If the Earth was round

As in a sphere,wouldn't the constant rotations along with the shift in gravity eventually destroy the mountains and just empty the oceans and the oxygen out into space?

Also wouldn't there be Gravity anomalies up and down the Earth especially at the North Pole or the South Pole?

According to some FE'rs the earth do not rotate, and gravity is non-existant. Therefore no.

gravity pulls everything toward the cender of the earth.

Gravity is a fictitious force. What you think of as gravity is really just the earth accelerating upwards at 9.8 m/s². Have you read the FAQ?

I read quite a bit of it.

Some of it seemed to make a lot of sense.

I've always found it strange that no one ever explained conclusively how gravity works.

Any physics teacher will tell you that we don't completely understand what gravity is yet.

When it comes to gravity, you may need a mythology professor over a physics.

I'm sorry, but I didn't realize that DE/UA was any better understood than gravity.

Apology accepted.

Please read the Gravity sticky.

Here's what I think;
Gravity is the curvature of space in the presence of matter. Einstein proved this with the general theory of relativity, the Theory of Gravity. Einstein precisely calculated the curvature of light as it passes into the gravitational field of the Sun. Light only goes in straight lines in a vaccum. So the space-bending around the Sun was the cause of the curvature of the light ray observed by the astronomers.

If gravity was the rushing of the Earth in an upward direction, how would black holes happen?

Einstein proved nothing, he came up with a theory and the predictions of that theory were shown to correspond to observations within experimental uncertainty.
