the earth drags the atmosphere round with it as it rotates, higher up the atmosphere is less affected by the spin of the earth and you get massive winds. this doesn't work in reverse (i.e. earth remains still everything else drags the atmosphere, closers to the earth there is less drag from everything else) as outside the atmosphere is a vacuum and therefore there is no matter cause friction and any mass sufficient enough to cause the dragging by gravity would not have its gravitation sufficiently depleted in the distance between the upper atmosphere and the surface of the earth to account for the difference in wind speeds.crudus said:Ok, lets see how good you are.
Everything revolves around the Earth while the Earth remains motionless. You can prove the latter just by watching the heavens; they move as we stay put. The former is easily proven by a simple experiment. Imagine driving in a convertible. You throw a ball up. The ball will fly backwards. If the Earth was moving then you would fly back in the same fashion every time you jumped.
there is also the coriolis effect which causes specific air patterns due to the interaction between air currents and the earths rotation.
there are probably more complete ways to disprove that but this was the first one i thought of and i want to go to sleep.
morals are personal, relative and defined by culture, if their cultural reference point is satanism where human sacrifice is morally fine then your judgement that it is immoral is irrelevant to them. whether something is moral or not is not a property which actually exists outside of the mind of the person making the judgement.Jewrean said:All Devil-Worshipers that sacrifice people to Satan are immoral because killing people is just plain wrong.
of course this doesn't stop it being illegal and them being prosecuted for it because its murder. which makes it a nice way of point out that morals are pretty much irrelevant when it comes to making laws and you're better off basing it on the harm and benefit caused to the people concerned.
(i hope you realise this is just a thought experiment and human sacrificing satanists don't exist outside the fevered imaginations of bible belters hopped up on JAYZUS and moneyspinning preachers)
