My comments in red:


Any situation where you have repeating, aka periodic, movements, they can be calculated mathematically.  In the case of eclipses you have two sets of periodic movements that are independent to one another, 1) that of the sun and 2) that of the moon.  When those periodic movements intersect is when you get eclipses.  It doesn't matter whether the moon is 263,00 miles away and the sun is 93.000,000 miles away or whether you don't know the distances or whether you had them "wrong", such as when it the distance of the sun has been revised at least a dozen times, or when first they claimed that the orbit of the earth around the sun was a perfect circle and then changed it to elliptical.  None of that matters, as long as there's repetition and a consistent repetition over time, they can be calculated.


Absolutely agree! 

Babylonians, who had a Flat Earth cosmology, were the first to predict eclipses using the Saros cycle, which can then be extrapolated to different places on earth to get the "path" of the eclipse as well.  That's probably why the ancients had these solar observatories everywhere, things like Stonehenge, the pyramids, all kinds of megalithic strucutres, which were all solar/lunar observatories.

Here is your problem. Even if I were to concede the point that those who predicted eclipses also believed that the Earth was flat, 1) you need to understand that they had no idea the size or shape of the land masses or oceans of the Earth. 2) Out of logical necessity they were forced to believe that the Sun revolved around them. This is NOT what modern day FEers believe. What you people believe is purely illogical. This is precisely why it is *impossible* for modern day FEers to predict eclipses and more importantly their paths. When it comes to the movements of the Sun and Moon, you people are more primitive than the Babylonians. 

This is exactly why I’ve been asking you for a FE model. The idea that the Sun and Moon rotate above a flat surface cannot be reconciled with reality and cannot be used to predict eclipses. The only chance for your system to work is if God preformed a daily miracle, but it seems to me that God wouldn’t work in this manner.

Being able to mathematically predict eclipses and their paths has absolutely nothing to do with the physical shape and dimensions of the universe, as the modern dimensions are relatively recent.  Early Greeks had it at 1 million miles away, then it became 5, then it was 20, then 50, then 100, and finally settled on 93, to which was added an elliptical dimension so that it now allegedly varies between 91.4 and 94.5.  And yet throughout all this, they continued to accurately predict eclipses.  Why?  Because of what I wrote above.  With repeating cycles of movement, i.e. periodicity, with the moon and the sun, you can do the math.  Babylonians came up with the Saros cycle, which involves some extremely complex math, and this was used to accurately predict eclipses until the most modern times.

You are preaching to the choir.

No, it's true that you're a moron.  You misinterpret and misread my statements to hurl accusations against me.  What part of "nothing but ad hominems" didn't you comprehend?  It's basic English, buddy, and you warp my statement to attack me personally, so it's fair to expose your stupidity in the interests of demonstrating how your accusations are groundless, in addition to your arguments being non-existent.

Again, who -- what soul -- is guilty of "America's" sins?

If we reset the scale so that the average American's sins are a 1, then almost all other countries would be a 2, 5, or even a 10.
(We're talking about dividing each side by infinity, because even one sin is an infinite offense, because God is infinite) That's why I say it's a 'scale".

The average American's sins are tame by comparison to the rest of the world. Certainly the level of malice has to be lower. An apostate is *always* worse than someone who was never Catholic. That rules out all of Europe right there.

So where do the very REAL evils come from? I don't deny ANY of the evils that come from the country called America. Even in the early 1900's America put its weight behind the persecutors of the Cristeros. And how many South American Catholic countries became freemasonic atheistic republics thanks to America's military might and influence?

And of course there's America's partnership with Is---l, its support and export of Abortion throughout the world, etc.

But that's a few individuals, mostly with a certain kind of nose. Not the average American on the 

Your point is irrelevant.  One does not need to know such distances, if one is calculating "heavenly movements" based on constellations. 

It's a lie of modern science that constellations/sun/moon move according to the heliocentric theory.  The fact is, ignoring both geo or helio, the constellations move in a way that allows calculations/predictions of various heavenly bodies.

Which is why ancient Egyptians (i.e. 2,000 BC) were able to build pyramids to predict the planetary alignment of Christ's birth, etc.

I thought that the pyramids were based off of the stars (and their predictions of eclipses as well).  I think I remember hearing that the North Star was particularly important in the alignment of one of their great pyramids.  (They were Sun and star worshipers after all.)

Eratosthenes was Egyptian (he lived around 200) and was one of the first to do many measurements of the earth according to a spherical shape.  It would be interesting to know more of his works.
