    Flat-earthers can't deal with the discussion so they resort to bad-mouthing and mundane platitudes.
    .
    There is no question they're upset because they know they've lost the substantive argument.
    .
    The crybably flat-earthers complain without restraint.
    .
    They cannot answer how someone standing in Australia can see a full moon in the diagram.
    .

    .
    They can't answer the question, so they just keep posting silly nonsense videos they grab from the pile at flat-tards forum, using "Australia" for a search term.
    .
    Someone standing in Australia in the diagram, looking up, sees not a full moon but the bottom side of a moon that is dark on the bottom since the sun shines from the side across the map.
    .
    The diagram shows the moon on one side of the earth and the sun on the other side, which produces a full moon phase.
    .
    We never see the moon that way, with a darkened bottom side. The moon is never dark on the bottom, close to earth.
    .
    The moon is dark on one side (left or right) but never on the top or the bottom.
    .
    And whatever the phase of the moon is at a given hour, it is observed in that same phase all over the world, wherever it is visible. 
    .
    That would be impossible with a so-called flat earth model.
    .

    Flat-earthdom syndrome lost this argument a year ago and they haven't been back.
    .
    Nonetheless, they keep on making the same, monotonous, erroneous statements.
    .
    It's a corporal work of mercy to instruct the ignorant.
    .
    But there is a word for the ignorant who refuse to be instructed.

  • Are your posts a joke?

    Are you actually reading your own posts before you put them up?

    You're just throwing around big words to sound intelligent when in fact you are just talking absolute rubbish.

    But so you can't say I didn't respond...

    They are perfectly reasonable.
     Flat earthers and globalists agree on the circuмference of the earth. Approx 25000 miles.

    If the earth is a ball there must be a curvature at a fixed mathematical rate. 8 inches per mile squared. This means logically that after a certain point objects should cease to be visible once they have gone beyond a vanishing point. If you can see objects which you know to be at a certain point beyond that vanishing point, then you have completely undermined they hypothesis that this rate of curvature exists.

    IT'S THAT SIMPLE.

    The only way you will come to accept this, is to go and do the experiments yourself.

    .
    A)  Length of the Tropic of Cancer, on 11 December 2015, at 23°26′14″N is 36,788 kilometres (22,859 mi).[3]
    .
    B)  Length of the Tropic of Capricorn, on 11 June 2015, at 23°26′14″S is 36,788 kilometres (22,859 mi).[4]
    .
    C)  Please explain how flat-earthers can reconcile the identical lengths of these two lines of latitude on their "flat" earth.

    All of this has been provided in the interesting flat earth video thread.

    I believe it would be pretty interesting to see Fr. Pfeiffer face off with "pastor" Doka in a debate on this topic.

  • Of COURSE you have something to hide! Thank you very much.
    .
    You don't provide any material from Fr. Pfeiffer's conference because it destroys your pet false idol.
    .


    .
    .
    I first asked for a link to the Fr. Pfeiffer video with him defending the spherical earth model against flat-earthers, here. That was July. 15th, 2017. I finally found it 7 weeks later, on Sept. 8th, without any flat-earther ever having provided the link!
    .
    After a few weeks of flat-earthdom syndromers refusing to provide a link to the offending video I finally had to find it myself. So then I watched it; and then I knew why the flat-earthdom syndromers were so secretive and non-responsive.
    .
    The video speaks for itself.

    If FEers really believed it, it must hurt when a geocentrist doesn't buy into FE. But I don't think most FEers really believe it. Some, sure (I think happenby might), but most seem to me either doing it as a mental challenge or debate exercise, or are trolls of some form.

    After watching a number of YouTube videos and reading the comments under them, it has become obvious to me that a large portion of flat-earthers, perhaps a majority, are merely pretending to think the earth is "flat" because it's a fun game they're playing, by posting inane, cryptic or even deceptive messages online, just to see what reactions they'll get.
    .
    They seem to take it as an achievement to post a word or two, maybe a three or four word phrase, but no more than two very short sentences, after which that one post evokes 20 or 30 or more replies most of which are many times longer. They seem to interpret this as having power. It's a kind of blasting cap mentality. One small spark ignites a conflagration. It's just entertainment, at the expense of others who mistakenly take them seriously. There have been a few of them here on CI but they eventually get banned for heresy. Heretics tend to be impressed with a false sense of power or self-importance.

    Unlike you, we aren't attached to false ideologies.  One day you're a stationary glober defending Robert Sungenis, the next you're a moving glober defending NASA nonsense.  You can't even decide what to believe except you've lost the debate on flat earth and think that holding any line against those who have humiliated you is sufficient.      :fryingpan:

    One week later and nothing has changed.
    Kentucky isn't very far from Atlanta (hotbed of Baptists) or New York (Doka's digs).
    .
    Curiously, it was a year ago I had been asking for Fr. Pfeiffer's video, mentioned above, and tomorrow is 1 year to the day after I finally found it online without any flat-earther anywhere having answered the question for nearly two months. 
    .
    They must be really ashamed of the contents of the video to remain so quiet for so long.

    This thread discusses one flat map, the transverse equatorial aspect of the azimuthal equidistant projection, that does have the same lengths for the tropics.

    As given, however, that map would have problems with other things. Eclipses are not explained any better, nor that the same side of the moon is visible from everywhere on earth.

    But one could take everything that works in the standard system and transform it to a flat earth, changing the geometry for physics as well (so light bends along the new geometry). Still observationally equivalent, right?

    You can't be serious. 
    .
    You see, the problem is, flat-earthdom syndromers need to come up with ONE MAP that answers all the questions.
    .
    What part of that do you not understand?
