Philosophical problems with science.

From all his posts on this site and back on TTA, before he was banned, I&I made it very clear he doesn't what science is or how it works.
So, all his opinions and thoughts on it are wrong, invalid, and unimportant.

(December 12, 2013 at 3:31 am)I and I Wrote: "Explaining observations" is determined by ones historical place in time, education therefore class, ideologies, religions, all which can and often do form what kinds of observations and questions are formed.
So, if an American scientist within recent history said he discovered the rate of gravitational acceleration on Earth is 9.8m/s², you're saying that rate will be different for people who are poor than it is for rich people? That rate will be different for a conservative than it is a liberal? That rate will be different for a socialist than it will be for a capitalist? That rate will be different for someone from 1700 than it will be for someone from 2200? That rate will be different for someone who flunked high school than it will be for someone with 5 masters degrees?

The interpretation of studies will always be determined by human bias. Scientists concede that very little is known about gravity and yes, to a cave mans mind gravity was non existent. Unless there is evidence that they knew the rate of gravity. If you are about to claim that claim about gravity is "true" regardless of time period then you are asserting that truth is outside of human perception. If this is your claim then how would one go about proving this?
