Philosophical problems with science.

So, you're saying you either know everything about something, or you know nothing about something?
That is obviously and factually false.

Are you claiming that something doesn't exist until we know it exists?

We know what gravity's rate of acceleration is now. (And by the way, that number is fact right now. You obviously have never flown in a plane or else you'd know how that rate is applied to things today)
We know enough about gravity to know how to come up with those rates. That's the reason the Apollo missions and Martian rovers were able to land on the surfaces and not crash down, or float away.
So yes, we can say that Earth's gravity was, for all purposes, the same in cave man days as it is today.
You think it was different, then explain how and why it was different, and what the rate was back then.

Now it's your turn.
Answer one of my original simple yes or no questions.
Is the rate of gravity different for people of different backgrounds?
Yes or no.
