I know that the Bible doesn't mention sun-dogs but I place my source on God's word of there being a firmament so therefore sun-dogs are IMO a reflection off the firmament as are moon-dogs & rainbows.
Yes the bible certainly mentions the firmament. It doesn't tell us that it is a reflective, solid substance.

King James Bible
Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass? Job 37:18

New International Version
can you join him in spreading out the skies, hard as a mirror of cast bronze?

New Living Translation
he makes the skies reflect the heat like a bronze mirror. Can you do that?

Christian Standard Bible
can you help God spread out the skies as hard as a cast metal mirror?

Sun-dogs & moon- dogs work on the same principal as a rainbow.
True, but nothing to do with any "firmament"
He says so, therefore it is true? What is this syncretic nonsense, a fusion of Christianity and Hinduism? The seven chakras?

Did you even watch the video before you posted the link, or did you just search youtube for "rainbows and firmament" and post the first one that came up?

Those were Elihu's words. How did God respond in the next chapter?

Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind:​
“Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?"​

Of course I did, not sure what he meant by the seven chakras though :confused:

Who fixed its measurements? Surely you know!

Or who stretched a measuring line across it?

On what were its foundations set,

or who laid its cornerstone,

while the morning stars sang together

and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Where does the above suggest the firmament is solid?

The meaning seems to be uncertain. Translations differ as to how they render it. The TRC translation, for example, says: "Hast thou helped him to spread out the heaven, which is to look upon, as it were cast of clear metal?" Anyway, these are the words of Elihu, one of the "friends" of Job.

Those foundations are the fundamental laws of physics.

I don't understand ???

Our exploratory research points to systemised incremental consulting.

Sorry but I need a simplification of "systemised incremental consulting." I know what the individual words mean, but what do they mean together, in the context of the fundamental laws of physics?

FLAT EARTH~SUNDOG PROVE FIRMAMENT​

His simple experiment fails on so many levels.
  • He doesn't reproduce anything resembling the horizontal sundogs.
  • We are "supposedly" inside the dome, yet he is refracting light outside the dome, plus it is in the opposite direction to his light source. Sundogs do not appear in the opposite direction to the sun. He seems to think there is a big projector screen outside the firmament.
  • You guys claim the sun and moon are in the firmament, not outside it, so again his experiment is not 'reflecting' what you claim is reality.
The weatherman's explanation is 100% correct. If it was, as you claim, light refracted by or reflected off the 'firmament', we would see this phenomenon every day.

Is it me or do most of these video narrators you've been posting sound like inbred retards?

Being as you liked my last video so much here is another one for good measure.

At least that guy doesn't speak like he got dropped on his head a few times as an infant.
Still rather boring to listen to though.
