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.        
Ok, I'm not really good at math, maybe a little better than zero which means a little better than an unleavened-earther.
But I think math says that if 2 things are the same size and they look the same size to an observer, then they are at the same distance. So the sun and moon must smash into each other at least twice every three years. Right?

Faithpalm yourself twice.
1."Being the same size…"
 1. implies =/= size = no eclipse (?) otherwise…
 2. Why mention the size bit at all?

Is my thumb sun sized because I can block the sun with it?

Oh wait, the sun just shrank when I drew my thumb eyewards…

And they accuse the silly geometers of sorcery…

Wow

Well, not a bad question, but actually, sometimes the moon looks larger and sometimes the sun looks larger, so if they're both the same distance away, sometimes the sun should be in FRONT of the moon, but it never is, even when it appears larger than the moon, such as during an annular eclipse, which is more common than the total solar eclipse.

False ------------- how many false propositions have flat-earthers made? Who can count them all??
..
Straw man. Geocentrism does not incude a spinning globe, so that's false. Nor does it "jet" around the sun, so that's falsehood #3. Nor orbiting the galaxy -- falsehood #4;  and Big Bang is falsehood #5. Five false propositions in one post! Is that all you can do?
..
Oh, wait. I guess not. Now you have the globe earth barreling 4 different directions (falsehood #6) and 4 different speeds (falsehood #7).
.
Then you refer to the book of Enoch, which is not in the Bible, in other words, apocryphal. The sun and moon are not the same size, falsehood #8.
.
Only eight false statements all in one post? Come on, you can do much better than that.
.
The geocentrism model has NEVER included a globe.  NASA claims the globe JETS around the sun at 67,000 mph, obviously just ONE of their myths. Orbiting the galaxy is another NASA lie. NASA's Big Bang is another lie.  NASA's globe is a lie!  NASA's official line is earth travels 4 directions at 4 different speeds ALL AT THE SAME TIME, another lie.  I can name 100 Catholic books that are not scriptural, but that doesn't mean they aren't true. The sun and moon measure quite close in size, and certainly not the thousands of miles different in size NASA claims, nor the ridiculous distances.  As if my lil' ol' camera can picture some heavenly body 1,000,000 miles away.  SMH.  Keep em comin' Neil, its not over till the fat lady sings...and I can't hear you.
