Wow, I've been gone for a week and I come back to find all this forum space wasted trying to convince someone without the barest understanding of knowledge that he should at least look at evidence. Give it up. Don't confuse him with the facts. He's not interested.

You asked essentially the same question couple of weeks ago, and I answered it. I suggest you go back and reread my answer (or read it for the first time, more likely). Just substitute airplanes for cannonballs, and adjust the speeds a bit. Same thing. |

Or as they say, you can't reason a person out of a position he didn't reason himself into. True, but I never write my replies with the expectation of changing the mind of the person who I am addressing. I am hopeful only of influencing any open-minded person who might be reading the discussion. Plus I take a perverse pleasure in seeing just how far down the rabbit hole some people will go...

If you want to know how fast the universe is spinning around the earth, all you have to do is look up and see the Sun, Moon and the stars are travelling through space. This is real time.
I had the privilege of lying on a beach in Kerala, India and looking up at the star filled sky and watching the universe moving very SLOWLY. :) Edited by Abu Loren - 24 June 2014 at 4:34am |

Slowly?
If the earth were stationary and the stars orbiting around it, then even the nearest stars would have to be moving at many times the speed of light. |

The moral of the story is your eyes do not deceive you. What you SEE is what is real.
We have been given intelligence, understanding, reasoning, common sense. Alhahdulilah! So use it. |
