Here's an uneducated question:

When the earth spins at 1000miles/hour, does the atmosphere spin with it?
The Earth does not "spin at 1000miles/hour" that is not how one measures the velocity of spin.

The Earth only "spins at" 15 degrees per hour.

Tell me, if you sat on an object that rotated only one time a day do you think that you could feel that motion?

But, yes, the atmosphere does move with the Earth. Why do you think that it would not?

Lol.

Here, according to google:

The earth rotates once every 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.09053 seconds, called the sidereal period, and its circumference is roughly 40,075 kilometers. Thus, the surface of the earth at the equator moves at a speed of 460 meters per second--or roughly 1,000 miles per hour.

I believe we live on the surface of the earth (I may be wrong).

So we're currently moving at a speed of 1000 miles per hour?

And the atmosphere is moving with us?

Amazing!

You tell me why you think it would.

You tell me why you think it would.
You do not understand motion. That is why I asked you if you were ever on a jet plane. Obviously not. I asked you my question first and you dodged it. You can't complain if others do not answer your poorly asked questions when you do not answer those asked of you.

As to why the atmosphere would move with the Earth the answer should be rather obvious. A combination of air resistance and momentum means that it would have to.

If you wish to learn the physics you should have learned by the ninth grade I will be happy to help you. It may take some time. A serious Christian should want to know if his beliefs are correct or not. Yours appear to be so wrong that you end up calling God a liar, even though you do not realize it.

Hahahaha...

I'm sorry. This answer does not appear to hold water.

Do you care elaborating?

A lack of education on your part does not mean that the explanation does not hold water. I asked you a question a twice now. You have dodged it.

Have you ever been in a jet air liner?

I lack education. And I have never been in a jet air liner.

Agreed.

Now educate me:

You say, the earth is currently spinning, at 1000 miles/hour.

And the clouds we see, are spinning with it.

How?

Why wouldn't they be? Do you suppose there should be some kind of friction in space that would hold them back?

Visit the Diomede Islands from Alaska in the US, head west towards its extremes and see if you burst out in Russia.
Are you suggesting that you won't? You do understand that Alaska was originally colonised by Russians don't you. It didn't become part of the USA until 1867.
Speed is speed. It's built on distance and time. The greater the speed, the greater the forces to contend with. And 1000 miles/hr is no small speed.
When you are in a plane cruising a little slower than the speed of sound, how fast does it feel for the passengers?

Did you watch the video?

Did you see the message at the end?

There is nothing new in this video except your model lacks the dome over the top and your sun is spinning around it.

Every eye will see, no matter where they are. I don't see how this is relevant to this argument. The shape of the world doesn't make a difference to this, even if it was shaped like a triangular prism or a potato. I don't limit God to needing everyone on some flat disk to see him, the same way he didn't need the sun on day 1 to have night and day.

For your theory on the shape of the earth to be correct,
1) You need plausible explanations for the earths basic laws. For example a person can sail around the world, how does this work on this model?

2) You also need a plausible explanation for claiming that multiple governments have a very large, very expensive Hoax going on. Saying NASA pictures are a hoax is not good enough, what would be their reason for it?How do they benefit from it?

3) If this is a doctrine we need scripture that directly supports the view of this disk-shaped world. While poetry and songs can support other scripture, you can't build a doctrine on poetry. You also need way more than "every eye will see", this is a miracle, miracles are outside of scientific explanation.

Don't bother about obstacles, just head west and burst out east. Simple
So if your model of the earth is a cylinder, why don't you depict it as such?

It's called viscosity. If you fill a bath with water then repeatedly drag your hand in one direction on one side of the bath, eventually the water will be circulating the bath tub at the same speed. The earth's surface causes a lot more drag on the atmosphere than your hand in the water.

Indeed. Although inertia is also a factor in determining the complex air flows within the atmosphere:

Once again, one does not measure spin in miles per hour. Spin is measured in degrees or radians or revolutions per day, or hour, or second. The Earth rotates one time every day. It does not seem to be nearly that fast if you think of it in those terms. Your version is meaningless since you did not say what the velocity was relative to.

Have you ever been in a train? A bus? Anything that moves where you were a passenger. If you threw something within the car, or train, or bus, it does not matter how fast the vehicle was moving as long as the velocity was constant. It would be the same as throwing something when you were standing on the ground.
