are you aware of how idiotic what you just said is?
It's not an argument for the flat earth at all. I have never heard a flat earther use this. It is a remark made after the fact of having studied the theological and scientific arguments. It's a remark made based on the KNOWLEDGE that God IS much closer to us (in the literal physical sense) and how that consoles us.
You're just using this as a distraction because you haven't studied the science.
#1: Maybe you are right about it sounding stupid, but cut me some slack. It was midnight and i was very tired. What are YOU doing up at 4 in the morning?
#2: I don't know how long you've been around this forum, but the way some have made this same statment in the past was like offering it as an argument, or at least a good reason. Though that may not be the case with this particular post, my past experiences cause an instinctive reaction to it. I apologize if it was too rash.
#3: I'm not trying to distract, I just saw that post and reacted to it in particular. Sure, you can accuse me of being uneducated in these sciences, but you are also talking to one who is uneducated in general. And as one who has had no real previous thoughts on the matyer before it's presentation on this forum, I have to say that I am more convinced by the works put forth by such as Neil Obstat, St. Ignatious, and maybe a couple of comments of a poster who is no longer with us. From the outside looking in, the Flat Earthers have a number of folks who discredit their position like S.B. Meg, and TiE, and even happenby; not just because they have been slinging mud like mad babies in a sand box (folks like Neil included), but because when faced with various questions they just fall silent and can give no explaination, or throw a tantrum and derail the thread so as to avoid the issue. Even worse is when you offer tgem something to consider and they don't even jave the decency to look at it. I've personally experienced this back in a thread about maps and theid inefficiency.
From the outside looking in, Flat Earth is being destroyed on the logical argument scale. The opinion I'm inclined to currently is that the Earth is round, but not perfectly; does not move; the stars, moon, and sun circle around it.
I welcome you to keep trying. Maybe one day I'll be a Flat Earther, but it doesn't seem like that will be any time soon...
