The above picture is a fanciful representation of the globular earth, and the supposed effect of its hypothetical rotation on the trajectory of a bullet. The Empirical Occult (science) maintains that this "coriolis effect" is true. However, if it were true, and the earth was round and spinning, bird migrations would not be possible. The earth should spin under them as they flew, just like it supposedly does for a flying bullet. Think about it this way: the earth spins under a bullet, which is in the air for a few seconds at best. Birds stay in the air for hours when migrating during spring and autumn. How could they find their way home if their destination was constantly moving away beneath them? [b]This just shows how much the Empirical Occult contradicts itself with its so called "science"[/b]
[spoiler]The soldiers of truth and reason of the Flat Earth Society have drawn the sword, and ere another generation has been educated and grown to maturity, will have forced the usurpers to abdicate. Like the decayed and crumbling trees of an ancient forest, rent and shattered by wind and storm, the hypothetical philosophies, which have hitherto cumbered the civilized world, are unable to resist the elements of experimental and logical criticism; and sooner or later must succumb to their assaults. The axe is uplifted for a final stroke - it is about to fall upon the primitive sphere of the earth, and the blow will surely “cut the cumberer down!”

What? "Spins beneath them?" It's the same concept as jumping on a moving object. If I'm on a train and I jump, I don't land farther back on the train, since I'm still affected by the train's acceleration. We're [i]all[/i] affected by the earth's rotation. It's why planes have to provide thrust and lift to travel. If we could free ourselves from the earth's rotation by leaving the surface, taking a helicopter straight up into the air would be the easiest method of travel. Just let the earth turn beneath you.
