  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. 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. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Then where does the sun go when night falls and don't say it's because of the movement of the earth b/c the earth doesn't move, it is only the sun, moon & the stars that move.
Sorry but your post doesn't make any sense. You are posing the question to people who believe that the earth is a revolving globe, asking them where the sun goes, but then tell them they are not allowed to say it's because of the movement of the earth.

Well, you'll have to tell us where the sun goes then.

If we're not allowed to say, and you won't accept, it's due to the movement of the earth, you tell us.
What's your explanation?

The sun is on the other side of the sphere. As I stated before when the sun is up in Wales where you live it is night time on the other side of the world. For example when it is noon in Wales is around midnight in New Zealand. Look it up. This proves that the earth is a sphere since that can’t happen on a flat earth.

All someone has to do really is to watch the news.
When it's dark in the UK, at around 5.pm at this time of year, it's broad daylight in America. Australia will see the fireworks for the New Year before the UK does, and they were playing cricket while we were in bed. (Mind you, the way England played, they may have done better in the dark.)

As others have said, your question doesn’t make any sense. In fact it’s a deflection from what I actually said.

If the earth is flat, and the sun moves in the way you and flat earthers say, then as it rotates in the sky it would have to get smaller and smaller as it moves away from you. It would not go below the horizon at all.

But you have acknowledged that you saw it go down below the horizon while maintaining its size. That completely contradicts the flat earth claims.

You need to focus on what you actually saw and ask why the sun did not do what it should do if the earth is truly flat.

That's because;


Sorry the forum wont let link to an article
As I have told you before, You can test your idea. Cut out a circle of cardboard, and ay it flat. In a dark ro=om, switch a torch on and shine it down on to the cardboard circle. Yes, the are immediately below the torch will be brightest, but the rest of the disc won't be in darkness.

The sun is hottest when it is directly over head showing that the sun is a flat parallel disk moving over and above the earth. Because as one is moved away from the center of the disk the temperature becomes less as will the light.

If you stand under the sun and follow it as it moves you will remain under the hottest part of the sun and you would walk around the spherical world where the opposite side of the sun is in darkness. This cannot physically happen on a flat earth.

The sun rejoices as a strong man to run a race, it's circular path is from one end of the sky to the other and nothing under the sky is hid from the heat of it. Psalm 19

And that is the first time I've been able to post since posting my Revelation Rapture thread.
The globe model is a deception for the purpose of hiding the events spoken of in Revelation. When Revelation 8 and 9 are happening people will be led to believe that it is just random 'asteroids' and 'aliens'.

Going back to the psalm it says nothing under 'heaven' is hid from the heat of the sun.

What do you all think that means? Nothing in 'outer-space' is hid from the heat of the sun, or nothing under the sky is hid from its heat? Or was the inspired psalmist somehow wrong?

No, it's not.
Firstly, you could not explain this in your own words you had to go looking for an article.
Secondly, you obviously only search for answers in places that reflect/agree with your beliefs. For example, your article begins with the words, "On a flat earth model...... " .

If you were to Google "why does the sun set?" you'd get some very different answers that were, obviously, without the flat earth bias.

I know we get so many untruths, I must admit though, that they have done a thorough job at convincing most of the world that we live on sphere.

Yes I agree contratdo, this is the reason why they had to invent fictional space & a spinning earth via TV, movies, books, & their none existent moon walks.
