Dear stupid: how many times does the earth rotate in a year?

U still see the element of IRON in the core. Now if u proved to me that the core does not contain IRON at all then my statement would be useless. But it is very interesting to see that IRON is in the core. Just because the Earth isn't a perfect sphere doesn't mean it doesn't have an exact center. We as humans aren't shaped perfectly as a particular shape but I guarantee there is some point in each of our bodies that is our EXACT CENTER. Then u dug urself an even deeper hole to climb out of when u said The Earth surface is ABOUT 71% covered in water. 71.111% is ABOUT 71% less than .1% difference that's really close to or as u say ABOUT 71%. here's the link to verify the scientific confirmation of that water.usgs.gov/edu/earthhowmuch.html

So what I said was true: you're just peddling bullshit. You said the earth had EXACTLY 71.11% of its surface covered by water, and I've pointed out to you that number includes ice and snow which add ~1.7% to that number, meaning the amount of liquid water on the surface of the earth is between 69-70%. Let me reiterate this to you: under the 71% figure, Mt Everest the highest point on the planet is counted as covered by water not land. Antarctica is considered to be the driest continent; yet under the the calculation you're using it's 100% covered in water! The 71% figure only tells you where the world's water is - some of it is in glaciers, some of it in permafrost, some of it is snow, a tiny bit of it is in the atmosphere, most of it is in the oceans, and some of it is fresh water. If you're going to count all the states of H2O then it becomes apparent that the whole world is covered in  a mist containing water vapour. If you're going to count LIQUID WATER which is what we mean when we say water, then the earth is ~69-70 covered in it. Adding snow and ice to that number is completely misleading. As I said, no matter what number the Qu'ran came up with (and it doesn't come up with any such number anyway), you can use a whole variety of calculations to come to whatever number it says.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK


"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
