I left after a brief troll infestation pissed me off. I usually keep browsers open and continually minimize them and reopen them to check forums. After I closed it, I forgot about it and never got around to checking it again. ...Until now.

I have debated that heavily in other threads. What are you looking for then? The derivative relationship of acceleration and velocity? You horribly abuse reference frames to meet your own purposes. Another moderator admits it:
According to the Flat Earthers, Earth is a short, wide cylinder, several thousand miles across but only a few miles thick, and gravity is caused by some force accelerating the whole planet at a constant rate of 9.8m/s/s, meaning Earth would have accelerated past lightspeed one year after acceleration began. Since the Earth has had gravity much longer than one year, this claim is demonstrably false, but that doesn't bother them.

Its hard to believe you do0n't see the problems on your own. Consider a hang glider in RE. He glides on the air resisting gravity by immediate wind power from his own speed creating upward thrust. On the FE model, the Earth is accelerating up to him with him remaining at the same height from a marco-perspective. The problem with this is FE depends on the Earth pushing the air pushing the hang glider in order to maintain distance from the ground. Resiting a still object doesn't require accelerating yourself up at 9.8 to maintain the effect of constant altitude. An immovable object (for hypothetical and demonstrative purposes) would appear to fall at 9.8m/secē. On FE, the earth is accelerating up so the thrust of wind power would not equal the maintaining relative altitude on RE where someone appears suspend by calm gliding.

FE would require the air to push up on the hang glider with near equal force as the Earth while he is in the sky. Your original thought of accelerating the Earth was clever, but you simplified it in your minds to have the same effect in RE and FE leaving you vulnerable to attack. rar.

The earth is accelerating up to him at 9.8m/s^2, so in order for him to maintain his altitude, he must produce an upwards acceleration of 9.8m/s^2 via lift.  I fail to see the complication.  Perhaps you should brush up on the Equivalence Principle.

We should probably relocate this to debate rather than keep it in general discussion..  :D
What are you looking for then? The derivative relationship of acceleration and velocity?
Yes.
Ok then. This seems rather elementary... but anyways:
Velocity is the distance an object travels divided by the time it takes it to do so. (with direction)
Acceleration is the derivative of velocity meaning the change in velocity over time, or distance over time squared. If you have taken a Calculus class, (I'm pretty sure you have) acceleration is the slope of the graph of velocity and time, where velocity is a function of time.

All thats left is plugging in the lowest estimation of the age of the universe and assuming that the Earth's original velocity was nearly the speed of light straight down. (To allow for the greatest time duration of constant acceleration before reaching the speed of light in the opposite direction)

The equivalence principle applies to standing on the ground and feeling the same effect the if a force is applied. A person in free fall doesn't feel any force but that doesn't necessarily mean one isn't acting on him. (we only detect force by different portions of our bodies accelerating differently than others. For instance, eyes become the primary sensors of movement for astronauts (if you believe in astronauts lol). More to the point, I believe problems arise when you say that the Earth is accelerating at 9.8 m/sē and also claim that that acceleration causes warping of space that attracts objects. Might I ask, how is an object that's in the air not relatively accelerating towards the Earth the full 9.8 m/sē plus additional attraction from the gravitation (from acceleration) of the Earth? Both influences would compound the effect and the object would appear to be more attracted would it not?

Right.  And there is your problem.  A = dv/dt is a low speed approximation.  The FE is not low speed.  You need to take relativistic effects into account.  Doing so, means an object can accelerate at a constant rate forever, and never reach the speed of light.  Point to FE.

Quote
The equivalence principle applies to standing on the ground and feeling the same effect the if a force is applied.
The Equivalence Principle applies locally, everywhere.  It doesn't matter if you are standing on the ground or hanging from a tree swing.  There is no local experiment, observation or thought example, that is explained by 'gravity' that can not be explained by acceleration.  Thanks be to the Equivalence Principle. 

The 9.8m/s^2 acceleration is due to the acceleration of the FE, as the FET holds that the earth does not create a gravitational field.

Quote
I wasn't serious when I said it was relevant or that it was specific to the shape of the Earth. RE theory doesn't depend on dark energy like FE depends on the UA.
So?  You stated the RE does not have a massive energy source.  Dark Energy is one such source.  You get to have one, but the FET can't?
