• 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.

  • 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.

Perspective causes objects to appear smaller as they move further away. The sun and moon stay the same size as they pass across from East to West, so no, it isn't a matter of perspective.

No the sun appears to be a different size at sunset & sunrise.

The earth does not travel around the sun, it is the sun, moon & the stars that travels in the firmament above the earth.
It is the firmament/dome that turns like a wheel, not the earth.
As for sunrise & sunsets that is just a matter of perspective.
As @podromos has said in post #1,681, the sun and moon would have to change measurable size if it was just a matter of perspective. And not only that they would have to change speed too, just like in this simulation video @ 1:19 - 1:50

The sun doesn't actually change size, it just appears to.
But its measurable size does not change. It remains a constant 0.5°. This measurement SHOULD change if the Sun is as close as FE proponents claim

How does it continuously send images without falling down?

By Balloons.

A satellite crashed and landed in Brazil with a balloon still attached to it, this also happened in Michigan, Los Angeles & Chile . :tearsofjoy:

They sometimes appear bigger at rising and setting, but when measured in photographs they are actually exactly the same size.
We've posted several examples of multiple exposure photographs in this or other threads where this is demonstrated.

I don't look at photographs, I look at the real thing.

Where are these dishes pointing?

This is a Christian organization providing satellite TV channels for populations across Africa & the Middle East. For them to do this, satellites must exist & be in geostationary orbit around the earth. Balloons wouldn't work and these dishes need to be pointed at an exact location in the sky. One degree off can mean no signal. I know this because I have set up satellite dishes myself. Try pointing one at a balloon in the sky and you'll get my drift, or literally the balloon's drift!
