• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

I did that already with an image in this thread. The globe model fails to explain it I guess.

So when the axis is tilted towards the sun you will get 24 hour sun at the height of summer.

On a flat Earth this would happen at the North/Central pole... but not at the south which is not an enclosed circular area, but the entire rim of the Earth.


In contrast, how is the the Flat Earth's South/Outer Rim simultaneously lit up by a single sun despite being vastly further away than the North/Central regions of the Earth?

James cooks second expedition. 60000 miles.
Using a globe model people try to explain away the large millage, but the truth makes clear why it took so long.
James Cook's 2nd expedition :doh:

It should never be above the horizon if the earth is horizontal with the sun, what they should have seen is the sun at the horizon line the whole time, but what is seen is the sun above them the whole time. From their perspective the sun should be below them on the globe earth model.
They don't see the sun "above" them. The sun appears to rotate around them, ranging from low on the horizon to high. They see this over the entirety of Antarctica during Summer, which your diagram fails to explain.
