just shows how ignorant you really are.
I know you think that if you repeat false statements often enough that some people will think it is true, but this is so silly because it's easy to check. It's not like you can hide the Earth.

Here's the group that keeps tabs on the Earth's rotation. You can see graphs of just how far the earth wobbles.

Here's a little refresher course on Earth & Moon orbits.

I didn't see it explicitly say that the Earth doesn't wobble around like slow top, flip over, and then spin back up into a stable arrangement. Probably because the professor didn't think any of the students could be that ignorant and still get into school. Just imagine what would happen if the Earth did flip over, the moon would get jerked along and probably flung off into space. Not to mention the large scale die off of creatures suddenly thrust into different temperature zones. Hmm, if it flipped would the sun rise in the west and set in the east?
