"Flat Earth" or "Globe Earth"

[d taylor]

Of course you don't. You have no interest in truth or facts when it comes to pushing your narrative.

One photo is from 0.39% more than the earth's radius, the other is from 3.9% more than the earth's radius. That's a difference of 3.5%
The earth is HUGE in comparison to the distances you are bringing up

Well sure, because facts are important

These are a few of the different lenses used for photography aboard the I.S.S. Each one has its own particular field of view. From 25 miles up you can see nearly 450 miles to the horizon, so Felix Baumgartner could see less than half the width of the USA from his vantage point. From 250 miles up you can see 1,430 miles, so from the I.S.S they can comfortably see the entire width of the USA.

I can take a photo of a lion in the zoo from a few feet away with a 35mm camera lens. I can go to South Africa and take a photo of a lion from 150 feet away with a 500mm lens. In both images the lion would appear the same size.

They can not show a real whole photo of America they can not go high enough. They can show you a cgi of America.

Like this where America cover basically one side of a globe.

Why do they have to make composites, because they can not go high enough to photo the whole of land.

They do composites because you can never get a single image of the continent without cloud cover. You did notice that none of those images have clouds, didn't you?
They also do composites to provide as close to a direct view down of the whole continent instead of the view rolling away at the edges.

Clouds millions of miles away behind the sun lol

No. Clouds in front of the sun, visibility of those clouds being overpowered by the brightness of the sun.

How come everytime we provide an answer to the challenges thrown at us, not once do flat earthers acknowledge that, ok, we may actually have a point?
It never happens, they simply ignore the response and move on to their next 'gotcha' argument.

I'm pretty sure that image is grabbed from a video of a sunrise or sunset, where if you watch the clip you will see that all the clouds are in the forefront. Flat earthers are very selective in what images they post, quietly passing over anything that doesn't fit their narrative.

Interesting you will believe that, but will not believe clear and precise accounts given in the Bible (Joshua10 and others).

Wrong again, but we've been through this already.

That's the nature of a conspiracy theory. Grab at straws, make things up, deny the myriad of evidence, rinse and repeat.

If I actually show you what you say doesn’t exist, will you acknowledge it?

After listing to globe and evolution jabber. Looks like when a person states science has a theory. Really what they are saying is that through science people are creating this long draw out lie for use in deception against Gods creation described in the Bible.

So theory = a long drawn out lie

A mind truly is a terrible thing to waste.

He is taking an atmospheric effect that happens occasionally and applying it across the board.

Cough... Can't see those scrambling to explain some impossible regular occurring observations of this earth.. that contradict the globe, ever doing that here.

How many times have we heard that refraction splains so many impossibly visible things.

Because refraction is a real thing that.... does explain a lot?

And let's not also forget that....

Mauna Kea, is the highest peak in Hawaii (the summit of the Big Island). With nothing but the ocean around it, and a few other nearby islands, you should be able to see extremely far away. The island of Kauai has the seventh highest point in the Hawaiian islands: the peak known as Kawaikini. If you were to draw a straight line from Mauna Kea (elevation: 13,796 ft.) to Kawaikini (elevation: 5226 ft.) it would span a distance of 303 miles.

However, you cannot see one from the other, which you would absolutely be able to do if the Earth were flat. With a curved Earth of its measured radius, the line-of-sight limit for those two elevations caps out at 233 miles. Only with a curved Earth is one invisible from the other, and this is true for any two mountain peaks with clear line-of-sights from one to the other.

If you were standing at the Gates of heaven and God said you just need to answer one question to get in. Is the world flat or round? If you get it wrong you're going to hell for eternity, or you can just tell me you don't know and I will let you in. What would you say ? Just for fun LOL.

I'd throw the book at Him..
I would tell Him He's the most anti-Christ beast I'd ever seen.
I's tell Him if I can't get in by the blood of Jesus, He can keep Heaven for Himself because I don't want in.
Then I'd tell Him it's flat from all credible accounts, but I don't know where or if there's an edge, but there is no discernable curve where it is supposed to be.

LOL, all the fluoridated TV programmed novices say that.
