered means and they react to this attraction by moving spontaneously towards one another. There is a force of attraction that acts like a pull but there is no force pulling in the sense that one pulls a boat with a rope. Bodies react spontaneously to this attractive force just as a man and women in love attract one another and react by self moving towards each other. They can be said to pull one another to each other but that is in a qualified sense since they are not physically pulling but physically attracting each other. Whether the cause of this is waves, gravitons, Einstein's explanation I certainly do not know. The order of the universe may be in the hands of an intelligent Being who orders all these things in ways known only to Him but in such a way that the order can be discovered and made known and expressed in mathematical formulations which leads to further discoveries.There is no pull as such!!!!!
