31. “Quoting “Zetetic Cosmogeny” Thomas Winships
states: “Let ‘imagination’ picture to the mind what force air would have which
was set in motion by a spherical body of 8,000 miles in diameter, which in one
hour was spinning round 1,000 mph, rushing through space at 65,000 mph and
gyrating across the heavens? Then let ‘conjecture’ endeavor to discover whether
the inhabitants on such a globe could keep their hair on? If the earth-globe
rotates on its axis at the terrific rate of 1,000 miles an hour, such an
immense mass would of necessity cause a tremendous rush of wind in the space it
occupied. The wind would go all one way, and anything like clouds which got
‘within the sphere of influence’ of the rotating sphere, would have to go the
same way. The fact that the earth is at rest is proved by kite flying.”
Quoting an
assertion in old piece of nonsense does not add and evidence or reasoning.
This is the same
claim yet again, and still wrong. The overall atmosphere is
at rest relative to our position on the Earth, and all our motion through space
is at a steady, unchanging rate, so we can’t feel it. So we feel only the addition more local
disturbances, usually called the wind. This is completely logical, and you
offer no reasoned argument to the contrary.
But – here’s a
funny thing! Mr Dubay is quoting an argument that directly contradicts what he said in point 23 and relied on in many other claims. Before, he said that it
would take “magic” for the rotating earth to cause the atmosphere to rotate
along with it.
Now he agrees that “If the earth-globe rotates on its axis
at the terrific rate of 1,000 miles an hour, such an immense mass would of
necessity cause a tremendous rush of wind in the space it occupied. The wind
would go all one way, and anything like clouds which got ‘within the sphere of
influence’ of the rotating sphere, would have to go the same way.”
Which is
pretty much was does happen, and the direct opposite of his earlier attempt to
pretend that “Ball-believers often claim
“gravity” magically and inexplicably drags the entire lower-atmosphere of the
Earth in perfect synchronization …such non-sensical theories are debunked”
Which
is it.? You can’t have both, Mr Dubay.
