I thought you're some kind of expert on the question of creation but it seems I was fooled. This is the most basic of issues and you'd know the answer if you either thought about it for a second or did some honest research.
Here's your hint: there's a hidden assumption that is begging the question. What is the assumption he makes that the Flat Earth reality contradicts?
First of all Marulus I posted this website as part of this debate. I made no comment, merely wrote down the question. Interestingly, once again the response begins with a personal insult inferring ignorance of some sort on the person who even asked the question. There is no other debate on CIF conducted in such a way that needs to insult the poster before answering the question or not.
Ladislaus answered if the sun was nearer and smaller then it would have the same effect. His illustration is excellent, but it confirms for me that relativity exists in both the FEvGE as well as GvH. In more words, it depends on the word IF which is no confirmation at all. Unless one can get out there far enough in space to confirm these things, it remains a kind of draw at the relativity level.
For me, geocentrism has been revealed by God and the Church, so in that case I can confirm G is correct. The shape of the Earth has not been confirmed by God or the Church so that is left up to one's own choice. Mine is a globe because every other sun, moon and planet is created as a globe. Eclipses are more simply explained by a global Earth. The science of geodesy, used throughout the world to measure the level of the land to prevent flooding etc, confirms the shape of the Earth is a globe. There is not a single argument against a global Earth other than it would be more 'miraculous' if it were flat. Unlike geocentrism however there is no scientific evidence pointing to a flat Earth rather than a globe.
FEs on CIF I see prefer a flat-earth because it definitely would confirm the Earth is special, and like geocentrism would further confirm the existence of God as Creator and man as His special creation. St Augustine however, warned against using proposals about the creation that tends to undermine the faith. Go ask the population of the world what shape the Earth is? I have no doubt 99% will say a globe. Associate belief in a flat Earth with the Catholic faith will do the faith no good.
So Marulus, by all means argue your belief in a flat Earth but stop trying to convince others of it by way of insulting those who prefer the more reasonable global Earth. Stop trying to convince others it is more Catholic to believe in a flat Earth than a global Earth. Go ask 100 Catholics what the Child of Prague is holding and 99% of them will probably say the Earth rather than the universe. The Earth is God's footstool, not the universe, so it is the special one.
