  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

It's not like 1862 is the time of the Druids or something.

Doesn’t make sense why it’s covered in dirt for this type of structure. It’s supposedly a grave for a royal and yet badly maintained?

Also there is this there and it’s clearly not a modern British structure.

The road rises and fall along its entire length. At eye level you can only see about 3 miles to the horizon. With my drone at 300 feet, the view is out to 21 miles. The drone can see trucks approaching that it can't see at 6 feet.

Same looking out to sea. There might be no ships in sight at ground level, but send the drone up to 1,000 feet and it can see ships almost 40 miles away. How do you explain that?
To @Apple Sky...please don't ignore this. How do you explain it?

It's the middle of the Scottish Highlands and the Scottish weather is terrible at the best of times. Have you never heard of weathering?

Well, it was built in 1852, it's not really modern, but that's an entirely you problem.

If a piece of a ship is high above the water (so that ripples or waves don't come into it) and the water is planar, then that piece of ship should be visible to any eye that is also above the level of the plane.

But we know that the altitude of one's eye affects what one can and cannot see, because the curvature of the earth interposes itself.
Because of perspective, objects will rise of they are below the horizon and drop if they are above, and become smaller, so that eventually even a big boat will be covered by a small wave that’s a mile or two in front of it. Eventually you won’t see the object at all because we don’t have infinite resolution in our optics and simply can’t take in all the light.

I think the Debunk coin table video proved this well. Before he zooms in there is no gap between the coin and the table.

When I say 'round' I mean a flat round circle.
Yeah well, the earth isn’t a flat round circle. I can’t even believe I’m discussing such silliness with you.

The Balmoral pyramids were built in the 1800s, that's a proven and evidenced fact, and you're a fool of the highest order and it's only because of the rules of this website that stops me REALLY expressing with the vitriol you deserve how I really think of you and your claims.
I am personally in awe of the calm and patience you have exercised in the face of such monumental stupidity. I thought @Apple Sky was bad, but she is a total lightweight in comparison to our new friend.

I understand that but don't people think odd things of every subject imaginable?

I just don't understand why this is such a hot topic?
Probably because anyone with a working brain knows better.

Changing your altitude doesn't affect the resolution of your optics.

No it has been the official narrative for 500 years.
The Moscow Patriarchate likes to consider themselves "new Rome", but that has nothing to do with any empires past or present. It doesn't matter how many churches fall under their jurisdiction, a Patriarch is just a bishop, and he gets a single vote in a Church Council, same as every other bishop. The Orthodox Church rejects the papacy, so there is really no basis for claiming Moscow to be 'new Rome'. Constantine actually expanded the city of Byzantium into what he initially called "New Rome", but it simply became known as "Constantine's city" aka Constantinople.
