How do Flat Earthers explain an Eclipse
« on: August 21, 2017, 01:05:52 PM »
Given the occasion of today's rare solar eclipse, I thought I'd ask the flat earthers how an eclipse occurs in their model of the world.

There is none - the 'flat earth' theory is pseudo-intellectual asininity at its best and demonic at its worst.

I am sure they are all scratching their heads for some fantasy.   :popcorn:

The eclipse can only occur on the flat earth. It impossible to view an eclipse on a globe spinning 1000 mph and jetting around the sun at 67,000 mph and orbiting the galaxy at 550,000 mph and jetting out from the Big Bang at 1,000,000 mph. Everything would be a blur.  Globe earth barreling 4 different directions, 4 different speeds is the official NASA mantra.  As Enoch explains, the earth is stationary with the sun and moon traversing across the plane and every so often, the two pass each other.  Being the same size, the moon and sun can eclipse each other as they pass at these times. Eclipses are fairly common, although its been 38 years since a full eclipse of the sun occurred over the US.

Stop trying to justify a flat earth, it's not real.
