That has to be one of the more ignorant remarks made on CI in a long time. Even an elementary understanding of physics would answer your question, but I'll dumb it down even further and answer your question with another question:
When you are on an airplane that is moving at 500 miles per hour, how do you explain this simple fact: when people jump on an airplane, they land in the same general spot within the airplane?
Shall we next ask why people standing on the south pole don't fall off the earth into space?
Also, for the record, while the earth is rotating at a speed of about 1,000 miles per hour, it is orbiting the sun at a speed of about 67,000 miles per hour.
Truth is Eternal: If you believe the earth is moving 1,000 miles per hour as atheistic scientists claim it is, how then do you explain this simple fact; when people jump up three feet into the air, they land in the same general spot?
Aristotle even got this one wrong. Any body on a moving body takes up the speed of that body.
But, but, one will get exactly the same result if the earth does not move.
Now let us all get on that airoplane of Delores's. If the earth is rotating, turning, then why do two planes, one going west to east the other east to west, at the same speed, arrive at the same approximate time?
A man on a horse throws a ball in the air. Aristotle thought the ball would land behind the horse and the man. When Bacon tried it, the ball landed back in the man's hands. all were traveling at the same time. But that man on that horse will FEEL motion and will experience his speed through the air.
Doctor Schoepffer put forward the following in 1850:’
‘Currents of the ocean and of the atmosphere were also thought to be consequences of this centrifugal tendency. Indeed, it is difficult to comprehend how it is possible that air (this light body, moved by the most diverse currents, seeking expansion, and so loose and volatile) should not be affected by the rotation of the earth. After the greatest philosophers have postulated an influence of the rotation of the earth upon the solid mass of the body of the earth, surely I do not consider it too presumptuous if I assume that the rotation of the earth must of necessity influence the air! It is not possible, as I conceive; that the lighter air of the higher regions, especially, can follow the globe of the earth when it is rotating with considerable rapidity.
How do our philosophers explain the fact of our not noticing anything of the assumed rotation of the earth, or why, with this rotation, all things are not toppling over one another? … It is not myself however, who am the first to conceive the necessity of this current of the air westward. All philosophers of the present time have admitted the necessity, but have been unable to find any proofs of its existence.
We cannot perceive the rotation of the earth in any way. We cannot demonstrate it! There are no air-currents that we can justly regard as or even suppose to be consequences of this rotation. These facts ought to be proof enough against the existence of a rotation of the earth. Must it not appear almost absurd in us, preoccupied by what they have taught us in school, to accept a theory of the rotation of the earth which neither is, nor can be, proven? Must we not wonder at the readiness of the learned of nearly the entire world, from the time of Copernicus and Kepler, to accept the conception of the rotation of the earth and then search afterwards, now for nearly three and a half centuries, for arguments to maintain it, but of course without being able to?
I have proven this contrary mainly by means of the absence of a constant air-current from east to west. For the same reason, if the earth were to circle about the sun, the air-belt would stay back towards the side opposite to the course, and the air would thus follow the earth like a long tail, as is seen with comets. Let the tail of the comet consist of whatever it may, we have to look upon it as an atmosphere of those puzzling bodies; and their atmosphere must stay back, tail-like, as they move on through the universe.’
Now let us move at 72,000mph through space. Why is there not ONE SINGLE moving experience on earth from this speed-of-a-bullet-orbit?
Maybe you Delores can tell me?
