Of course it does.  Just don't try to chase it or you will fall off the end of the Earth.

Of course it's just a matter of perspective,but it still needs human sacrifice to spin around.

No, lol - Im being serious.  What I posted makes sense.  Just because something depends on a perspective doesn't make it an illusion.

The sun starts low in the horizon and I can look straight at it.  It goes high in the sky and I have to bend my neck up to see it.  That sure sounds like rising to me.  Then I have to bend my neck back down to see it in the west, that sure sounds like setting to me.



So just because the earth looks flat from my perspective means that the flatness is not an illusion?

Locally it is flat.  But I dont think that is a proper analogy. 

I can define a plane at my feet tangent to the earth to be the baseline.  When something goes above this plane (in the direction of my head) it is rising.  When something goes from above this plane back down into it it is setting.  At sun rise the sun lies in this plane, at my base level.  It then rises above this plane and in the after noon it sets back into the plane.  No illusion about it.
