FLAT EARTH.

[Jadis40]

Isn't it just too convenient that the figure of 93,000,000 million miles coincides with the only alternative to see the sun at the size we see it at? What were the probabilities of that. Using math, we can determine the relative distance of the sun from Earth. It is in the thousands of miles, maximum.

Lies, all lies. There is no such thing as a light year, as it has no real application to the Biblical Earth. This is made-up deception, people.

The sun is not a star. Read God's Word. Stars are stars, and so-called "planets" are the largest, brightest stars. They are the wandering stars, considering they move in different pathways instead of a fixed rotation like the smaller stars. Look up at the sky at night and you can actually see them move if you have the patience to stay there for a couple hours. That said, you can see them move across the sky at times. The solid-like pictures you see are straight up trickery from a computer. Do you ever wonder why we now get these so-called photos, when all we got were artist recreations prior to the last couple decades? It's because the technology or software wasn't advanced enough to make such images. In fact, some of the earlier "pictures" of the Earth were nothing but paintings.

Andromeda is out of an artist's imagination.

Galaxies don't exist. The Jesuits and Masons have been involved in astronomy, or fooling the masses, whether intended or not, for many centuries.

You need to do your research.

I have done my research. Enough to know that are your claims are complete and utter nonsense.

1. The sun *is* a star by the dictionary definition of the word:

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/star

star
(stär)
n.
1.
a. A celestial body that generates light and other radiant energy and consists of a mass of gas held together by its own gravity in which the energy generated by nuclear reactions in the interior is balanced by the outflow of energy to the surface, and the inward-directed gravitational forces are balanced by the outward-directed gas and radiation pressures.
b. Any of the celestial bodies visible at night from Earth as relatively stationary, usually twinkling points of light.
c. Something regarded as resembling such a celestial body.

Is the sun a celestial body? Yes.
Does it generate its own light and radiant energy, consisting of a mass of gas held together by its own gravity? Yes.
Is it powered by nuclear reactions in its interior, and held in balance by outward and inward flow of energy which are balanced? Yes.

Sounds like a star to me, regardless of your claims to the contrary.

Again, we go back to elementary school and high school level science. No one denies that the planets move across the sky during the night, but they do so on the ecliptic, which is the same path as the moon. That's why they always appear to move along the same path.

One more time: The planets are *not* stars. They don't even fit the definition of one, which I posted above. Mercury is not a star. Jupiter is not a star. Pluto is not a star. If you want to claim differently, I can't stop you, but I will call you out on that claim as being false.

And I know Andromeda is real, contrary to your opinion. I've seen it myself. All the other galaxies are real too.

The universe is a lot bigger than you seem to think it is. So, who do I choose to believe? The men and women who have dedicated their lives to furthering man's knowledge. I can't help it if you don't like the answers they've found, which includes the fact that the earth is a sphere and there is no dome covering the earth.

I also can't help it if you can't accept the answer that the sun is a star and is 92.96 million miles away, and that the spherical earth completes one revolution around the sun every 365 days, give or take a day, accounting for leap years.

One other thing. I took the classes in college. I studied the science. I even once taught this science. I am well aware of what the science says. I graduated summa cum laude in my college's department, top of my class with a near perfect grade point average. I'm a very intelligent man. I trusted the science of man long before I came to a realization that flat Earth is true. I simply cannot believe much of it. It doesn't match what we see.

It isn't ignorance that makes a person fall prey to a conspiracy theory.

I acknowledge that Atlanta and LA are three time zones apart. I fly out to the LA area every year to visit my wife's family.

So by 3 pm the sun is more than 3,000 miles away from you, yes?

 

[GeorgiaGuyinAtlanta]

I have done my research. Enough to know that are your claims are complete and utter nonsense and nothing more than pseudoscience.

1. The sun *is* a star by the dictionary definition of the word:

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/star

Definitions given by scientists, not God. They either assume or lie about what they say a sun is.

Is the sun a celestial body? Yes.

This is true.

Does it generate its own light and radiant energy, consisting of a mass of gas held together by its own gravity? Yes.
Is it powered by nuclear reactions in its interior, and held in balance by outward and inward flow of energy which are balanced? Yes.

Listen, I used to teach this stuff. I know it. However, these ideas are fallacious, in my opinion. Who in their right mind can say for a fact that the sun is made up of such and such gases? Who in their right mind knows any of this? Has anyone actually gone to the sun and done an experiment? Not possible given the heat.

Sounds like a star to me, regardless of your claims to the contrary.

Anybody can make up "science" and claim its fact, when you can't actually test it. God's word doesn't claim our sun is a star. It lists them as though they are other celestial objects.

Again, we go back to elementary school and high school level science. No one denies that the planets move across the sky during the night, but they do so on the ecliptic, which is the same path as the moon. That's why they always appear to move along the same path.

They do move across the night sky. I'm glad that you acknowledge that. They do generally have a certain path. That is true, too. However, doesn't our own sun have a path too, as indicated in the Bible by use of the word "circuit"? Of course it does, so what's the difference? The wandering stars, hijacked to become "planets", are not terra firma. Video proves that they're lights in the sky.

One more time: The planets are *not* stars. They don't even fit the definition of one, which I posted above. Mercury is not a star. Jupiter is not a star. Pluto is not a star. If you want to claim differently, I can't stop you, but I will call you out on that claim as being false.

All of the planets are wandering stars.

And I know Andromeda is real, contrary to your opinion. I've seen it myself. All the other galaxies are real too.

All you saw was a higher concentration of stars in one area on the firmament.

The universe is a lot bigger than you seem to think it is. So, who do I choose to believe? The men and women who have dedicated their lives to furthering man's knowledge. I can't help it if you don't like the answers they've found, which includes the fact that the earth is a sphere and there is no dome covering the earth.

I also can't help it if you can't accept the answer that the sun is a star and is 92.96 million miles away.

I really don't care what mankind thinks. I only care what God thinks and what He wrote in the Bible.

 

[AdamSK]

If the sun is more than 3,000 miles away by 3 pm and is only 150 miles up, then it should already be within 3 degrees of the horizon.

Also, it should appear to be only 5% of the size that it appeared at noon.

Could you please confirm that neither of these things are true at 3 pm when you look up at the sun? That it is much closer to 40 degrees above the horizon and looks to be exactly the same size as it was at noon?

 

[AdamSK]

Think of a circular plate. The sun moves in a circuit around the plate, illuminating the part of the plate to which it is closest.

Your own observations don't match this model. Do the math and you will see.

 

[Jadis40]

Your own observations don't match this model. Do the math and you will see.

It definitely doesn't fit the model of a flat earth with the sun being 4000 miles away (or less). Instead, it completely demolishes it.

Its written in the last days God will pour out His spirit on ALL flesh. And we know God rains on the just and unjust. There are people in this world from past to now that GOD has given them great wisdom and they are NOT believers. So to think every scientist on this planet that know this world is round and all agreeing as ONE to with hold the real truth. To then think there has NEVER been a man on this planet that has not tried to go around this world.. just wow.

And people really believe EVERY video is fake. That no one has been up there. Man I still remember my friend on his roof showing me Saturn. Saw it and the moons.. wow...so cool. Were on a Christian site.. where I am PRAYING you KNOW GOD is real right? Please.. please tell me I am NOT the only one that can just ask Him?

Lol I just the other day watching a video where someone posted.. dont be deceived. The world does not spin. Everything else is spinning. Jesus told us not to be deceived..... So I lovingly reminded him deceived was about JESUS not about if the planet is spinning or not. And to me.. I know about this..but.. it wont get me in to heaven to see and be with my Father. So PRAISE GOD!

ROTFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my gosh! You are pulling our legs for fun.

We were driving today and saw a website written on the back window called www.yhwhsflatearth.com

I punched it into my phone and saw that it's a website stating that the "flat earth is biblical". My husband and I were looking at it and trying to figure out if it was a joke or not! Then I saw on Facebook a group supporting "Flat Earth" with about 17k likes...and then saw this thread. I think people actually believe it...

The ionosphere is thought to really be the dome or "firmament" which reflects back radio waves.

This thread is mostly for fun
but
realize more people believed the earth is flat,
than not,
up until relatively recently...

and, even stranger : today - people believe other things that are even more bizarre and unable to be true.
(not just a few people - no. the Bible says the whole world TODAY is deceived).
so
"flat earth" is really relaxing comparatively , and for fun .........

No because the sun is not the same size at noon than it is when it moves away. It appears smaller.

200 Proofs the Earth is not a spinning ball.

[yeshuaslavejeff]

Lol I just the other day watching a video where someone posted.. dont be deceived. The world does not spin. Everything else is spinning.

This is totally separate than a flat earth.
The bible says the earth is flat, which most people historically believed , until recently.
and
The bible says the earth was created, and nothing after that , nor within that, says anywhere that the earth moves.(does it?).

Note for reference, it may depend on your POV point of view. Einstein and dozens of other top rated scientists all agree there is no proof anywhere that the earth moves -
only that it "appears to move" relative to everything else - BUT that it is possible that the earth is stationary, as the Bible says, and that everything else moves to make it "APPEAR" that the earth moves ---
mathematically, geocentric or other-centric (earth stationary; or earth moving)
EITHER ONE is possible - it simply depends on POV. See ?

Anyway, flat earth and geocentric solar system are two separate things - one not proven to too many people's satisfaction, and one proven possible BY the mathematical geniuses/ scientists who have analyzed it all.

Who in their right mind can say for a fact that the sun is made up of such and such gases?

This website will help you understand the process. It's a bit long, but I'm sure you want to know the answer. Here is just one small paragraph of it:

A star is a nuclear fusion furnace that creates elements. The Sun will burn out its Hydrogen in 4-5 billion years. By using the method of spectroscopy we can know how much of each element is in a star because the chemical elements present in the atmosphere of the star create absorption lines.​

Yeah, it's pretty sad. Literalism run amok. Definitely something rotten in the state of Denmark.

 

[AdamSK]

No because the sun is not the same size at noon than it is when it moves away. It appears smaller.

What size is the sun at noon and at 3 pm? How close to the horizon is the sun at 3 pm? Do these fit the model that the sun is 20 times as far away?

Again, please do the math.

 

[AdamSK]

Just for fun, I did some math. Here are the positions of the sun at various points in time in Atlanta, today (to the nearest one arc degree). Feel free to go outside an check these yourself.

And next to each one, is the horizontal distance away that the sun would have to be in order to appear where it does in the sky according to the flat earth model you propose, if the sun is 150 miles, 200 miles, 1000 miles, or 4000 miles above the Earth, respectively. Please choose one, and then explain how the listed distances fit your model - or what assumption I have made that is incorrect.

And, after all that, table tags are apparently disabled on this forum. Bummer.

I will reformat once you confirm that you actually want to see the data and will try to use it. Thanks.
