The atmosphere is spinning right along with the earth and, in fact, is part of the Earth and so it isn't cutting through itself.

The earth is not the atmosphere. Solids things move through gases and liquids.

We have not said that this idea was original with you. We are saying that you repeat things that have been proven FALSE... and you repeat them repeatedly.Since I did not originate "flat earth" or "We never went to the moon", arguing on behalf, e.i. repeating the arguments, of those who did was the whole point of this thread. Funny how you and so many others have missed the main point.

The atmosphere is part of the earth, Dave. It turns with the earth due to frictionThe earth is not the atmosphere. Solids things move through gases and liquids.

What "point" have we missed?
The earth does move.The earth does not move.
--Dave
That is based on your very limited set of "acceptable" inputs.The earth does not move.

The EARTH'S atmosphere moves with the earth. It's just that simple Dave.The first rule of rational though is distinction. A thing is what it is and not something else. The law of identity.
It's irrational to say the atmosphere is part of the earth. It's distinct from the earth and not anymore part of it than atmospheres are part of sun, moon, or other planets, and stars. In other words, if sun, moon, and stars or other planets have no atmosphere, then having one on earth is not a necessity, or necessarily a part of it. The atmosphere is necessary for life not for the existence of a planet.
The earth is not only said to be spinning at 1000 mph but also moving thorough space around the sun at the speed of 67,000 mph. But we never feel or experience it?

Guess what Dave? When I ride the train, the train appears to be still while the earth outside is moving.
:AMR:
Saying it doesn't make it so, Dave.
No, Dave, the atmosphere is part of the whole earth.
SURE THEY ARE, DAVE! Why on earth would you say that they are not?
The sun and all stars DO have an atmosphere.
The moon DOES have an atmosphere.
The planets DO have atmospheres.
To what extent is a different matter, but they have atmospheres. Which means that the rest of your sentence is based on a faulty premise:
You seem to have the wrong idea about what an atmosphere is.
An atmosphere is simply a layer of gases surrounding the surface of a celestial body.
They're not "for" anything.
God simply designed the atmosphere on earth differently than all others to be able to sustain life.
Non sequitur, but anyways...
If it takes a day to complete one revolution, and a year to go around a point even at that speed, then no, you won't feel it, because, relatively speaking, the amount of movement is extremely small in relation to the amount of time it takes.
Indeed Dave because the air outside of the train is moving at nearly the same speed as the earth. And the train is moving at a high speed relative to BOTH the earth and the air that moves WITH the earth.But just try riding "on top" of the train instead of "inside" of it and your experience is quite different.
What in the heck is that supposed to mean? You're RIGHT... we are on top of a MOVING earth. Moving relative to other objects in the universe.When you're on top of a moving train you know you are moving and the earth around you is not moving. We are on top of a moving earth not inside of a moving earth.

--Dave
The sun, moon, and stars or other planets have no life, no trees, no water, which means they have no atmosphere such as we have on earth.
That they have may or may not have gases is not the point.
And since we have never been anywhere else other than earth, as I have argued, then we have no way of knowing with any certainty that we are made of.
But regardless, our atmosphere of earth is not part of the earth
anymore than gases are solids.
The existence of gases do not require solids or vise versa.

Again you are acting like a child without understanding.
Sorry Dave, but you're trying to take a simple analogy to an extreme that it wasn't meant to fulfill.
We are inside the atmosphere of a moving planet, Dave. Outside the atmosphere there isn't anything significant enough to "blow" against you.
Did you have a point?The earth is not moving the atmosphere.
--Dave
Did you have a point?
The earth's atmosphere moves with the earth. It's so simple that a child can understand it.
