The article described ancient peoples who discovered a regular interval between eclipses and used it to predict future eclipses.  This is not the same as using a flat earth model to predict eclipses.  The predictions are based on timing and are independent of their cosmological model.  It is not comparable to the way that Ptolemy's model predicted eclipses.

Eric Dubay, while claiming to be an expert in this field, falsely described Ptolemy's model as having a flat earth.  He is either an ignorant person lying about his expertise or knew he was lying about the model.  He has no credibility after this. There is no reason to watch his videos other than to debunk them.

The point is that The Chinese, believing in Flat Earth until the 17th Century were able to accurately predict eclipses.  

You implied that you couldn't have a Flat Earth Cosmology and accurately predict eclipses.  There is overwhelming proof from Chinese History that that is incorrect.  You can accurately predict eclipses with a Flat Earth Cosmology Jayne.  

And if I only listened to people who were perfect and never made any mistakes, then I wouldn't listen to anyone Jayne

But what about "two wrongs don't make a right?" Maybe then three do.

Ah, and here we have the philosophy of a globalist. 

Thanks for pointing out the error with Ptolemy though.  And, I already knew Eric Dubay was a Pagan, but then again (like Seven has pointed out) this is science, not necessarily religion.

I think it is o.k. to get help from Pagans and even Fornicators when it comes to things like putting a roof on a house or snaking a drain.  Do you Jayne?  

I have been saying all along that one ought to determine what is true and what is not in the ideas of pagans and accept what is true.  That was the position of St. Augustine which became that of the entire Church.

But several flat-earthers have claimed that it is wrong to believe in spherical earth because the idea originated among pagans or because it is currently believed by secular humanists. I have never seen you express disagreement with them.  

I was not saying that the fact that a man of such disturbing beliefs as Eric Dubay promotes flat earth proves it is not true.  I was saying that flat-earthers need to be consistent on what they say about pagans.  Either it is acceptable to sift the beliefs of pagans to find what is true or it is not acceptable.  One needs to apply the same standard to pagans who believe in globe earth as those who believe in flat earth.

Yeah, o.k., I kinda see what you mean, it's just that Copernicus, for example, was deep into the occult and it appears to have affected his thinking about cosmology.  Eric Dubay's thinking, on the other hand, seems to be promoting an Old Testament model of cosmology without apology, while at the same time, his Eastern religious training does seem to affect his views on things like:  what causes tides on a flat earth, for example.  So, to my mind, there does seem to be a difference of degrees.  Although, I get your point and I further agree that someone's religion/lifestyle/politics/culture colors the way they see The World.  We are, none of us, entirely objective;  we all have our biases and prejudices.
