But did it in every way imitate the sun so as to provide the 24 hour "days" required by your doctrine? Well, maybe it did, and maybe it didn't. You just don't know.

And what';s the easiest thing to do when you have a doctrine that depends on something you don't really know from Scripture?

Simple. Make something up, something pious-sounding and sufificiently religious. and declare it to be true.
So your saying that neither one of us can prove our point but for some reason you idea that there was no evening or morning is true even tho you can’t actually prove it as you’ve stated in the quote above and somehow the very words day and night, evening and morning don’t prove that day and night, evening and morning existed before the sun? Are you on medication?

Antarctica as shown above does not exist as the real Antarctica circumferences the earth as shown here;

You have no idea what the real Antarctica looks like, you just repeat this fantasy of others, without any evidence (while rejecting the real evidence like photos or the people who have actually been there).

What happens when facts conflict with one's secure world view?

A choice must be made. Either be flexible enough to alter one's worldview to try to accommodate observed facts.
Or try to rationalize or disprove the facts to align with world view.

It is unfortunate that these days the trend is the latter. Hold firm and double down with one's favored worldview in the face of all contrary evidence. And with the help of the internet, find all kinds of things that seem to support the alternate view.

The thing is, we all need to have the humility to acknowledge that our human concept will always be not quite the ultimate truth.
Yes, this is true. Every person should be prepared to change their world view if the facts don't match it. This is why, even though believing the earth to be spherical, I set about testing my world view against the evidence. I was prepared to pursue the evidence wherever it led, even if that meant it led to a flat earth. But, the more I tested the evidence, the more the spherical earth was reaffirmed.

Except the parts spoken by our Lord Christ Himself that happen to not conform to your doctrine.
I explained in detail why I believe it is metaphorical and you refuse to discuss the topic. So if you believe that the message in John 6 is literal then surely you must also believe that the message in John 4 is literal?

”Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”“
‭‭John‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Is Jesus literally speaking of water here? Does He give us water that makes us never thirsty?

”Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.“
‭‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭35‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Do you not get hungry or thirsty anymore after coming to Christ?

What is God’s position on drinking blood? The whole reason Jesus used this particular example was to separate the chaff from the wheat. That’s why the more they grumbled about it the more He pushed the idea and the result was that the unbelievers went away.

Now the big question is, are you going to actually answer these questions or are you just going to pretend they don’t exist because you can’t answer them without contradicting your theology?

I agree, God's earth is beautiful, beyond compare, but he created it level, stationary & with boundary's. You'll never get boundary's on a ball.
You'll find out one day.

If you can prove that it exist's, I'll back track on what I've said.
The only proof that you'll accept is what you see for yourself. So go ahead; take a trip to Antarctica.

I don't doubt people go there, but they are only taken to the edge or the islands.

Like I've said before they only take you to the edge or the islands, so I'll not be wasting my money any time soon.
Now If I could fly over the iced walls as Byrd did, now that would be a different kettle of fish.

They don't, and you could find that out for yourself, maybe by asking a travel agent.
You won't, of course.

Then again, you could make the trip and take photos to prove that you can only go to the edge of the islands.
Depends how desperate you are to to prove your point.
Now If I could fly over the iced walls as Byrd did, now that would be a different kettle of fish.
There aren't any iced walls - even if you were to fly, you'd never see them.

Yes there are, what do you think God did in order to stop the seas gushing any further ? And closer you get to the ice walls is where you'll find the still waters.

Not many loners are there ?
It does not matter if you are a loner or go in a group. What matters is that you go there without any kind of a travel agency or who you are imagining is lying to them where they are.

Its easier to survive in a group, certainly. Its not like a walk in your village.

That is the best we can do.
