I just need ot be a little careful here...my beef is not with any "theological" aspects of that person's world view.

Simply the physics of what would happen if mother earth suddenly stopped spinning. (BTW.... no, we would not "float off"....gravity will continue to work just fine)...as I said, interesting given the large numbers involved...

The kinetic rotational energy of the earth...about 2.14 x 10^26 Kilowatts per second ? (my math could be dodgy, but we are close) has to go somewhere.... eg melt rocks etc.
