In the most objectionable video, Fr. correctly explains that the sun in the image above (which is a favorite of flat-earthers) cannot illuminate one half of the earth with a pattern that transitions from day to night that is a straight line across the "flat" earth (as it does in observed reality everywhere we look). The "flat-earth" model requires the sun's projection of light to be necessarily circular in pattern as the model he displayed (like the one above) shows.

The sun's light pattern on the "flat"earth is consequently circular, as shown by the yellow region surrounding it. He then says that the duration of daylight in such a model is always a period of 6 hours, whereas in fact, the length of day varies according to season and position on the earth's surface which contradicts the "flat-earth" model.

There are numerous contradictions between observed reality and the "flat-earth" model.
