All easily explained in the flat earth. We're talking past each other and I don't think anybody in this thread actually searches flat earth for the questions and assertions they have. It is what it is. Nothing new UNDER the sun.
People on this thread have tried to find good explanations, but they have been lacking for various reasons.

If you and the other Flat Earth proponents could answer the questions here it would be a great help. The various videos have been both poorly edited and ultimately not able to explain the issues.

Sunset, shape of the day area of the Earth, stars of the southern hemisphere and southern hemisphere travel times all seem insurmountable issues... but I'm happy to hear and discuss them.

We have "searched flat earth" and realised that all you find that way is:
  • blatant lies, like denying the direct flights between Australia and South Africa
  • avoiding the issues (like southern hemisphere stars)
  • really, really stupid arguments
We have also found more useful things by searching:
  • pictures of southern hemisphere stars
  • video taken from direct flights between Australia and South Africa
  • live flight tracking
  • pictures of the Earth from space

but those stars rotate in opposite directions in the night sky

Well, actually, they don't. The stars still appear to rise in the east.

But they do rotate around something that's not the Pole Star. And, looking south, that motion is clockwise rather than counter-clockwise.

The barely fly in the southern hemisphere below certain latitudes - Look this up, I'm not doing your job for you. Do you think you've found something that ends the debate once and for all? Present it better and we'll see. We can see if your assertion proves a globe.

You can fly between all three continents while staying in the southern hemisphere, and "lap" the globe in around a day of flight time.

Can you find me flights that can do the same in the northern hemisphere in 8 hours max?

Also, why are the seasons reversed between the Northern And Southern hemisphere
That one is easy enough for them: the Sun has an inside and outside track, for some reason.

TIMELAPSE OF THE SUN PROVES FLAT EARTH - HD perspective matrix
189,302 views

From Video Description : This is an upgraded version of the original with added timelapse footage. The old, low resolution footage has been replaced with high resolution HD footage. Watch how the sun comes at you when it's rising and goes away from you when it's setting. See how the sun's light at sunset shrinks and trails after it - not at all what we would expect to see if the sun is 93,000,000 miles away.

This is a joke, right? Nobody could believe that garbage, surely?

If you are serious, maybe you could stop posting garbage videos and actually answer the questions.

Getting a lot like Time Cube around here.

I often wonder why a website purported to be about out reach to non-Christians let the fringe conspiracy theorists post here.

It can only paint Christians is a bad light.

Are you more of Christian the me? What's the gospel of our salvation? What doctrine do you adhere to besides science?

Your questions are a bad joke right? Do some research on flat earth proof so you're not speaking from ignorance.

This place is becoming a little holier than thou, especially this thread.
The problem is that the idea of a flat Earth is very stupid (the idea, not the people who cleave to it) and if the first thing a seeker finds when they come to this site is the idiotic idea (not the people who hold such ideas) that there is this amazing conspiracy that defies all logic they may just be turned away from investigating Christianity more.

This if for the atheists and all unbelievers : Ignore at your own peril.

Prayers for you, you are a brother or sister In Christ if you ever believed that Jesus Christ was sent to die for our sins. be crucified, buried and rise the third day according to Old Testament scriptures. If you believe that now, or ever believed that before, you are saved and sealed with the Holy Spirit of Promise. God is not slack concerning His promises
.
The Good News (gospel of salvation)
The gospel of our salvation is in 1 Corinthians chapter 15 and 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 is the gospel of our salvation. It is in my signature.

Ephesians 1:8-13 KJV -
That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,


Ephesians 1:6-7 KJV -
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

7
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;


2 Peter 3:9 KJV - The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Repentance means a change of heart and mind to accept the free gift of salvation from our Father in heaven.

Don't be afraid of what the Bible actually says. God's Word is there for our benefit. It is there to prosper us and not to harm us.

2 Timothy 2:7-13 KJV -
Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:

9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

So is the idea of a flying spinning ball in endless space chasing the sun, we came from monkeys, the big bang and your favorite new stuff: dark matter and dark energy to make it all work. It's a fantasy world you live in.
