The earth is a big ole ball.

Firstly, I would like to Clarify - I do not believe that the Earth is a 'Big ole ball.' - but a Globe; Although I feel that is what the Instigator is meaning, I still felt compelled to clarify. Also, would you like to address each query you raised here? Or are we focusing on the "big ole ball" part? I would also like to add that regardless of your personal wishes, the fact that we have photography and "Image compilations" and the 'old' "I saw a curve through my curved window of a plane" - They are still accepted facts in the scientific community, on these precepts alone, I believe that this debate is rendered moot, though I will continue to debate with you regardless. People who have had time to think of the right words to make aspersions to fact without irrefutable proof can always make things sound strange. (example : The myth that 'dogs cannot look up' - own a dog and hold something above them while telling them not to jump, and the answer is right there). I refute your claim that we are not a ball(Globe) spinning 1000 miles per hour while holding water perfectly still - Can you please tell me exactly where this perfectly still mass of liquid is located? BoP is on the instigator for claims like this. I CAN assure you - if you are referring to the Oceans around the world as 'Perfectly Flat" - then you probably should sail sometime before claiming this - I myself have been scared close to defecating (Hey, I was less than 12) - and those were referred to as 'small' swells - only about 12 feet waves or so. The currents that flow around the world are as a majority, underneath the water - and will constantly 'churn' the water, mixing the hot/cold water, mixing minerals and assisting aquatic animals through their migratory routes. If you are referencing flat waters in a more stationary body of water - such as lakes, islands or ponds - then I have a question to ask you - You reference cars in your claim, so I feel safe to assume that you have been inside one at one point in your life. When you were driving in the car, did you ever take water with you ? Water in a car that is travelling at speeds greater that 1mph will not be affected, as the water is technically moving at the same speeds as the vehicle - If you were to apply the brakes heavily on the car, or alternatively rapidly increase acceleration - the water will most certainly experience a shift, usually in the form of on your lap/front window. Water travelling outside of a car will most certainly experience something different - however who drives with water on their roof, and expect to keep it? Within the context of the worlds mass of liquid - such as oceans, lakes, rivers - pretty much all of them - They are currently in the 'car' (I.e. The Earth) - Their 'cups' are the spaces that it has successfully settled itself into, usually via rain. Those vessels of water are moving with the 'car' - and they are not affected as in actuality the water is moving at exactly the same speed. A joking representation of if the earth was to stop moving suddenly : http://cdn.makeagif.com... GPS Tracking along the hemispheres are affected by a myriad of issues, let alone the Satellite coverage that may be missed when this happens. I will await confirmation if you wish to proceed with this, however I have strong evidence to support my claims. The moon is not its' own source of light - It is 100% reflecting the light from the Sun and from surrounding (I use 'Surrounding' loosely here) stars, even during night time - Misconception with no method of proving what is correct has caused this to actually be under discussion.

Boats hulls are specifically designed to be Buoyant (i.e. Floating on water), Having a un-buoyant (Referred to as having a *negative* buoyancy), the boat would not float, the craft would not sail past the dock you unloaded it off in the first place, Suggesting Gravity would somehow divert the intentional purpose of a working boat (Floating on water) - then I would blame the creator of the craft, as it most certainly is not a boat/ship - and it being sucked underwater with *gravity* is completely debunked. (I'd check for holes in the Hull before I believe Gravity had a hand in sinking it) I hope I have helped if this is an honest debate, otherwise I look forward to your response.
