The gravitational force between two objects always acts to attract them together.
Electrically charged objects can attract if they have opposite charges, or repel if they have the same type charge.
Thus only gravity could have caused matter in the universe to condense together and eventually form stars and planets.

DevinIt all depends, what do you mean by attraction? If the question is related to gravitational attraction.
Like the gravitational attraction between planet earth and our moon, then the answer is yes.
Every object that has mass, contains some level of gravity. Even you and I have some level of gravitational attraction, just like our planet does, but it all depends on the mass of the object, the more mass the object has the more the gravity it contains, or the more it attracts other objects.
For example, the planet Jupiter has more gravitational attraction than Earth, because it is more massive.
But if you are comparing two objects like baseballs, there is still some kind of gravitational attraction, but it is so minuscule that's it is practically unmeasurable.
In summary, every object attracts every other objectto some degree, even if it is too small to detect.
When they are rubbed together, some of the electrons from one object are transfered to the other. This means that one object will have more electrons than protons, and thus have a negative charge. While the other will have more protons than electrons, and therefore have a positive charge.

When two poles unlike poles are brought together. What happens?
They repel each other.
Which two particles would be attracted to each other?
The particles with similar charges with repel each other, This is commonly observed i n the magnetic poles where if one places the like poles that is two north poles or two south poles together it will repel reach other. This principle is very important to remember that like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other.
What happens when charged objects are brought near uncharged objects?
well if two bodies negatively charged are brought near each other, then there is a strong force of repulsion, as the electrostatic lines of forces terminate at these bodies, they exert later pressure on each other, hence the bodies repeal each other
The law of universal gravitation states that any two objects in the universe without exception?
attract each other
Do opposite charges attract each other?
If the atoms have opposite charges (positive to negative) they will attract. If the atoms have the same charges (positive to positive or negative to negative) then they will repel. You can look at the Law of Electric Charges to get more information on this.
