I did. Things are the way they are. The sun moving across the sky is also an effect of the Earth's rotation if you want to see it that way. There are many effects in nature. Even falling from the roof is an effect. We can cook up all kinds of explanations the way witch doctors do.
The planet rotates partly because of motion within the core, gravity, and torque generated by the planet’s orbit around the sun, among other things.
This is all stuff that you can find in a science textbook.
The science textbook is a book of knowledge, stuff that we cooked up to explain natural phenomena.
I’ve done experiments that satisfy the burden of proof that the planet rotates. I have yet to see one that proves otherwise.
You don't think that Newton had done experiments to prove that bodies have mass and attract each other? New theories of atomic and quantum physics have come up with different stories.
Look, if you want to stick to your science textbook, that's fine. This is a philosophy thread. It is meant for challenging accepted concepts of reality. Bookworms can't do this.
