Maybe instead of "It does take some effort to notice the Coriolis Effect." I should have said:I disagree. I find Foulcault's Pendulum a quaint, dainty little thing.
Are you saying only parts of the Bible are to be believed? Just ignore the other parts, especially if they make you uncomfortable?The Bible is NOT a scientific document. If you choose to go down that path it is your folly
There's a lot of differences between those. How do you know which one is the ABSOLUTE word of God and not a mere poor translation?I did not choose any word, i just listed the English words that have been used to translate raqia to English. If i personally use an English word i use dome or sky.
The Bible states God placed the sun, moon and stars in the dome/sky above the earth. To give light on the earth.
CJB
God said, “Let there be lights in the dome of the sky to divide the day from the night; let them be for signs, seasons, days and years; and let them be for lights in the dome of the sky to give light to the earth”; and that is how it was. God made the two great lights — the larger light to rule the day and the smaller light to rule the night — and the stars. God put them in the dome of the sky to give light to the earth,
NKJV
Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth,
NIV
And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth,
NAB (Revised Edition)
Then God said: Let there be lights in the dome of the sky, to separate day from night. Let them mark the seasons, the days and the years, and serve as lights in the dome of the sky, to illuminate the earth. And so it happened: God made the two great lights, the greater one to govern the day, and the lesser one to govern the night, and the stars. God set them in the dome of the sky, to illuminate the earth,
CEV
God said, “I command lights to appear in the sky and to separate day from night and to show the time for seasons, special days, and years. I command them to shine on the earth.” And that's what happened. God made two powerful lights, the brighter one to rule the day and the other to rule the night. He also made the stars. Then God put these lights in the sky to shine on the earth,

And there is a VERY very sensible reason for that.-The point is not a single one (English translations) even hints at God placing the sun, moon and stars in an outer space. Millions to billions of miles and light years away from earth.
Well here's the problem: The created light will be either in the bottom of the ocean, sitting on land, or in the sky. That is pretty much the only 3 options to an ancient civilization. So the argument that "look, they're in the sky" and showing them be in the sky is kind of a "good piece of evidence to prove your point"....if we were living 6000 years ago.And not only, The Bible state this, that these created lights are not in outer space. Even an observed view of these created lights, shows they are in the (raqia) dome, sky, firmament, expanse, vault and not in outer space.
Why is so little of the moon lit up? What's happening here?
Can you explain what detail or feature or observation across these four photographs of the moon leads you to differentiate between the moon being set in a firmament, and the moon (outside our atmosphere in space) being seen *through* our atmosphere?-

Just so you are aware, this man is frequently repeating a single argument that hinges on ONE misunderstanding of the mapping of plane travel. This guy tossed up some very impressive looking math (but it's gr8 level stuff). But the math is a distraction from the fact that the argument
Itself is flimsy.
In any case, if you'd like to do a science experiment with me, to show you the earth's curve I would love to do it!! I'm in edmonton alberta canada. Where are you?
Actually that invitations is open to anyone! Dm me if you want
As a globalist, I struggled with this as I had traveled in both directions multiple times from CA. India via Japan, Korea, India via Frankfurt, Moscow. Upon studying the map it made sense either way. In fact, flat and round are basically mirrors of each other.When planes and ships circumnavigate the globe, how does a flat earther respond? I'm very curious.
True.Wind can allegedly exceed 100 km/hr. Any wind, if it existed, would affect the movement of the airplane. Unlike someone or something on the ground, an aircraft does not have anything to counteract any sidewise force from, for example, the alleged wind.
It's already explained by the diagram in #743, i.e.Now, I will let someone else explain why this is all nonsense.
Don't all aircraft set trim to compensate for such things?Now, I will let someone else explain why this is all nonsense.

I am pretty certain aircraft are flown by navigating relative to the earth below. But I don't have one.Don't all aircraft set trim to compensate for such things?
I've raised flight times in the Southern Hemisphere multiple times in the past. I never get a response.What does the QANTAS flight from Johannesburg to Sydney look like on that map?
Does it look 6,800 miles long?
The argument there is not that much more sophisticated than asking why (if the earth is rotating) we don't land 300 meters away when we jump up in the air.The analogy in Heliocentrism Refuted: Experimental Proof of a Stationary Earth likening a plane with throwing a ball while on a rotating merry-go-round is wrong
But you could do that with anything. It doesn't make your observation more meaningful OR more correct.The detail is that i never let science effect my observations. It is just like the tonal school of painting, who teaches their students to see in value and not in color/
I was never exposed to tonal painting when i began to paint. So i was not affected by its teaching, so when it came to painting from life outdoors's, still life's and landscape's. I was freely able to observe color and it relationship to light.
So not having science and its beliefs drilled into me, when i look at the moon. I can actually look and observe the moon as it is and not from what i have been told it is.
What is a star and how does our sun contradict that definition?Just like the sun, i never believe (way before i knew anything about a flat earth) the sun was a star. I remember asking a fellow believer if the sun is a star, why is it not spoken of that way in The Bible. The Bible never refers to the sun as a star.
To be clear, that doesn't mean you know what a sun is. It just means you know WHERE it is.So i an see the sun as it has been created, a great created light and not just another sun among billions of suns in an outer space.
