I know it happend, i was there...

science is jus a description
n the theory is well, jus a theory with logical explanation
an educated guess
theres no chemistry involved

that is true and if space is endless then we are not bout to go together again, but maybe somewhere out there another universe is moving closer, we just dont know it. There is the collection, maybe one has a domonent gravitational pull, bang.

It was proven was it not?

no

My question is, if density has no correlation with gravitation, only mass, and the average black hole is roughly 10 times the mass of our sun(smaller than many other stars) then, why is there such an comparatively stronger gravitational pull coming from black holes than a star of the same mass? I should mention, Astronomy is not my strong suit and I apologize if this is a stupid question.

The gravitational force isn't any stronger than from a regular star, for instance if sun was replaced with a black hole of the same mass, the planetar motion would not change. It's only different when you are inside the event horizon(around 4km for the smallest black hole)

to add what bes said, black holes are only infinitely stronger when you are very close to them because the radius shrinks by enormous scales. an event horizon (which is the edge of the infinite gravitationl pull) is very close to the black hole so according to the equation of Gconstant*M1*M2/r, where r is the distance between the two oibjects, one can see why a black hole of enormous mass would have an enormous pull when youre close. since ALL of the mass is packed into a tiny spot, ALL the gravity of felt from that mass. whereas a star (4 km from the center [where the event horizon WOULD be]) has mass all around it, so the net force acting on that spot is not at all as strong.
this help?

With a black hole r (will theoretically approach 0) gets really really small and it has a very big mass, working out that math and you get a really really strong gravitational pull.
When you are further away the density has less effect.

Big Bang theory = false.

Many parts of the theory have been proven false already
