Of course what seems to be flat stationary land is also part of the moving system. That has been known for centuries.And many graphs given to describe the mount, simply match the reality of the stars moving around us on the flat stationary land.
Again, you misunderstand how the mount works. The mount needs to be set up for a specific latitude according to which hemisphere you are located. If in the northern hemisphere, the mount needs to be set up so that the declination axis is aligned towards the north celestial pole (near Polaris). If in the southern hemisphere, it needs to be set up so that declination axis aligns towards the south celestial pole (where Polaris is nowhere to be seen). This would not be necessary if the earth was flat as it would only need to be aligned to the north celestial pole. And Polaris would always be nearby, which it isn't in the southern hemisphere.Equatorial mount specs insist that the earth is moving, they do not prove anything, the dome does not move,
the stars, sun and moon, themselves circle in unique patterns and elipses.

The dome is not moving, the stars are.
The so called "celestial sphere".

Is what your looking at with any telescope.
It's a good question. I've seen the Andromeda galaxy with the naked eye and it is roughly 14,557,880,000,000,000,000,0000* miles away.@contratodo Why do you claim that human sight stops at 3 miles, even though that perfectly lines up with the fact that horizon begins at 3 miles, and yet if you are stood on a higher elevation, you line of sight stops much further than 3 miles?
Even on "Flat Earth" you can see over 3 Thousand miles without issue.It's a good question. I've seen the Andromeda galaxy with the naked eye and it is roughly 14,557,880,000,000,000,000,0000* miles away.
*I may have missed out, or inserted, one or more zeros, but the underlying point remains.
Nice video but an expensive way of demonstrating the earth is not flat.Again, you misunderstand how the mount works. The mount needs to be set up for a specific latitude according to which hemisphere you are located. If in the northern hemisphere, the mount needs to be set up so that the declination axis is aligned towards the north celestial pole (near Polaris). If in the southern hemisphere, it needs to be set up so that declination axis aligns towards the south celestial pole (where Polaris is nowhere to be seen). This would not be necessary if the earth was flat as it would only need to be aligned to the north celestial pole. And Polaris would always be nearby, which it isn't in the southern hemisphere.
The fact is the sky is visually rotating around two different polar axes.
A demonstration video may help you:
i'd like you to demonstrate that you can see the surface of the earth for 3k miles in the distance... even an ocean expanse...Even on "Flat Earth" you can see over 3 Thousand miles without issue.
My goodness your eyes must have lit up given the illustrations picture a dome which might have some biblical significance.Equatorial mount specs insist that the earth is moving, they do not prove anything, the dome does not move,
the stars, sun and moon, themselves circle in unique patterns and elipses.

Did I say the surface of the earth?i'd like you to demonstrate that you can see the surface of the earth for 3k miles in the distance... even an ocean expanse...
I didn't take your comment as simply "I can see for miles"Did I say the surface of the earth?
So where is your evidence that God literally gathered the wind in His fists (Proverbs 30:4)? God is spirit and therefore He has no 'fists'. The language is obviously figurative. Your claims are actually in keeping with atheists who try to discredit Scripture. Here's a good article on the word 'firmament'.Surely I am more stupid than any man, and have not the understanding of a man,
I neither learned wisdom, not have the understanding of the Holy One.
Who has ascended up to beyond the sky or descended from beyond the sky?
Who has gathered the wind in His fists?
WHO HAS BOUND THE WATERS IN A GARMENT?
Who has established all the ends of the land?
What is His name? And what is His Sons name, if you know it?
Proverbs 30:2-4
That passage is just a coincidence dear one? Or is it the divine word of God?
God has bound the waters in a garment, the firmament, they stop at its boundary,
just as declared in Job 38 by God Almighty Himself.
The word of God is a sharp two edged sword.
Solid and mighty, able to guide one to truth and faith and eternal life.

What any telescope is looking at is called the "celestial sphere" I posted about it above.The fact is the sky is visually rotating around two different polar axes.
Furthermore since the earth rotates so does the projected coordinate system around the axis passing through the celestial poles.
And Polaris would always be nearby, which it isn't in the southern hemisphere.
The fact is the sky is visually rotating around two different polar axes.
It is saying that even if the earth were stationary one could map out the stars in the same way as in the celestial sphere.what result??
Am I using these allegedly fancy words to "explain away the fact that everybody, sees the same stars" because I amFurther more they use fancy words to try to explain away the fact that everybody, sees the same stars!
. Literally brainwashedAm I using these allegedly fancy words to "explain away the fact that everybody, sees the same stars" because I am
What do you think I, and tens of milliions , hundreds of million others, gain by insisting on this alleged lie?
- Under the influence of the devil?
- Willingly doing the devil's work?
- Suffering from mental illness?
- Paid to lie by some secret organisation?
- Lack the intelligence to see I have been fooled?
- Some other reason?
