14 feet is a pretty baseless estimation. There's no way to get a good one from that image. The camera is looking down on a small pickup, so I'd say that's at about 7-8 feet above the street, but there's no good reference to see how far the drop is from the street to the water. Could be 10 feet, could be 20. And that makes a fairly significant difference in horizon distance. So yes, your "estimate" was misleading.
Proving, once again, that flat earthers are bad at geometry. See below.


Oh this one is easy.

It absurd to claim that you don't know how much the drop is to the water. You can see it for yourself!

THINK!: even if it is only an estimation, and we are off, it does NOT make an essential difference to the point that you should not be able to see almost all of the cliff.

SEE it for yourself, and tap in a few figures into the calculator.

This claiming not to know if philosophically absurd. Philosophical agnosticism, if you will. "We can't know the truth." Grow up! The reality is before your face, you just have to be courageous enough to accept it.

I take it you are conceding the point about 25 miles being the correct distance to use then?

You cannot "see for yourself" the height, because there is no ruler marking height about sea level in the picture. You can estimate, which I did. Your estimate was on the extreme low end of what is reasonable, conveniently for you. Regardless of the fact, 14 feet at 25 miles, you STILL should expect to see a piece of the 300 foot cliff over the horizon. So even for the most conservative estimate possible, this does not, as you tried to imply, demonstrate the flatness of the earth.

Edit to add: Incidentally, the tide in that area varies by 7 meters or more, so well over 20 feet. So it's highly unlikely that the road is < 10 feet above the sea level at any given point. People don't typically build roads where they might flood.

Not to offend you, but do you suffer from some kind of mental retardation? That is truly the charitable thing for me to say, because I am not clear if you understand what you are saying. (the other option is that you are a malicious troll)

A "piece" of the cliff? Does it look like you see "a piece" of the cliff in those photos? 278 feet are hidden. Look closely at the profile and you will realise that it is pretty much about that which is hidden.

By the way, I am not by any means accepting that 25 miles is the "correct" distance to use. Being open to the earth being flat, one can accept that this is the high point. In fact I could get a cross profile from the other direction, showing the various shapes of the mountains, and comparing them with what you see in the photo. This would probably show that you see the peak which is at 40 miles. Thus cementing my argument all the more.

I was merely condescending to your slightly pedantic objection, to get you to see something that is impossible on a round earth. I hope you have the humility to accept that I am right. (I did not invent the flat earth - so it is God you would be arguing with ultimately)

I just gave you 100% proof from your beloved "scientists" that the Firmament is MATERIAL, and you can't be bothered to respond.
How about Scripture?
Quote
Psalms 150:1
 Praise ye the Lord in his holy places: praise ye him in the
firmament of his power.
.
Since when is the power of God a material thing?

As for the Bible's description of the firmament, there is nothing in Scripture that describes the physical substance of the firmament, or if it HAS any physical properties.
.

What does Scripture say about the firmament?

Genesis 1:8
And God called the
firmament, Heaven; and the evening and morning were the second day.
Genesis 1:14
And God said: Let there be lights made in the
firmament of heaven, to divide the day and the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years:
Genesis 1:15
To shine in the
firmament of heaven, and to give light upon the earth. And it was so done.
Genesis 1:17
And he set them in the
firmament of heaven to shine upon the earth.
Genesis 1:20
God also said: Let the waters bring forth the creeping creature having life, and the fowl that may fly over the earth under the
firmament of heaven.
3 Kings (1 Kings) 8:43
Then hear thou in heaven, in the
firmament of thy dwelling place, and do all those things, for which that stranger shall call upon thee: that all the people of the earth may learn to fear thy name, as do thy people Israel, and may prove that thy name is called upon on this house, which I have built.
3 Kings (1 Kings) 8:49
Then hear thou in heaven, in the
firmament of thy throne, their prayers, and their supplications, and do judgment for them:
Psalms 17:3
The Lord is my
firmament, my refuge, and my deliverer. My God is my helper, and in him will I put my trust. My protector and the horn of my salvation, and my support.
Psalms 70:3
Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a place of strength: that thou mayst make me safe. For thou art my
firmament and my refuge.
Psalms 150:1
Praise ye the Lord in his holy places: praise ye him in the
firmament of his power.
Ecclesiasticus 43:1
The
firmament on high is his beauty, the beauty of heaven with its glorious shew.
.
Praise ye the Lord in the firmament of His power, in the firmament of His dwelling place, heaven.
.
Heaven is not a material reality.
