We see the Moon all the time during the day.  So, I don't think the Moon is reflecting light from the Sun.  Anyone looking at a full moon can see, it is glowing.  We can see manufactured "reflectors" glowing on bicycles at night, but those "reflectors" are carefully manufactured arrays of tiny little mirrors that reflect the light off at deliberate angles.  The Moon, we are told, is covered with a thick layer of grey dust, similar looking to concrete dust.  I'll bet if you have a bag in your garage and you point a flashlight at it, it won't glow  ::)

Oh, did I disturb your nice slumber? You've been gone for 4 days and suddenly you wake up in the middle of the night, to what? 
.
Another difficult-to-refute observation, this time the full moon that's right in front of your face every month.
The full moon you can't deny so you pretend it's not the moon, or that it's not the sun shining on it, or the moon makes its own light, or there isn't any full moon, it's just our imagination.
.
Don't you ever get tired of trying to ignore the evidence God has put right there before your eyes?
.
You'd have made the Skeptics of ancient Greece blush.

No, we don't. Half the time the moon is not visible during the daytime at all. What planet do you come from?

You seem to struggle with the literary use of "hyperbole."  I'd suggest you look it up or perhaps go back to grade school!    :jester:  O.k., I'll dumb this down for you Neil:  "all the time" is hyperbole for "often."  

Hyperbole | Define Hyperbole at Dictionary.com
www.dictionary.com/browse/hyperbole
obvious and intentional exaggeration. 2. an extravagant statement or figure of speech not intended to be taken literally, as “to wait an eternity.”.

When I say "all the time" I mean exactly that, all the time. As in now, later, and at all times in between.
And when I say "always" I don't mean something else.
The full moon is always full. As in "at all times."
That's why it's called a full moon, because it's full.
Fortunately for those who need a second chance, the moon is still very close to full tonight.
So you can get almost the same view you could have had a few days ago, when I wrote this:
.
.
This week is when the full moon meets Catholic liturgy, because there was a full moon when Our Lord suffered in the Garden of Olives.
.
Catholics can step outside, or go to an olive garden, and have the full impression of what Our Lord saw that fateful night.
.
Notice the full moon doesn't have any shadow underneath it, which it would have if the earth were "flat."
.
If the sun were on the other side of a "flat" disk-earth, on the lowest part of the moon would appear a dark shadow where it's out of reach for sunlight, just as part of the moon appears in shadow in the crescent, quarter and gibbous phases.
.
No, the full moon is always FULL -- not sometimes, not usually, ALWAYS.
.
This is one of the MANY ways we can make first-hand observations that prove the earth is not "flat" but is rather spheroid.

Ha Ha, you are funny!   :laugh1:
Seriously though, the Globe Earth "Model" seems kind of strange when it comes to Full Moons.
