C'mon, fixating on that is a bit feeble given all of the unanswerable questions about a 'flat earth'.

But ignoring the real questions and fixating on irrelevancies is exactly what flat-earthers do.

For the benefit of people watching at home: Christianity does not teach flat-earthism. Christians have always known that the Earth was round.

Excuses, excuses keep them coming so you can continue to believe the lie.
You need to learn how to tell the difference between an excuse and an explanation. You made a rather foolish demand. It appears that you suffer from high levels of science denialism and the evidence that you demand would probably not convince you. Instead you should look at the evidence that you have no answer to.

What would you expect to see? Tell me how small an object you want to see in the Moon. It is easy to calculate the diameter of lens needed to see it.

A mobile phone and a telescope will do the job, with the right adaptor:

If the moon makes its own light, why are there phases?

I don't know about any of you, but when I walk out into my yard at night and the moon is anywhere near to being full, my yard is lit up with light. Amazing.
And when it is not close to full?

The amount of light is proportional to the illuminated area of the moon.

Actually this is not correct. At First and Last Quarter, when half the Moon is illuminated, the Moon is only about one-tenth as bright as the Full Moon.

Radagast did not state that the proportionality was linear, so surely his statement remains accurate.

Ezekiel 32:7

7When I blot you out, I will cover the heavens
and make their stars dark;
I will cover the sun with a cloud,
and the moon shall not give its light.

Mark 13:24

24 “But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light,

In step with science ... no sun .... no moonlight, not in contradiction with science.

In Genesis 1:16 ... its just stating the sun is a brighter light and the moon is the less bright light ... which of course is true as well

It's like this (on a logarithmic scale):



But since perception is also logarithmic, the perceived intensity is remarkably close a linear function of phase.

If the sun and moon are thousand and millions of miles out in space. what does a cloud have to do with the sun not being able to shine on the moon.

That is because the sun and moon are locally above the earth. So a cloud can block out the sun over the whole earth. But still i do not believe just because the sun is blocked out, that is the reason the moon will not give light.

I would have thought that the distance between the sun and moon was essentially the same as between the sun and Earth. Have you got a source about this? I'd love to read more.

Again, the times zoom on a lens tells me NOTHING about the actual focal length of the lens, and thus nothing about what the magnification actually is.

If you knew anything about cameras and had actually paid attention to what I said, you'd know that.
