I'm not completely sure what the purpose of planetary rotation is... I mean, apart from it keeping temperatures at endurable levels on earth. I know that the reason that satalites orbit is to provide centrifical force to counteract the force of gravity, and allow objects to remain in space. Perhaps the rotation of the earth provides a counter-force to the full effect of the earth's gravity. If the earth stopped rotating, maybe we'd all be crushed?

I know most theories have something to do with the earth's rotation. But ANYTHING else I have seen that rotates tends to HURL off its loose possessions like change in the pocket of a tilt-a-while patron. So the earth spinning makes us sucked towards its center. The earth is the opposite of any whiry-go-round in any playground. I have scars to prove it. I just dont get how Gravity works. I know most theories have something to do with the earth’s rotation.

I just think that we have to recognize its shortcomings, and not put <strong>blind faith</strong> in science. Oh, I have nothing against science itself - I think science is great!

Darren, dont be silly:P Of course its important to find out how stuff work. Thats how humankind has evolved. Who would have tought that a type of norwegian moss could save so many lives. Not me, but some sciencegeeks did. hehe And i think we all should be happy that some people devote there life, finding out how the univers is put together. Thats my 2 cent;) hehe.
