Unpacking the Flat Earth Code II

In "Unpacking the Flat Earth Code" I examined a flat earth statement whose meaning is the firmament. In this example, I will examine a flat earth statement that points to the ten commandments.
I recently came across this tweet:
I presume he wrote this part, "Philosophy& propaganda will never make water stick to a spinning ball." This statement is at 1st problematic because he refers to a Newtonian law about setting things in motion and their staying in motion, i.e. the ball will spin, the water-in motion-will fly off of it, etc. But on 2nd thought, he really asserts a flat earth principle, namely, the laws of science do not work. Extending his argument, he asserts there is no such thing as gravity. Gravity is presumed to be the force of attraction to the earth. In MIKEd's tweet "you think" gravity keeps the water in the ocean. Like most flat earthers, MIKEd says it doesn't. He asserts gravity cannot be proven. Extending his argument gives this argument: Since gravity cannot be proven there is nothing that holds a substance like water to the earth. Since the water does not fly off and away from the Earth, the earth is not round, and by extension, we say (or, are taught to say) it is round. In this way he concludes the earth is (therefore) flat.
We are left with MIKEd's statement (my restatement)"You can't tell me it's gravity." My Flat Earth Theory can unpack the code MIKEd is using to make his claim and resolve a non-sensical 'there is no gravity' into a sensible 'flat earth means.'
What is illogical in MIKEd's tweet is his denial that water does not follow Newtonian principles for a round object in motion. Rather than investigate the cause of water not following Newtonian principles on a round surface he asserts the opposite. The surface is flat. At this illogical juncture we find flat earth validity. In fact, MIKEd is not examining a phenomenological object. He is examining a noumenal object. The terms to describe his noumenal object are, in fact, different. They create the flat earth reality. Here is his grab bag of terms: "philosophy," "propaganda," "water," "stick," "spinning," "ball." These terms redefine themselves as flat earth terms and are a code for a saying from the ten commandments.
The priority of meaning in this redefinition is to redefine the missing term, "gravity." Gravity is not the physical force of attraction for physical objects to the Earth. It is redefined as a noumenal object upon which is given the meaning of 'the spinning ball with its non-sticking water.' This noumenal object, e.g. a tablet, has written on it this very statement. In the phenomenal world this statement makes nonsense out of science. But in the noumenal world it is a statement on the table of the ten commandments. The statement most closely like this one is the 2nd commandment. IN the 2nd commandment are the terms, "carved image" (gravity) "earth," (ball) "water."
My Flat Earth theory unpacks the code that allows flat earth statements to make sense. I have not explained the theory alongside this explication of MIKEd's flat earth tweet. But I remind reader's that the theory posits an authority not based in science, but phenomenological, to validate meaning. Most flat earth statements refer to either the firmament, or the ten commandments. However, I have identified a class of flat earth statements made by worldly kingdoms the refer to worldly events, and that are statements both good, and evil.
