3- THE EARTH DOES ROTATE EVEN THOUGH WE ARE NOT CONSCIOUS OF IT
God says in the Holy Quran:
88- When you look at the mountains, you think that they are standing still. But they are moving like clouds. Such is the artistry of God, who disposes of all things in perfect order. He is indeed fully aware of what you do.
27-The Ant, 88
The mountains’ features seem to make them the most stationary components of the earth’s surface. The idea of the unattainability of mountains led certain primitive mentalities to believe in polytheism and fancy that the mountains were the abode of divinities. The idea of mountain peaks being beyond man’s reach was an illusion, as was also their stationary aspect. The verse refers to this illusion and speaks of the motion of mountains like clouds. If the mountains that had a stationary aspect did move, it would follow that the earth itself also moved. The verse thus dismisses the idea of a fixed world entertained as a consequence of false perception, and informed the public of the time of the movement of mountains, likening them to clouds.
Galileo Galilei (Italian astronomer and physicist) argued that the earth moved and the sun stood in the center and because of what he said the ****** forced him to spend the last eight years of his life under house arrest.
although the bible said
Psalm 104 )New International Version)

5 He set the earth on its foundations;
it can never be moved.
