>>3444048>I can assure you that I thoroughly outgun you on all fronts, whether scientific or theological. My intent is simply to provide the truth. Your intent is to shill for a lie.Whatever you need to delude yourself with.
>No. If you believe the earth is spinning in a specific direction, west to east, then attempting to accelerate an object COUNTER to the rotation of the earth would require ADDITIONAL FORCE on top of what is required to overcome the object's inertia and friction to achieve the same rate of acceleration. No, you don't. In a vehicle moving 60 mph west, you can take a ball and roll it east, with exactly the same amount of effort and force as if you weren't in a car moving. That's because you, the ball, the car, are all moving at the SAME SPEED relative to EACH OTHER. So, in effect, RELATIVELY, you are not moving. The ball would not roll towards the back of the car as the car goes forward, unless there was acceleration happening. With a consistent speed, here 60 mph, the ball would remain stationary wherever you put it (we are assuming a flat road with no bumps and little to no vibration, even with such things, the ball is stationary relative to the car its in)
As for your escalator bullshit, please realize that while your moving up the down escalator analogy is true, it is because you are fighting gravity pulling you down while you attempt to walk up AND the stairs pull you down, that it is difficult.
Try walking down the up escalator, it's much, much easier because gravity is helping pull you down.
>That would only be valid if you believe the earth is fully enclosed with a physical barrier, just as a carThat's because it is enclosed. By energy. It's called our ionosphere. Charged particles, electromagnetism? We have energy belts around our planet that hold the atmosphere in. You see the atmosphere is charged, and the space outside it is charged, with the opposite charge. So they repel. (yay electromagnetics)
