Neil,
We would have an incentive to participate if you could tell us where this is going. MW participated in your experiment, but when she asked where this was all going, you just ignored her.
Not very honest really of you.

.
"MW" never replied with her measurement. Did she tell you what it was? If not, then how exactly did she "participate?" 
.
I said we could go to the next step once you supply your observed angle. But if you don't supply it then you can go watch the video I posted -- probably for the first time! You see, when you behave in a suspicious way you ruin it for everyone who identifies with you. I have tried to carry on conversations with flat-earthers before and they accuse me of not watching the videos they post, but that's false because I DID watch their videos. I just came to different conclusions they did because with my practical experience in surveying, engineering, navigation, mathematics, compass map corrections, etc., I could see where the false premises crept into the videos and consequently I could identify where their erroneous conclusions came from. But the flat-earthers won't listen to experience. They presume that since their silly falsified videos convinced THEM, that they should also convince everyone else.
.
BUT THEN, when I post videos, the flat-earthers claim to have seen them. Okay, so if you have seen my videos I posted, you would know how to use a sextant, for example. Oh, sorry, you don't know how to use a sextant, do you, so then you have not watched my videos. Or, for example (getting back to the topic here) you would know exactly where this measuring of the sun and moon's angle is headed because one of my videos explained the whole thing. But now, why would no flat-earther be able to say he understands what I am doing, even while they all claim to have watched the videos I post?! 
.
Oh, there is one other type, like happenby, who is not ashamed to admit that she wants no part of watching my videos because they're all nonsense. She knows everything, you see.
.
It's a simple matter of following the steps, but flat-earthers are well-known for not following direction. They see where they are headed and then they want to change the ground rules, so they can make a left turn before they get to the inevitable end of the block. That is the same pattern of behavior that atheists and agnostics use in regards to religion, by the way.
.
If you refuse to measure the moon-sun angle and you can't bother to watch the video that explains it, then try this alternative method:
.
Here is another method of doing almost the same thing, using measurements from the Old Farmer's Almanac. But I won't at all be surprised if some flat-earther chimes in accusing the Almanac of being witchcraft or made up by Freemasons. They've already accused Pythagoras of devil worship because of his discovery of the proportions of a right triangle (sum of squares of two legs equals square of hypotenuse). Apparently any scientific discovery that detracts from the "flat" earth agenda must be equivalent to devil worship, okay?
. 
Anyway, here it is -- an alternative to measuring the angle of the sun and moon

If you observe the sunrise and sunset times for the past 4 days, you find that (in Daylight Saving time zones) the mid-point, or "high noon" time is 12:51 pm. (I expect that means if you are in a Standard Time zone, it would be 11:51 am, but that's kind of beside the point.) This means that there are the same number of minutes from sunrise to this mid-point time as there are from the mid-point time to sunset. You have to calculate this mid-point time, because it is not provided in the charts.
.
Therefore, I have a question for anyone who has bothered to read this far:
.
When, by the positions of the sun and moon, or at what TIME would we expect to find the last quarter moon setting in the west on the day that it turns into a quarter moon? This time, the zero hour was 3:00 am and that is 9:51 hrs. before the sun's mid-point time (12:51). 
.
If you are basing your reasoning on a "flat" earth model, you're going to be obliged to explain how you get your times, because I have yet to see anyone describe the exact time that the moon is supposed to set or the sun is supposed to rise using a "flat" earth model. 
.
Even so, we can look in the sky, see the moon and the sun, check our watch, and measure the angle between the two bodies and observe the rotational position of the waning quarter moon at different points as it traverses the sky. By comparing what we see in consecutive days, we find that the scene changes very gradually, but it also changes INEXORABLY, such that there is absolutely NOTHING that any man on earth can do to change the timing of these heavenly bodies.
.
This fact is going to come to a climax of sorts in August when a Total Solar Eclipse traverses the contiguous US from Newport/Salem, Oregon to Columbia/Charleston, South Carolina, narrowly glancing by St. Louis, Missouri and Nashville, Tennessee on the way, and there is absolutely NOTHING anyone can do about it.
.
And, again, as we might expect, there is no flat-earther on this (flat?) earth who can describe a comprehensible method of predicting this or any other total solar eclipse, NOR can they explain what an eclipse of the sun IS, NOR can they pronounce its efficient cause, NOR can they convincingly describe the reason for its existence.
.

A lot of :cussing: without the usual input from flat earthers.  

The globe above is CGI.  All NASA photos are admittedly, by NASA, composites images.  They can't take a picture of the earth with a camera and must use ribbons of imagery and other manipulations according to them.  You can see the funny shading, the hotspot from lighting in the center as well as the weird sheen. In no way is it a photo of earth.    

I have not posted on Cathinfo in quite some time. There always seems to be something better to do. I must confess I do read many of the posts from time to time in the morning. I am a 58 year old man with 9 kids and 20 grandkids; I'm not a physicist or an astronomer. I am a simple businessman who is a cradle Catholic and a sedevacantist for the past 30 years. There is no desire on my part to get in on the technical argument that has evolved here, it reminds me of feenyite arguments way too much, but I admit that it fascinates me to read this elongated discussion. 
Please excuse my drivel; my question is a simple one, I think. I have a childhood chum who flew in the Navy for 12 years and whose father was also a Navy pilot and lifelong pilot for Delta. In the late 80's before the death of his father, they completed a dream they both had. They flew from New Orleans , going east, to London. From there they flew to Germany where they both had friends. Then they flew directly, I do not know the exact route, to Japan and on the Hawaii where again, they both had military friends. They spent a week there then flew to California and back home to New Orleans. A veritable trip around the world. My question is this (remember from a non scientist) if the earth is indeed flat,, how did they fly only east and get back to the exact place from where they departed. Again, I apologize for the seemingly simpleness of this question, I am only curious. I am sure the answer to this is equally as simple. Thanks in advance for the response.

With scripture describing a celestial firmament which is fastened to the earth like a block, where is that dome on the "globe"? How does a dome fit over a globe? Where is the water above the dome?  How can the sun be 93,000,000 miles away and still be housed under the dome?  Globers have so much to answer before drilling out a bunch of mumbo jumbo while they hide behind in relativity, imprecision and hooey, talking about how curve is level and level is curve and water is sticky.  

.
Following are my answers to your questions  (Lest you come back whining that I ignored you)
.
Where is that dome on the globe? 
That dome is not a sheet of glass or stone but a transition zone between lower atmosphere and upper atmosphere. Its location is wherever God wants it to be at a given time. It is not something that man can reach out and touch.
.
How does a dome fit over a globe?
The dome completely encircles the globe. Remember, the Bible doesn't say anything about where to find the beginning or end of the dome.
.
Where is the water above the dome?
The water is retained as water vapor in the higher atmosphere, wherever God would have it located. In recent years, man has attempted to tamper with weather patterns because man likes to play God. But God is still in control.
.
How can the sun be 93,000,000 miles away and still be housed under the dome? 
Who said the sun must be housed under the dome? Are you just making that up with your "perspective" again?
.
Now how about you exchange the favor and answer my questions, which you have ignored.

Sir,
There is a presumption on your part that going from point to point in certain directions can only work on a ball.
Why is that? Simply look at a flat earth map, and you will see that the route you describe can be done on a flat earth. They admit to not flying over the north pole because they say it is "too cold".

Flights go from point to point.

Just like in a car, pilots are constantly "redirecting" their plane. Meaning they are steering it.

If you're interested in flights, there is a good post on the flat earth forum on this topic. It doesn't "prove" the flat earth, but ought to get you thinking.

Neil; I just spoke to my friend and he told me that you do not have to constantly change directions to remain directly over the equator. He also said that he has, in fact flown over the North Pole, for whatever that is worth. On a humorous note he added that he suspected the moon was actually made of cheese. I apologize if that sounds condescending. I realize that flat earthers do have their opinions and defenses of their position. I find all of this quite interesting, probably due to my skepticism on moon landings. But that is another story. Thanks Neil...
