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.

That pretty picture of the star trails you posted?

Easily explainable through the effect you'd get thanks to the rotation of the spherical earth. And if the "dome" you mean is just the curve of the atmosphere around the spherical earth, then maybe we're on the same page, but if you're referring to ancient Hebrew cosmology, then yes, I reject that in favor of what we've observed. Mainly, that that the atmosphere gets a lot thinner the closer you get to space. This is elementary school level science.



And if reality is in "conflict" with God's word, it's our interpretation of the latter that's wrong. Btw, Polaris hasn't always been the northern pole star.

What it comes down to is this: the earth is *not* flat. Never was, never will be. So, is this an accurate depiction? Not by a long shot.



This is though:

Btw, we live in a heliocentric solar system. The earth revolves around the sun. And, for the record, the stars are not within the atmosphere of the earth. The closest one, apart from the sun, which is 92.96 million miles away, is Proxima Centauri, which is 4.25 light-years from the sun. Again, elementary school level science. And yes, far outer space does exist.

I present exhibit A: The Andromeda Galaxy. 2.5 million light-years from earth.

The Bible is not being literal. It is using what is known as phenomenological language, which means it is describing the earth as we experience it. It looks fat to us, therefore phenomenologicaly it is flat. Even though objectively it is spheroid.

I looked at all your pictures. There are MUCH MORE PROBABLE explanations than fraud for every single one. Put on your thinking cap and look at them again. Ask yourself what OTHER things might have caused this?

Actually, the claim is that the Earth is revolving around the sun, while the solar system is moving around inside the galaxy, while the galaxy is moving around inside the universe, yet all the stars stay in a circular pattern.


Do you honestly think that in a year's time you'd see star trails with a cylindrical pattern when the Earth is said to be traveling along with the solar system and galaxy through space? Even when the Earth would be one one side of the sun for half of a year, of which the sun would block some of the stars on the other side of the sun. It doesn't match what we see.


Think.

And if reality is in "conflict" with God's word, it's our interpretation of the latter that's wrong. Btw, Polaris hasn't always been the northern pole star.

Close enough.



The Heliocentric model was promoted without any proof.

If you look into it, you'll see that Copernicus is thought to have been a sun worshipper, and so he placed the sun at the center of the solar system. The "planets" are satellites "worshipping the sun".

By the way

I present exhibit A: The Andromeda Galaxy. 2.5 million light-years from earth.

Who's going to dig that far to see the pillars? Who can ascend to the Heavens beyond the firmament? Not possible. However, it might be possible to get to the edge (at Antarctica)

So if the earth is flat, and the north pole is at the center under the Highest point of the dome, as you get closer to the edge this dome must become closer to the earth where it eventually touches the edge in Antarctica right?

If So, what's the Height of at the apogee of the dome? and what shape is is, so we can calculate the height of the ferment at any point in the globe.

It's impossible to do. We have to trust God's Word. However, the evidence is all around us to show that it's true.



Why? If it's there, you should be able to get up close enough to it to take a photo of it---at some point--that dome touches the earth, all around the circle---should be able to walk right up to it and touch it---right at the edge of the earth.

Nothing odd at all that the Earth may be flat yet no other known planet or moon is flat...lol

There is only one moon. Our moon. Planets are nothing but stars. The solid pictures you see are CGI fakes.


Notice how these "planets" are obviously not terra firma. They're stars. Luminaries in the firmament.

Antarctica, the edge of the Earth, is protected by a treaty that prevents civilians doing expeditions.

However, I did provide a video of what many believe shows the firmament in Antarctica.

So mars is a star not a planet? Lol Yes there are other moons besides ours and they are all spheres as are all other planets we have detected.

You are painfully and humorously wrong but I do encourage you to continue defending this belief of yours.

A grainy 1920's photo of cloud formation??? Should be able to go up to where the treaty starts and fly up there and get a much better photo, it won't be so high at that point then at the middle of the earth, right?? A telescope would help.

Mm-hmm. Galileo's telescope was also a CGI-faking machine. LOL

The Greeks figured out the earth is a round spheroid a long time ago.

Wait, what? The Greeks?! Well, they too were involved in a massive conspiracy theory which is today perpetuated by NASA while they and Illuminati know the truth. Every single culture that believed in a round Earth was creating a huge conspiracy theory! LOL
