So it appears this is the fundamental nexus in this discussion. And now I have to decide whether it's worthwhile going point by point through your post again, or if your refusal to separate truths from beliefs makes the rest of the discussion moot.
Concerning gravity, I was actually a little unclear in explaining its relationship. Loosely, it is a product of the masses divided by the square of the distance between them. So the rates do change depending on distance, and mass of the two objects being considered. But the rates at which objects fall towards surface of the earth, for example, are the same regardless of the object involved.

I'd recommend watching the "minute physics" channel on youtube. I suspect you'd disagree with much of that as well. And thus, we really don't have much to discuss. But if you'd like to take it for a test spin:

Religious but open minded about the arguments of atheists? You may have spent your whole life learning about the arguments for religion. May I present to you 10 segmented hours for the case against it?
