So if I understand this correctly that's about 12miles out.

Is that right?

Do others here who favor the Ball Earth model agree that's a pretty good average?

I've heard some say it would be at about 3 miles out.

I'm really not interested in the gobbley gook.

Just a simple answer.

I'm okay with, "It would probably be "between 3 to 12 miles" according to standard calculations.

What do the Ball Earth model proponents think?

Does this sound about right?
Yes, geometrically the ship should be hidden by the drop of Earths curvature at 12 miles out, with no refraction going on, so this is pretty idealistic.

Consider this to see how these 12 miles could be different on different days:

I’ve commented multiple times on such pictures.  First of all, they’re art.  There are pictures of Jesus in early Christian art showing Him clean-shaven.  Art is not Magisterium.  Secondly, even though we live in a flat plane, the world is in fact shaped like a globe due to the firmament dome.  It’s more like a snow globe.  DL showed a picture of an empty / hollow globe on one such artistic rendering.  But it’s just art and not evidence either way.
That's nice. "...it's just art and not evidence either way." So what you are saying is that we could actually live on a globe? 

Oh, but you just finished telling me that I don't care about Catholic dogma on another thread, but now you are trying to tell me we live in a snow globe? LOL. :laugh1:

Pass the Prozac. The earth is not flat, imo. But you don't care anyway what some woman thinks because we are all just "feminists" according to you. Oh I am getting the picture now. You probably have never changed a diaper in your life or bathed a baby, have you? How many other men are like that here? Have kids but don't do a darn thing to help? Don't give two hoots about the feelings of your wife. One man didn't think I am a woman. Pure bonkers! This is the grumpy old men club if you ask me.

If it is "just art and not evidence either way," then such art pictures of Christ the King would be a type of blasphemy and condemned. But they are not, and so therefore I can believe the earth is a globe (which it is), and you can believe the earth is flat (which it isn't).

Not buying it. The earth is a globe, and I don't live in some snow globe (which I happen to collect of the Nativity!) 

Go babysit your grandchildren if you have any, and do something fun like coloring.

I noticed that you did not comment on anything about the pictures of Christ the King with a globe that I brought up. Why is that?

While I think this has already been explained, I'll address it, because it needs to be reiterated. The "globe" of the earth doesn't necessarily mean a ball-shaped earth. It means, to us flat-earthers, that the globe is a system, which includes the flat land of the earth, and also includes the firmament dome above (as is described in Genesis), and Hell below. That's the old Hebrew belief of how the earth is shaped. It's what we believe Scripture describes. So when you see a globe in certain Church paintings, we believe that it means the flat earth system globe. If that makes sense.

I know that. I gave my opinion anyway. It happens on a forum.
