Is the sun 93 million miles away? Nope. It's 149,597,870.7 kilometers away.

Here you go:
.
As of 2012, 1 AU = 149,597,870,700 meters exactly, regardless of whether we find the Earth’s semi-major axis is slightly different in the future.
.
So the question has been settled.
.
I know, 2012 is kind of recent, and it's hard for flat-earthers to keep up with the news. Sorry.

All I see there is the same bare naked speculative assertion. What is the root of this notion that you claim to hold?

Translated, this means 92,955,807 miles away, which is less than 93 million miles away.

Hahahahahahahahahaha....
You took the bait! Notice I didn't provide a source? Thought it would be fun to just go over to one of your beloved sites, flatearth society, and do some cut and pasting... heehee

P.S. I noticed over there in the comment sections, there's some rather bright posters who give you flat-headers a run for your money. Wish I had more time, it's rather entertaining.

I think it shows how little you have studied the flat earth, that you have no idea clearly that the flat earth society are Masonic controlled opposition. They are there to make the flat earth look stupid.

We have nothing to do with those fools.

Do you not realise that in the more widely accepted model the sun goes over and around the flat earth rather than under, and that a shadow in that case, of the earth would make no sense?

But perhaps, like Neil Obstat you prefer to ignore posts that challenge you, especially if it comes from a man, and opt to pick on the women instead....

Man? Were? Effeminate male... yea, there are few of those who believe with their flat-heads that the earth is flat.

Do you believe all Infallibly Defined Dogmas’ of the Catholic Church without innovation(s)?

The majority of people on Cathinfo.com who refuse to believe that the earth is flat also do not believe all Infallibly Defined Dogmas’ of the Catholic Church without innovation(s).

Why don't you just keep posting the same (misspelled) question and (misspelled) platitudes again and again?
.
Oh, right. You ARE posting the same thing over and over.

Neil, as you are a traditional Catholic, why would you not want to answer the question about whether or not you believe in all of the infallibly defined dogmas of the Catholic Church? I, for one, believe in all of them. Why wouldn't you?

Aren't traditional Catholics supposed to believe in and accept all of the infallibly defined dogmas of the Church (without innovation)? That's what I assume, anyway.

What's odd is that the globe-earthers don't want to address this.

Questions persistently posted with deliberate misspellings prove from the start that the questioner is not interested in productive intelligent discussion but only puts out the same pablum because predetermined responses and narrow-minded rejoinders are already planned. Besides, someone like you who has been around here for 4 years ought to have seen previous responses to this sort of query when asked by someone who is capable of actually carrying on a conversation, instead of by someone who predictably regurgitates the same canned posts over and over.
.
How do you see flat-earthism as relevant to defined dogma of the Church, and vice versa?

I find it telling that flat-earthers have made no response to your challenge.
.
You invited them to do a thought experiment, but they cannot, because they can't think.

Imagine Niagara Falls. Now multiply it, again and again and again.

NASA
Every day the sun beats down on the Earth, its energy literally making life possible. How much energy? A flow of 120,000 terawatts, which is, as science writer Oliver Morton puts it, "10,000 times the amount that flows through our industrial civilisation - all the world's reactors, turbines, cars, furnaces, boilers, generators and so on put together." Still can't quite picture what that amounts to? Morton has written a stunning little thought experiment to help. Here's how it goes:
So awesome. It's little wonder that Wikipedia's list of solar deities runs so long.

So if the sun is only a few thousand miles away, how could something so apparently small produce so much energy?

.
The challenge is simple and the silence in response is self-explanatory.
.
Flat-earthers have no response, except to jump topic to an unrelated non-sequitur.

Before you continue whining like a spoiled brat, you need to be reminded that its YOU that has to answer questions, not demand answers. The burden of proof weighs completely on your shoulders, not mine. You are the one challenging that which is accepted to be true by the unanimous consensus.

God has revealed to us that the earth is flat; you need to convert.
