Paul on YouTube - caught lying, making unsubstantiated scientific claims

Dear Paul,

Fact check = You FAIL
For making unsubstantiated scientific claims.
It's easy to talk and spout off lies, but when you were asked to provide evidence to back up what you claim (a scientific assertion), you did not.

Readers, judge for yourself the following.

Mr. Paul Gabriel left this note in the comment section of Paul's video. It's instructions on how to do a simple experiment, that proves the Earth rotates and is also round/globe shaped:

+Paul, so here is a very easy and inexpensive way to prove that we live on a rotating globe with gravity. Try this experiment for yourself, as I have, and let us know your results. Weight scales like the one listed below are accurate to .001 grams. Buy a standard weight (say 500 grams) for $6 only. Calibrate your scale to accurately measure that weight as 500 grams at your home. Then take both pieces of equipment on a road trip. Travel due north or due south, say 500-miles, and then measure the weight at your new location. You will find that the weigh there is now slightly different. The farther north or south that you travel, that 500 grams will weigh more and more than at your home. Because a spherical Earth spins at a different rate depending upon latitude, and the centripetal force exerted on the weight is less, the 500 grams will weight more than that; it will change with latitude. We are fortunate that today we rely on fact and logic, not superstition or belief. Anyone, including you, can do the experiment outlined here, and see your own proof. {..http://www.torbalscales.com/ad60.html?gclid=CjwKEAjwjPXIBRDhwICRg-DbgHISJADP6QXpkQuvcAHHymwYdkrqq3QBx3s5iGPtm_-pPF9j6v2cLBoCZh3w_wcB {..http://www.officemachinedepot.com/500-gram.html?gclid=CjwKEAjwjPXIBRDhwICRg-DbgHISJADP6QXpbPRw7NA8XakwaJxDMGABuUs14iTKRP1-eXZsKBakmRoCIiPw_wcB

Mr. Paul responded as follows...

you think a micro gram change proves a spinning ball? this has been debunked so many times man - atmosplane pressure, humidity, temperature, all can change your variables...sorry back to the drawing board. Remember - every experiment to PROVE the earth is spinning has failed. EVERY! A for effort though. Thanks for the time you took to comment. Next?

Notice that he makes an assertion, "atmosplane pressure, humidity, temperature, all can change your variables," but then refuses to provide evidence that his statement is scientifically correct.

After several more exchanges in the video comment thread, he concluded by saying...

you want me to provide evidence that air pressure humidity temperature changes variables? you can google that for yourself... i'm not going to hold your hand. you are trying to change the whole conversation. Since you are so confidence the earth is spinning, i ask you simply do an experiment that demonstrates this and document it and publish it (like I have) so we can all see it. If you are just here in a war of words and a battle of wits, you are simply thwarting the scientific process. please take the time to plan, conduct, video, explain, publish your experiment like we all are doing in the community. thank you.

So again zero evidence to back up what he himself said was presented. And now to change the subject, he attempts to shift the burden of his proof to us.

Readers, what say you? See the conversation transcript below.

Thanks are due to Paul Gabriel for submitting this information to us.

Again refuses to provide evidence to back his claim.
