  • 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.

The light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold.” Isaiah 30: 26.
Spectral analysis of moon light shows it to be reflected sun light.

A.I. overview
Spectral analysis shows sunlight is a broad, high-energy spectrum from nuclear fusion, while moonlight is reflected sunlight, appearing similar in visible wavelengths but much dimmer, with slight spectral differences due to lunar surface absorption and atmospheric scattering, resulting in lower intensity and a subtly different Red:Far-Red (R:FR) ratio, making it appear cooler (lower color temperature) and weaker. The Sun emits radiation across the whole spectrum (radio to X-ray), whereas the Moon primarily reflects visible light, but its surface also re-emits some energy as infrared heat.​

Show me one place where he said he was a prophet; otherwise, just be quiet. You have your opinions, as do others. No need to make personal attacks.
No body said he claimed to be a prophet. Take your strawman and compost it.

I was not talking to you. So big and noble of you to get involved. Your buddy called Rob Skiba a false prophet.

Go take your flight from Sydney to Santiago.

@Paul4JC , I note with disappointment that you have not attempted to explain how the regular flights between Sydney in Australia, and Los Angeles and Santiago in North America and South America respectively, can work on your flat earth. There are multiple direct flights between Sydney and those two cities each week, yet the respective flight times are completely impossible on your flat earth. They match perfectly with the globe however.
The fact that neither you nor your fellow flat earthers are capable of providing any explanation clearly demonstrates the falsity of the flat earth. You would recognise this if you were capable of thinking rationally about this subject, however it has become obvious that rational thought and flat earth cannot coexist.

It's a public forum. Anyone can respond to anyone else. Rob Skiba is a fraud and a liar, at least he was when he was alive.
Go take your flight from Sydney to Santiago.
Please explain how the flight to Santiago takes less time than the flight to Los Angeles.

The light of the moon shall be as the (like it not equal) light of the sun just means that the moon has no light of its own but merely reflects the sun.

Oh so God didn't make two great lights then, one for the day & one for the night.

What has he lied about ?
Atmospheric refraction. He sells a kit that he claims bends light downwards like Atmospheric refraction, when in fact it bends light upwards. He was making money selling the kits which also makes him a fraud.

Do you have a response to my question in post #259?
Thanks for the useful map.

Notice the other flights in your plane earth map, and your exact trajectory with stops in Miami, Houston, Dallas, LA. 39 and 42 to hours!. Why would anyone take such if there really are faster, cheaper non-stop flights?

The light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold.” Isaiah 30: 26.

Nothing is here said, nor is it said in any other part of the Scriptures that the sun only is a great light, and that the moon only shines by reflection.

The sun is called “ greater light to rule the day, ” and the moon the “ lesser light to rule the night. ” Although of these two great lights one is less than the other, each is declared to shine with its own independent light.

St. Paul affirms emphatically that "‘There is one glory of the sun and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars, for one star differeth from another in glory.” 1 Cor. 15:41.

And you are the exception?
Thanks for the useful map.
Please use it to explain the quicker flights to Santiago.
Notice the other flights in your plane earth map, and your exact trajectory with stops in Miami, Houston, Dallas, LA. 39 and 42 to hours!. Why would anyone take such if there really are faster, cheaper non-stop flights?

Flights Sydney to Santiago
I can answer that easily, so why can't you answer my question?

The answer to your question is because there isn't a large demand for direct flights between Sydney and Santiago (we don't have a lot of Chileans living in Australia) which is why there are only a couple of flights each week, as opposed to flights between Sydney and Los Angeles where there are multiple flights every day. If the times and days of the Santiago flights suit you then the direct flight is the best option. If you need to fly on one of the days not covered by the direct flights, or if your arrival time is critical, then your only option is to take flights with multiple stops.

That is beside the point though. There are direct flights between Sydney and Santiago and it takes less time flying direct between those two cities than it does between Sydney and Los Angeles. How is that possible on a flat earth? You've tried to avoid answering the question once now. I'm hoping you will show more strength of character than your fellow flat earthers have shown.

That was explained back in this post.
The earth is a globe which means the distance is shorter.

Has Mark moved out of his Mum's basement yet?
I remember Mark using the lack of direct flights between continents in the Southern Hemisphere as proof of the flat earth, except now it is irrefutable proof of the globe since there now are direct flights between those continents as we now have passenger jets capable of flying the distance. Nice "own goal", Mark :oldthumbsup:

Prior to 1982 there was no non stop flight from Sydney to Los Angeles. They had to stop for fuel at Fiji, Canton Island and Hawaii.
Yes, unfortunately that's all you have. A bunch of arguments that are easily debunked.

I wish some on here would.
Perhaps you need to make clear what it is that your eyes see in the photos of the earth from space to cause you to believe that they are all faked in some way.

What has he lied about ?
This has been answered umpteen times. Although I wasn't involved in that particular discussion, I remember that it was connected to the refraction kits he sold, and the instructions to look through the wrong part of the lens.
