Here you go with your "when in doubt, appeal to authority but tell everyone else not to" thing. Your "spinning globular bodies stay the same" is false, yes, given the definition of "spinning." However, I never said that the sun wouldn't rise because the earth will stop spinning now.
There are lots of other ways in which the sun could not rise tomorrow. For instance, the earth could stop turning the moment the sun is about to rise, or, indeed, the sun could cease to exist altogether.
You are binding yourself by physics, and physics, though highly useful, are based on faith that Occam's razor absolutely provides explanations that are more likely to be correct.
My argument is that the laws of physics might suddenly change tomorrow, or, indeed, that there might be some hidden hidden function that is defined to be 0 up until tomorrow but then suddenly becomes 12, which drastically effects all of the physical laws.
Occam's razor would, of course, tell us not to believe in such a hidden function, but we accept Occam's razor based purely on faith (or "inductive reasoning," but in this case, as I've shown, we must use Occam's razor to justify itself which makes it a circular argument).
