I have to say from how I can see things from my thinking.... While I dont personally believe the earth is flat, (Mind you, the Bible mentions the four corners of the earth...) I do believe the way we have been taught does not line up with what we see.
From what I can see is that the earth is either still or relatively still, and all the rest of creation moves around it. I also think the moon and sun are not as far away as we think. I believe that space is a case of large pressures pushing down on the earth as space turns round the earth. High tides are caused through the interruption of this force by the passing of the moon.
It was after I saw a comment made by someone on YouTube regarding that the earth can't be spinning because..... It got me thinking! First they say the speed is around a tad over 1000 mph... If it is the earth that spins we expect to see huge wind and forces on the earths surface. We dont see the effects of such friction next to the earth but we do see them on the outer atmosphere of the earth, hence why rocks burn up at this point.
Even as a child I thought it odd to say the earth spins with the thought, dont be silly! We would all fall off!
I dont see how gravity can work by the earth spinning,but I do see it working by the external forces of what we call space pushing down on the earth.
HAARP works by pushing up the earths outer atmosphere by using a huge amount of energy to do so. This tool can alter weather patterns and much experimenting has been done over the years by doing this.
The Hedron Collider... Something odd about using it as a particle accelerator. However there has been some talk about trying to reverse the magnetic poles of the earth. (Why one would want to do this I dont buy the global warming excuse that is often given). All I'm saying is I consider it a crazy thing to do in either accelerating particles or reversing the magnetic poles.
Now if the earth spins ands this causes gravity, then how is it possible to stand on the north and south pole at all? We would fly off into space!
A lot of thoughts to think about here whichever theory one prefers to consider.
I have a theory as to why we are taught that the earth is spinning as it defends another theory which cannot stand on its own merits, that of evolution...which needs millions of years to sound plausible but by adding these millions, the very concept of change between one species and another seems less and less likely because other elements of such a change come into play such as how they survive during such an in between stage if it is not a quick change? (As the in between change is the most vulnerable) and what causes a creature to decide it needs to change and how does it go about doing it?
Anyway. I've covered a lot of ideas and theory here. I conclude for everybody to take nothing for granted and look at what you see happening, and what theory best lines up to what you see, and if such a theory does not line up,make your own theory! You came do worse then others! (Though make sure it lines up to the Word of God as we know Gods Word it true!)
