   No, we actually know, that Earth is rotating and moves around the Sun.   
      
   That's not all, but should be enough to convince you that a place at   
   rest (e.g. your home) isn't stationary at all.   
      
   But we perceive our home usually as stationary, because we have no   
   senses for inertial motion.   
      
   So: we move always, but usually do not know.
