Then why make a complete arse of yourself and place such ridiculous nonsense on the internet in the first place ?

it is useless to debate with anyone on this forum.

The real question was "How would you explain that ? I mean is the flat earth some sort of spinning plate? Or is it simply because of the angular momentum round planets tend to have?" + It doesn't matter how much you magnify, the image will always move

I have a simple question: Everytime I magnify more than 250x with my telescope, I can see the object I'm viewing moving through my eyepiece from one side to the other. How would you explain that ? I mean is the flat earth some sort of spinning plate? Or is it simply because of the angular momentum round planets tend to have?

I quote:

Earth spins because of the way it was formed. Our solar system formed about 4.6 billion years ago when a huge cloud of gas and dust started to collapse under its own gravity. As the cloud collapsed, it started to spin. Some of the material within this cloud gathered into swirling eddies and eventually formed into planets. As the planets formed they kept this spinning motion. This is similar to what you see when skaters pull in their arms and spin faster. As material gathered in more closely to form a planet, like Earth, the material spun faster. The Earth keeps on spinning because there are no forces acting to stop it.
