• 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.

Try this:
Using the flash on your camera, take a photo of a ball. Where is the light spot?

Where is the moon? Where are the stars? The sun does not cause a "light spot".

If you can see it from 70 miles away you should certainly be able to see it from "thousands" of miles away.

You're living in a dome, despite what you tell yourself.

No one has posted a full picture of the "Globe" earth.

How do you take a full picture of a globe? By definition you are not going to see half of it. In any case, when you can show us a photo of the earth as a dome, we can talk.

Take that same ball outside on a sunny day. Take a photo of it with the sun behind you (your shadow should be next to it). Where is the light spot?

As far as the moon,

The green bit is sue to the nature of the camera used. The last several photos are from the DSCOVR which is at the L1 lagrange point. The main camera builds full color images by swapping out filters to capture red, green, and blue (there are actually 10 filters in all that capture various other wavelengths including those we can't see). It takes about 30 seconds to get all three shots to get a full color shot like this. Hence the artifact.

I work with satellite imagery. I have watched satellites in orbit with my own eyes.

Just look up, man. We are not under some dome with holes poked in it. We are on a ball.

Satellites can go around a flat earth. Looking up only proves the firmament.

If we were on a globe the sky wouldn't look like a dome.
