One of your primary arguments is that earth is spinning so fast that we should be flung off.
One of the explanations of flat earth thought is that instead of gravity, the earth simply rises at 9.8 m/s^2.
So tell me.
Why are we not crushed under the acceleration?
Because if we can be spun around and not be flung off, then how can we move very fast through space and not be crushed?

Edited by Dredwerkz: 8/14/2016 2:14:05 PM9.8m/s^2 is the acceleration objects have when they fall towards the earth. If there were no gravity and the earth just rose at 9.8m/s nothing would ever fall faster than that.

Thank you for telling me what I already know.

So the theory's bollocks then.
-
Yes, but Flat Earthers aren't necessarily the most rational people.
-
That is not a sufficient speed to be felt. And remember: objects unsuspended in space tend to fall at 9.8m/sec. The earth merely moves up into them. So the earth does not even have that full force.
-
But we are accelerating at 9.8 m/s^2. After a while that speed builds up until terminal velocity. We'd be moving very fast.

Don't bother this guy is a troll
