I would find that fairly time consuming for a spinning globe effect. A 3D
program is really not neccessary.
1st layer: Create a round mask(size of globe)
2nd layer: Create a flat map of continents(whatever) and tween it from left to
right of the mask and loop.
3rd layer: create a round gradient to give 3D sphere(lighting effect


Why does and easy solution have to be the best solution. You are unable to make the globe spin around forever. The earth does not spin back and forth. Sometimes you have to put in a little effort in order to create good work.
