Haven't you taken photos of the undersides of passenger jets flying at high altitude? If you have then you see they have the same blue tint as the moon.

Indeed, which cannot be attributed to their paint scheme - at present, the underside of the wings of nearly all airliners is painted white or light grey, and these are also the most common colors for the engine nacelles and the underside of the fuselage.

Prior to this post, I assumed you had more than a basic understanding of photography. Now I'm beginning to wonder if you even have that.
Where have you ever seen reflected light cause a light source to appear a different colour, seeing as you claim the moon is a light source and not a reflector of light. It sounds to me like you just pulled that out from where the sun don't shine.

It is something you do not believe. The moon light is the light to light the night and not the sun. The suns light is the light for the day, so when the sun is out the moon ceases to be the dominate light. As the light of the sun over powers the moons light.

Plus both the sun and moon are disk facing towards the earth, so this has the possibility of what i wrote about.

Really needs the volume on when watching...


So true. I like Javascript’s prototyping, but it is the antithesis of a strongly-typed language such as C.

Of course with Ruby you frequently have to coerce variables to make sure you get output in the expected type, due to the vague duck typing system. .to_a, .to_s and .to_i are methods that one should not have to use as much as one does. I still like Ruby, but not the duck typing aspect.

Also in the image he posted there were five true circles from the base of one dome and the ends of two cylinders, viewed at an angle of course, and then one perfect circle from the sphere, since a 2D image of a sphere always yields a circle. This is not counting the ovuloid shadows cast by these translucent objects.

Are you claiming that sunlight is blue in colour? Is that why you claim the moon appears tinted blue during the day?

If they were disks then they would appear progressively oval in shape the further they are from directly overhead, yet the only shape change occurs just above the horizon and is due to atmospheric refraction.

Indeed, I’m not on facebook either, but I enjoyed that video. I also use facebook to watch videos of some church services like those of my friend @MarkRohfrietsch and those of St. Magnus the Martyr in the City of London. Now Mark’s church now uploads to YouTube, which is a win for me, as I have a paid youtube subscription (best value in streaming services IMO, because youtube content creators are superior to most TV type series, and YouTube also consistently has movies I want to see available at no extra charge to subscribers, for example, last month they had Titanic, the Andromeda Strain and Logan’s Run, among others, and this month they have the Star Trek films, which you just don’t see on Netflix any more due to Paramount wanting to cultivate its own rival platform for streaming.

There are also lots of out of copyright films uploaded to YouTube along with interesting documentaries and other learning material.

But it would be much more unpleasant with advertisements.

I might start streaming services from the two parishes I am charged with, and I have also thought of launching a personal facebook channel.

No my position on this as i have stated before. Is that both the sun and moon are lights which are disk. That face parallel toward the surface of the earth and oceans. What ever light (if any at all) the moon receives from the sun during the day is reflected from off of the surface of the earth or the water on the earth.

So that and other contributing factors* can contribute to the none lit areas of the moon, having a pale blue tint to the surface.

Other contributing factors can be aerial perspective.

Another fine example of an impression emitting light.
In this photo of the moon the impression close to the shadow (top just left of center) area on the moon is emitting a lot of light and shines quite bright, brighter than any other impression.

View attachment 265677

And a close up of that area.

Obviously photoshopped.
(I couldn't resist)

So God can not created an object that can emit light, go through lighting stages/phases, block out the light of the sun, and produce its own eclipse stages.
Could He? Yes. Did He? No.
Lets see God can part a sea, walk on water, raise people from death, heal people, make an ax head float, etc....
but God can not create a moon that has its own light goes through lighting stages. etc.....
Sure He could, but His design didn't call for one.
or are you a Jefferson type believer.
I don't believe in Jefferson.

Yeah, I've noticed that if the sun is up it's pretty much daytime. And the moon doesn't couint as much of a light source when the sun is out as well,

Have you ever seen pototgraphers set up an umbrella-looking reflector to provide "fill light" when taking pictures? If so,have you ever seen the need to inform them that it's just a reflector and not a real light source?
The suns light is the light for the day, so when the sun is out the moon ceases to be the dominate light.
Do tell.
As the light of the sun over powers the moons light.
Yeah, I reckon most of us have noticed that.
Plus both the sun and moon are disk facing towards the earth
Neither is a disk, which I reckon explains part of your problem here.
, so this has the possibility of what i wrote about.
Nah.

Here is a photo i took Tuesday and it is a good example of showing how the moon's light is being emitted from the surface or right below the surface of the moon. Every white area on the moon is light being emitted and even at some of the places, can be seen the beam or beams of light being emitted.
Shopped! (I love doing that!) If the moon is just a lightbulb. then it's can't be flat, then, can it? And in any case, howcome the dark patches? Not a very uniform lightbulb, is it?

Huh. Ultimate frisbee is probably a pretty popular sport among the flat earth crowd.

You mean like Antarctica which is God's boundary ?

I saw a map of the flat earth with Antarctica being the ice wall around it, and beyond it more lands with a further ice wall around them and around this flat earth with its ice wall, in the center. Thought of saving it to use, just can't find it right now. But seeing there is the map, for how the flat earth is, it must be so.
