Isn't amazing that the oceans can stayed locked to the planet while it spins around? How can all that water mass stay in place? that blows me away. Still don't believe in God?

The idea of that "one god" theory you have and which you always seem to want to push down people's throats is that I don't believe any of the things you do, although I do have my own religious beliefs.
The thing that keeps water on the planet are nice little things called "gravity," and "mass," since without those, Earth would be a vacuum, and anything on the planet would be cast into space - meaning there wouldn't be any life or your claims for that matter.
Per your question, I have seen the Earth from space, in the form of satellite images relayed back from orbital stations that do wonders such as track weather.

gravity you can do it with a spinning top or fan and a peice of paper not hard ....you hookas-pokas people kill me .. Now you say you believe in God Why dont you believe God could have created science and that your good book has flaws. A lot of thing can be duplicated through science. Thing have been proven and disproven though Science. you christian hate science and fail to see that there is room for both how sad to have blind ..."faith" ...Seek wisdom knowledge and understanding of the I self and many answers will come to you and you wont waste 5 points :-) By the way Earth is IN space

F(gravitational) = GMm / r^2. The universe used to be a buncha gases and loose particles, eventually due to electromagnetic and gravitational attractions they clumped up, forming the bodies you see today. The centripetal force which should push the water outwards is in no way sufficient to overcome the gravitational attraction of the earth. It's not magic.

it is amazing, even if you look at the details of a simple leaf you will see how amazing and complex it really is, I only wish I could see the earth from space .... that would be amazing beyond words,
about God well....... its a personal quest that only you can go on, no one can make you believe in something you don't want to believe in, in the end God guides whomever he wishes, and if he wanted he would make all people believe in him, why doesn't he do that !! I have no clue, no one does, but its a wisdom only he possess, its all a matter of........ Faith I guess. ;)

Personally, and in terms of the international community's definition of space, no.
However, if you were to magically step outside of an airliner at 40000 feet altitude (and weren't killed by the wind blast or the extreme cold) you would have to agree that it is, essentially, space. But, you'd better agree fast because there isn't enough air at that altitude to support you for very long.

its the gravity between the earth's surface (surface beneath the earth) and the sea water.Gravity can be calculated by the formula:
G=M1*M2/R^2
where G is the gravity,M1 and M2 are the masses of the two bodies and R is the distance between their centres .

nope not god. GRAVITY! the reason the water stayes more or less in place is because the earth is spinning.

I see it from space between my eyes and my feet.
I can direct your attentions to Sir Issac Newton's works. Which if you choose to study them you may agree as to why we don't fall off the Earth.

I've never really been swayed by the "I'm scientifically ignorant. Now do you believe in God?" style of argument.

Yes, I still don't believe in god. But I do believe in gravity. Ever hear of it?
