Reminds me of the Conciliar heretics casting Traditional Catholics as "Lefebvrites" -- as if we are in a cult, heretics, following a mere man. It's not about the Faith, the truth, or Tradition handed down by the Apostles -- it's all about "Lefebvre". A diabolical inversion of the truth, which is to be expected I suppose.
It's the oldest trick in the book. A dirty trick, but unfortunately a very effective one, at least with the normies and sheeple.
There was the original Flat Earth Society from the mid 1950s ... that most FEs believe was taken over by disinfo agents after the death of its original founder, but Marion insists this was all invented by DuBay in 2015 because Sungenis embarrassed a Jєω in his movie. Pay no attention to the fact that he has zero evidence for this and just pulls it out of his rear end.
At the end of the day, there's much theory there with FE due to the gaps of our scientific knowledge. We don't have the billions per year at our disposal that NASA does in order to conduct experiments. Some of the theory might be right; some of it might be wrong.
But I simply cannot buy that this magical refraction is responsible for all the "see too far" phenomena. I laid out both sides of the issue, and the odds are so small that this refraction can consistently and repeatably make light bend perfectly around the curve, are almost zero. And the odds that as we're hurtling through space at millions of miles per hour, not just the planet, but the entire solar system, and then the galaxy, and that the angle of our north pole towarad Polaris hasn't budged, and that the moon rotates at the same rate as it revolves around the earth ... to the second, those odds are so preposterously small that it would be like my claiming that complex organisms just evolved randomly out of nothing.
I would be more inclined to believe some evidence that "gravity" causes light to bend around the curve. At least that would result in a repeatable and consistent result. But nobody argues that because they realize that gravity does not have that effect on light.
