The distance from the earth to the sun has been a matter of controversy for thousands of years, but only in our present age have there been skeptics (like Nietzscheans) who prescind from all man's inventory of improved methods over the centuries and proclaim it is untrue, without any evidence for same, and without any specific replacement for the data and the knowledge man has acquired during these many centuries, and without any suggestions for how to obtain or verify such replacements. They say, "We are still studying the issue" but they've already come up with their conclusion, therefore, if they were honest, they would say, "We have already decided what the outcome of our study will be and we have already decided what is important, and the specific distance from the earth to the sun is unimportant compared to our refusal to accept the product of recent centuries of others' study, for our own pertinacious will to reject same out of hand is much more important to us." These "flat-earthers" do not agree on how far they think the sun really is from earth, nor do they agree on what constitutes "earth" in the first place. It is incorrect to say they can't agree on a method for measuring the distance to the sun because they are manifestly unconcerned with developing their own method and no such concern appears to be soon in coming. They simply don't care about that. They cannot describe the depth of the earth's substance at any point of the earth's surface, nor can they provide a specific quantity for the distance from the sun to the moon at any time of day, for any day whatsoever. How these curiously unscientific loose cannons can believe they are worth anyone's attention is an open question.
