Well, hello there. Hello. Welcome to my video message. Thank you. To the atheist, move that world wide. We are here to debunk you. Oh, no. Have you ever wondered why the earth does not suffer from severe hurricanes and wind blasts that would blow mankind right off this planet? Hmm. No. Speaking along, it's 67,000 miles per hour, and spinning at a thousand miles per hour, would certainly test your fortitude to stay on the orbital earth vehicle, which it is not moving. What? It's been that way from the beginning. It's written that way in the Holy Word of God. And for some reason, it was withheld. And the students as Helio centers, it depends on your perception. If you're looking from the earth and the stars are moving and the sun is moving, and you say, yes, we're moving around them, that's your perception. It's just like the old fashioned wind up clock. When you wound it up, if you let go of it and you held onto the clock, the key went around. And if you held onto the key, the clock went around. Colonel Sanders is right. Now can we know that the earth isn't standing still, and the entire universe isn't spinning around us? After all, the Bible says the earth is fixed, and here are the biblical verses to prove it. Psalm 931, the Lord reigns, He is clothe with majesty. The Lord is clothe with strength, wherewith He has girded Himself. The world also is established that it cannot be moved. Psalm 9610. You're what's giving me in. Say among the Heathen the Lord reigns. The world also shall be established that it shall not be moved. And there are a lot more verses where that came from. Megasage is making a list, and we can only assume He's checking it twice. Biblical scholars believed in a fixed earth for much longer than they believed the earth orbits the sun. A moving earth was the key heresy that church inquisitors forced Galileo to rescind, and it wasn't until 1992 that the Pope officially admitted that Galileo was right all along. So isn't Megasage just one man crying in the wilderness? Oh my God, this two of them! Has it been cloned? No apparently belief in a geocentric world where stars and galaxies whizz around the earth at trillions of times the speed of light, defying the laws of physics, apparently that belief is held by many creationists, and not just by old men who look as though they're trying to form a zizi top tribute band. It's also shared by our next golden crocodile nominee, Ferny Boy. He reckons he can prove it with physics. In this video we're going to look at the situation and we're going to see if the earth can possibly be spinning or not. Great, an experiment! That's what science is all about. So what experiment has Ferny Boy done to show that the earth isn't spinning? Taken measurements of the relative velocities of distant galaxies, done a recalculation of Coriolis forces on earth or the speed of the jet stream. Know his budget didn't quite stretch to that. Yes, Ferny Boy invested about a hundred bucks in a toy truck and a remote controlled model helicopter. The principle behind this is, if the earth was spinning at 1,000 miles an hour at the equator, then as soon as you'd jump in the air, you'd be left behind as the earth keeps spinning underneath you. Or looked at from the perspective of the people who are standing, if you'd jump in the air it would look as though you're being suddenly shot backwards at 1,000 miles an hour. Ferny Boy shows this principle here, the vehicle keeps moving, but when the helicopter rises, it doesn't move with it. I hope you realise what this means. It means that if you open the door and leap from a moving express train, you'll be instantly motionless. You face nothing worse than a simple drop of a few feet to the ground. So why didn't David Adams simply jump down a couple of feet and walk away from this train instead of pretending he's got some sort of forward momentum and doing a dramatic role in the sand? Obviously, just showing off. I don't think that was the smartest move in the world. Jumping with friends I don't recommend. I don't know if I actually broke my collarbone, but I've certainly given a hell of a jar. So I just see what happens. But I wouldn't recommend jumping off trains. On the contrary, if Ferny Boy is right, then there's no danger at all in jumping off a moving train or a moving truck, because as his experiment showed, objects don't have inertia. In fact, there's no point in trains even stopping at stations. Passengers could just leap out whenever they like, because they have no forward momentum. It would be no worse than jumping off a log. In fact, Ferny Boy should move to the next logical step of his experimental process and be the first to try out his new theory on a speeding train. Now of course, the smart asses among you will say that moving objects have inertia and that this has been established ever since Isaac Newton laid down his laws on motion in the 17th century. Well, what does Isaac Newton know? Ferny Boy is just disproved it with a helicopter, something they didn't have back then. And of course, you could say that obviously the helicopter would be able to counteract its forward momentum because it's powered, and Newton's law says that an object will continue moving unless acted on by an external force, such as the force of the rotor blades or air resistance. Well, all I can say to that is, good point. But like scary Colonel Sanders, Ferny Boy doesn't base his views on the laws of physics, but on what he calls the word of God. Now there's just one problem with Ferny Boy. He's clearly so clueless about basic physics that it's possible this is a parody. It's sometimes hard to tell the difference. So let's go to a real creationist and a man whose IQ is off the charts to get the definitive word on how modern creationists no longer believe this Bronze Age belief that the Earth is the immoverable center of the universe. It's all relative. It's anyway. I'm kind of sitting on the fence on that one. You're doing lots. The direction of the Earth is spinning. Coriolis forces, for example, is one reason I would say the Earth is spinning. God loves fun. How about gravity? And the great thing about a man whose IQ is off the charts is that you can actually hear the gears of his brain grinding as they contemplate this 500 year old piece of information. What about it? It's a little bit like a magnet. If you have a small magnet and a big magnet, the big magnets, the one that's going to pull the little magnet around and not the little that's going to pull the big one. So if you compare the Earth next to the sun, which one's going to make the other one spin around? The Sun will make the Earth spin around. So that's one of the other reasons too. It's the whole gravitational thing. Because geocentrism would be wrong on this, but I would think geocentrism requires a continuous miracle. It's kind of the clincher for me. Because you would have to have this, let's say the Sun is orbiting around the Earth, then it's going to, over time, it's going to get out of balance and it's going to switch places to Sun and wind up and melt for the reasons you just said. I know there's going to wind up on the outside. No, it's not going to go out of balance or switch places. Two large bodies in space orbit each other according to a very basic law of physics, neither one orbits the other. In fact, they both orbit a common point called the Barry Center in between their centers of mass. In the case of our solar system, the Sun and planets orbit around their common Barry Center. Of course, because the Sun's so massive, the Barry Center is actually very close to the center of the Sun, but the result gives the Sun a very distinctive wobble. You can also see it in the way a hammer thrower pivots around the Barry Center between him and the hammer. The thrower moves with a slight wobble. Come on Ian, I learnt this in 7th grade. My physics teacher even gave us the example of the hammer thrower. It's as easy to understand as that. So it's not a case of maybe a larger object orbited a smaller one and then they switched around. You've got to at least be able to look at a junior high school science textbook and figure out why that can't happen. You could even have checked that by the time it took you to lay out a dinosaur egg display. Still one thing I'll say for these geosentrists is at least they're being honest in their interpretation of the Bible. It does indeed say that the Earth is the center of the universe and doesn't move. So only when science came along and showed that that was not the case that all of a sudden the Bible was reinterpreted. As it always is when science shows it's wrong.
