  1. Sitting on a merry go round with 4' radius is no fun at 1 rpd. Now extend that radius by 3963 miles. The distance you travel on your globe sized merry go round is the perimeter of that circle or 2πR. 3963x2x3.14=24,887.64 per day ÷ 24 hours/day = 1037 miles per hour. One hell of a carnival ride.

  2. You don't seem to grasp that the pole star doesn't move. Your straw man is that it is riding side by side with the sun but somehow the sun moves all day long and the north star sits still in the exact same location. Build that model and calculate the velocity of polaris. It must keep up with our rotation so lets use your merry go round but add some aluminum extension arms. Instead of a 4000 mile spoke length, we need 433 light years. 433ly x 6 trillion miles per LY x2xπ ÷ 24 = 6.798e14 mph. Keep in mind this is only the rotation in one plane. Don't forget to spiral around and zoom straight. Pause and digest. Why is one star so far away going to such unfathomable lengths to stalk us perfectly if we are but a speck. Could the Bible be right? Did Werner Von Braun and his band of Nazi scientists exploit the relatively new Copernicus heliocetric model to hide God?
