ROB SKIBA

Sungenis and Skiba are planning a debate on flat earth sometime around November or December.  Hopefully, Sungenis converts Rob Skiba to the Catholic Faith and Skiba converts Sungenis to flat earth.  Both appear to appreciate Scripture, yet Sungenis discards it because he says it isn't clear, even though the Fathers use Scripture to describe and enclosed earth which is bound to heaven. Sungenis continues to use heliocentric measurements from NASA and tired old nonsense from the likes of Einstein, Kepler, Newton and Copernicus, none of which have proven earth is a globe, nor are the light year distances proposed by them provable.  Simple geometry bears this out proving the angles of the sun are impossible on a 25,000 mile globe. Sungenis believes the sun, moon and stars travel at ridiculous speeds with no limit because they are in space.  He'd have to say that because the 93,000,000 mile distant sun would have to travel billions of miles every 24 hours just to get around the earth from one day to the next.  Absolutely ridiculous.    

Do you expect folks to follow your reasoning or your authority?

Roughly half a billion (93,000,000 * 2 * 3,14).

What is ridiculus about that? Too fast for your imagination?

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.  There is no evidence the sun moves at such extraordinary speeds.  

A wise man...proportions his belief to the evidence

Measurements of the distance to the sun are reported since some centuries before Christ. Men of worldly wisdom have presented their methods and results. Many of them were loyal sons of the Church of our Lord Jesus Christ. Methods and results have been discussed.
What is your contribution to the discussion? What are your reasons to reject the evidence? Why would anyone listen to baseless logic (see entries above) or boring verdicts like "extraordinary claims ... "?
