Doesnt answer my question.

Of course it would not, not when we are taking about God's world and creation. That is the last place (Bible) to look for answers. Science should be the first place (especially for chistians) to look. And when addressing any question about the world and humanity of course we need a man created answer.

Christianity is more worldly that the world and with that come believing all the lies the world believes and in turn Christians experience the same problems as the world.
Revelation states this about the Church, You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.

That perfectly describes the current church

Let's make it a bit more personal so you might be able to understand my point. When you tell anyone the earth is a ball, you are lying.

Why are you lying? Simple. You just don't know any better yet. It's all you know, and all you've been taught, so you think it's real. Most of these people aren't any different. It's what they know and what they've been taught. Just like you, they have no idea they are believing a lie.

This is called deflection. The question is about @Lost4words; it's about science, astronomers, NASA, etc.

It's a deflection because your response allows you talk "graciously" about Lost4words' ignorance. The question is about why those without excuse would lie.

Try again.

Your rejection of my answer doesn't make it any less viable.

Does anybody have a theory of a flat moon? We only ever see one side of it, so it could be a disc, or perhaps a cylinder, always presenting the same aspect as it swings back and forth across Earth. I think the mathematics would be difficult without throwing out Newtonian physics.

Nobody has been fed any lies about a spherical earth. Everyone and their pet hampster knows that the earth is a sphere. Science has not lied, neither has anyone else. Lies is the only answer that a flat earth believer can give.

I like science too. I just know some of what we are told to believe in the name of science simply isn't so.

Like what? What isn't so and can you provide some proof please? Ta

I can't help thinking of the elephants standing on the giant turtle's back. I enjoyed some of the Disc World books, but I really don't believe in magic. A flat Earth requires the rewriting of physics. I'm looking forward to that.

You want photographic evidence. Ok the ISS is stated to be going around the earth at 250 miles above the earth.

If that is the case why is the photo of the ISS and the Red Bull jump, showing the same height above the earth. The Red Bull jump was at 20 miles high.

The Red Bull jump photos are unreliable and inconsistent ...

There is work available out there by people with PhD's in Physics and degrees in engineering who demonstrate issues in the global math and put forward their own mathematical proofs for flat earth.

Where can I access this work ???

Let's make it a bit more personal so you might be able to understand my point. When you tell anyone the earth is a ball, you are lying.

And so goes a major flat earth strategy ... if you don't have the FACTS to convince them, ... imply that they are a part of the deception ...

That's not how real science works, you know.

Flat Earthers make all this noise about being open-minded, yet resort to ad hominem and innuendo when their conclusions are questioned.

Do you think that this is truly a valid approach to truth ?
