Notice Meg, the globalists have exactly one side to their argument because they are afraid of flat earth. Conversely, we were once heliocentric believers and know most of the so-called science behind that theory. Same with globe geocentric theory which is nothing less than heliocentrism with a stationary globe. In fact, the latter model is the easiest to debunk because it cannot account for day/night, or seasons among other things because the distances the stars, sun and moon have to travel would not be possible in a twenty four hour period under the most fantastic circuмstances. At least the heliocentric theory used to pretend that the rotating earth made the 24 hr day possible as it created a counter movement and gravity that balanced perfectly with outer forces.
The global geocentric has nothing to explain days and seasons or explain why oceans stick to the globe; except "gravity", which is altogether hogwash. Beyond this, the globalists do not know or understand the flat earth. They see a few quotes and attempt to debunk them one at a time, but never see the full picture because they are dead set against it since it infringes on their need to fit in with the popular crowd. As they call us stupid, they prove my point. Notice they dismiss Popes, Fathers, Scripture, reason, science, whatever, because they have a guy, or they have popular consensus. But when it comes to a logical explanation they have nothing. They parrot stuff. Only. Often they turn to random blogs, or post a bunch of gibberish they don't even understand, while the whole of their argument is utterly contradictory and without an ounce of consideration or understanding which is obvious in their argumentation. They are totally unable to look at flat earth independent of their indoctrination. The only one that even remotely seems to dig around is Cassini. But I haven't volleyed with him long enough to understand his problem with flat earth. Methinks its probably an attachment to Sungenis and company.
Just a few thoughts on the good points above. Yes, we were once heliocentric believers. So we know that view already. But the globers don't take the time to really understand FE, and what it really is.
You mention that geocentrism doesn't explain the seasons or day/night. Since geocentrism still believes in the model that the sun, moon, and stars are at a great distance (like heliocentrism believes), this cannot be true since, as you say, the distance that they would have to travel around the earth (especially the sun) would not be possible in a 24 hour period. I tried to point this out to Neil once, but he didn't agree that it would be impossible for the sun, which is supposedly 93,000,000 miles away, to travel around the earth in a 24 hour period.
I agree that the need to believe in a globe earth, for them, may be based on the need to fit in with the popular crowd. Or, the "educated" crowd, more like.
Yes, Cassini does dig around at least. I think that he's tied to the Catholic scientist Geovanni Cassini, and a little branch of science known as "geodesy." He's at least an honest guy.
