I have a question for those who believe in a flat earth.  As we all know, the stars do not appear to be stationary, but move throughout the night.  The globalists state that the stars are not, in fact, moving, but instead, the earth in rotating, making the stars appear to move.  What accounts for the movement of the stars in a flat earth?  Does the dome rotate, or are the stars themselves up there, separate from the dome, and they rotate around?  Something else perhaps?

Also, in addition to the nightly movement of stars, what accounts for the long-term movement of stars?  What I mean by this, is that the relative position of starts changes, over many centuries, such that if you are looking at a particular point in the sky on the same day of the year at the same time of night, the stars will be in a different location.  For example, we all know that Polaris, or the North Star, appears as a fixed point each night, and does not rotate in the sky in the way the other stars do.  However, this was not always so.  Polaris is not a fixed star, nor has is always been the north star.  In ancient times before Christ, the star we now call Thuban was the star around which the other stars revolved.  The ancient Greeks regarded Beta Ursae Minoris as close to marking north, but Pytheas (c. 320 B.C.) said that exact north was devoid of stars.  The ancient Romans observed that the point directly north was equidistant between Beat Ursae Minoris and Alpha Ursae Minoris (the star we now call Polaris).  The globalists say this shift in the stars is due to the "wobble" of the earth, that is, the circular motion of the earth, over long periods of time, on its axis, much like a spinning top.  How is this long-term shift explained in a flat earth?

Thank you in advance for information on this.

Hey Peter,

The stars move over the flat earth like an upside down bowl on a table. The ancient bablyonians and eyptians even believed in the solidity of the firmament. As well as the Church Fathers of course.

Here is a video explaining the movement of the stars.

I found your post very interesting as I did not know about the change in the positions of the stars.

To be honest I have never heard any explanation for this, so your guess is as good as any. We have not sent spaceships up there anyway, so NASA is not going to tell us.

The Good Lord could simply be tilting the heavens for some reason. So much is told in the stars, such as the prediction and manifestation of Our Lords birth. So there could be very profound reasons for His doing this.

I highly recommend you all better have a meeting of the minds so you can get your you-know-what together before you all continue your apostolate... just saying...

Please stop clogging up the thread. Find something better to do with your time.

You're right again... darn it!  You are a waste of one's time... I'll go clean the men's room now...

You mean the girls room?

Oooooooooooooooo!!! couldn't resist that cheap joke....

You are rather elementary, aren't you? Well, if you insist, I'll have to ask you to exit it first...

Peter,

Here is the video I forgot to include on the stars

As well as THE Church FatherS of course.

You know the saying Neil... fool me once... need I say more?

Over the centuries, you silly person.

Not every flat earther has to be an expert in astronomy to know the earth is flat. Everyone accepted it until the 16th century.
