If the earth were a spinning globe, you have to explain the very real scientific phenomena of AIR and WIND.

If the air were independent of the spinning ball earth, I could go up and hover in a helicopter and wait for my destination to spin up under me, and simply land at my destination. Travel would involve going up and down, and letting the earth's spin do all the work.

But if air somehow magically sticks to the spinning ball (earth) beneath it, like it's connected by invisible velcro or an invisible iron bar, then you couldn't fly kites. Not to mention you wouldn't have winds in every which direction the fickle weather chooses. Wind would all be in one dominant direction: based on the earth's spin.

And if air were to choose the latter "sticky to the earth" option, you'd also have different airspeed at the equator vs. the poles, and everywhere in between. Travelling N-S would be extremely dangerous, as you entered "streams" of air travelling at different speeds.
It would be like walking into a rushing stream; The shock would tear planes apart.
