Paradigm Shifts, Science, and Revisionist History

If the Earth was spinning::::

1) We would be able to fly directly up in a helicopter, wait an hour, then descend in a straight line and we would be 1000 miles away from where we took off.
I think you'd have to fly out of the Earth's atmosphere to do that.

2) There could be no life on Earth cos of the unimaginable G forces.
What are G forces? The only forces I'm aware of in nature are gravity, electromagnetic force, strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force.

3) It would contradict the Bible.
How?
 
How does it contradict the Bible? I am genuinely curious, I would hate to be against God's Word.

As for the Helicopter thing. It is the same principal as when you throw a ball up in a moving car, no matter the speed of the car the ball does not go backwards. Same with the reason a helicopter can go up and come down and be nearly in the same spot (nearly because flying a helicopter is wicked hard and it is near impossible to keep it stable).

Well. One example that immediately comes to mind is Joshuas long day::::::

10:12 Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD
delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said
in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou,
Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the
book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and
hasted not to go down about a whole day.

How is this possible if the Earth is spinning?

I think your getting Coreolis effect confused in there.
 
I shall consider the scripture in study!

And I really could be wrong with that, I just remember this talk me and a friend had about this same thing...

No probs Pard. Take your time.

Yeah....the ball and train thing is usually the explanation of Coreolis.....

.....which is beautifully covered in the Geocentric model.
 
uh, sl , every actual fly any fixed wing aircraft and or rotary wing.

the fixed wing account for the rotation of the earth when they travel , as they have to, yes we can travel in straight lines to the destation but it would take longer.

the rotation of the earth is used to shorten the distance traveled.

on helicopters
they hover when the blades are up,and there isnt suffecient forward force to move it forward, when they tilt the blade in the direction they want to go the bird will go there.

if a helicopter isnt still then how does the army rangers, infantry repel to the lz, or put equipment on the lz?


btw helicopters doesnt fly they beat the air into submission.!
