Father Pfeiffer slaming Flat Earth, our response
« on: July 11, 2017, 03:37:17 PM »
Hello all,

One of our members has been posting videos from our youtube channel, as you may have seen.

In an official capacity, we would like to draw your attention to our video just launched a few minutes ago on Father Pfeiffer.

We respond to his attacks on the flat earth.

I hope the Admin of Cathinfo judges this is the right category for this. If not, we have no objection to his moving it.



Here is the video

Sorry it is not embedded, but first time users seem not to be able to embed videos. Perhaps admin can make an exception?

Interesting.

He doesn't get it does he?

I'm not sure what "slaming" means

I wrote this comment on YouTube: 

Your video model of the flat earth cannot adequately explain lunar or solar eclipses. There are also issues with the sun's size and movement from sunrise to sunset, as well as seasonal changes, in the flat earth model. While I will not toss the flat earth model outright, I am not convinced of it, either. There are too many uncertainties.

A relatively easy experiment is with the use of a weather type balloon, a camera, a cheap GPS tracker and a few more bits to round up a makeshift "space" camera. One can buy kits online for this experiment.

One thing I will not accept, however, is the notion that the moon gives off its own light, which is a notion also promoted by quite a few of those who espouse the flat earth model.

Why have sailors for millennia placed a man in the bird's nest, several yards above the deck, thus enabling him to see objects at a great distance, or more recently, the rays of a lighthouse?

I discussed with a proponent of flat earth recently, and after getting him to admit that men's distance of vision should be the same regardless of their altitude, he was not able to explain why sailors utilize raised platforms in order to observe distant objects.

The obvious answer is that the curvature of the earth is sufficient to inhibit a man's visibility to a certain distance where he who stands above is able to see around more of the curvature and therefore has increased visibility.
