Given that the two of us don't agree how distance works, I don't think we can have a meaningful discussion about science.Doesn't last very long. Lets get it sustained then you have more evidence.

The distinction between a fusion bomb and sustained fusion in the form of a star, is simply the mass of available fuel and the use of gravity to trigger fusion.
The countries of the world? Have you even bothered to look at the photographs?Oh really. And if I showed you a picture of a rubik's cube, and I had photoshopped out the background, would you be able to judge its size? What when I put the background back in, and it turned out to be a twelve foot high cube in some amusement park somewhere?
So what is the background you were using to assess the size of the Earth in NASA's photographs?
The countries of the world? Have you even bothered to look at the photographs?
Exactly
So you believe the countries can shrink and grow, but the size of the Earth-ball stays the same?The "countries of the world" are mostly hidden under a swirling mass of cloud. Even if they weren't, the Earth and satellite would almost certainly not be in the same relative positions when the photographs were taken. In the extreme case, a satellite parked directly over the north pole would take a completely different photograph from one parked by one parked directly over the south pole, but that would in no way justify you in claiming that they weren't both completely accurate photographs of the Earth.

Hey, to each their own, but I don't call that thinking, nor science.

Hope you guys know they photoshop the clouds and colours in.
No?
Sure, we will believe anything - or, rather, you will.
Some things in the Bible were written according to the understanding of the times, and are not literally correct....the sources of revelation clearly say the earth is stationary.....
One otherthing.
I grew up with computers they're been my life since MS DOS.
I studied Information Technology and I'm an avid PC gamer and have played games from the 80 all the way up to today.
I have a massive collection spanning all the years.
It would be wise for you guys to study the history of silicon computer processing technology.
The progress of software and operating systems.
The progress of computer graphical imagery
The history of 2D to 3D graphical rendering
The progression of screen resolutions and the advancement is technology from cathode to LCD and beyond.
The progression of graphical processing chips. Intel, NVIDIA and AMD
The progression of graphical processing chips achieving real time render high 3D rendering from 10 Frames Per Second all the way up to 144 Frames per second
The progression of Microsofts DirectX API and Open GL
UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND THE ABOVE I'M AFRAID IT'S YOU WHO WILL BELIEVE ANYTHING SHOWN TO BY NASA ON A SCREEN
Well bully for you. I can remember perfectly well the days when it was normal to program a PC running MS-DOS in assembly language. I can still do it with their 64 bit successors, although, of course, the 8254 chip has been succeeded by the HPET; the 8259A by the APIC, and, more recently, by MSIs. Naturally, it is more common nowadays to program in something like C, C# or PHP, depending upon the context.
What was the first game you played?
And the last?
