I looked at the flat earth theory in a post that is recently posted or answered, and while I personally can't quite see it flat, I have heard another theory which to me seems far more plausible then the scientific belief we are all accustomed to believe. Bear me out on this...
A couple of years ago I was sidetracked by the Still Earth Theory. The basic theory fits well with the Biblical account of things. The earth is still (Or almost still) and everything else move around it.
Two things before I go further here I need to point out. Science pushing evolution would be dead against this theory on the bases that it explains creation and not evolution, and the second point is that the difference at the equator between the time it takes for a single revolution and the distance round the equator circumference gives an estimated speed of just a tad above or below 1000 mph. Some say 1006. Others have said 996. We shall call it 1000 to round it up.
The easiest way to see if the theory fits or not is put it to the test by what we actually see and what seems to fit what we see.
First gravity. If gravity is working because the earth spins we have strong gravity at the equator and no gravity directly at the two poles. Yet gravity actually does the opposite in the way we would expect a spinning earth would do. We know centrifugal force on a roundabout actually throws us off rather then keeps us on as the speed increases. Now trying to explain a spinning earth that keeps our feet on the ground just does not add up to me.
Now a still earth and things make sense as the universe turning around the earth is more likely to push us onto the earth then throw us off the earth.
Another interesting point to consider that works with the still earth theory but not the spinning earth theory is regarding the 1000mph speed difference between the earth and all else outside the earth. Now the point that the greatest speed difference between the part that moves at speed and the part that is still is the point where the greatest friction is likely to be. Let us have an example. A lump of rock heads for the earth. It burns up in the outer point of our earths atmosphere, not right next to the earth. We send a rocket into space and back. It needs protection due to the friction at the most outer part of the earths atmosphere. We send a weather balloon up. They burst when they touch the outer atmosphere right up high.
If the earth spins at speed then near the earths surface there would be constant high winds and friction in one single direction that the ear this spinning in. We would not expect to see changes in wind direction at all.
Now as for the other post about a flat earth? Well. We know for sure it is round as in either flat and round or ball shaped due to shadows. While I can't see it being flat myself, something strange is happening here as the aircraft routes go from either east to west or give versa. There are none going north up over the top or south round the bottom as a shorter route. Is this just due to the cold air or is it because the earth is not how it seems? Just a thought there may be more to it then it seems.
While I conclude that even if we keep to the most popular theory of the earth spins, it can be fun to stretch our minds a bit now and then can't it? After all, we won't really know for sure until the Lord returns, and does it really matter anyway? All that matters is God knows what He is doing.
