Mike, the sun has to be below the horizon given the part of the moon that is being lit. But you assume the dark area in view is followed by a sudden drop off thus not enabling light to reflect from the earth to the moon beyond that. Not so. The Earth is way bigger than you imagine. I would suggest the lit up part of the Earth is beyond the horizon…[Read more]

So another Flat Earth argument refuted.

What is the next biggest argument?

Earthshine demo
This should help Mike.

Notice that if you think in 2D it seems impossible.

Okay, how can sunlight hitting the right side of the earth reflect off the earth to light the left side of that waxing gibbous moon?

Mike, if you have a problem picturing how this can occur then work it out yourself. What is the point attacking the idea when it is just your limited mind that is the problem. I just did a short demo to myself…[Read more]

It’s not a matter of me thinking God needed to do it that way. It’s a matter of me believing the scriptures that say God did do it that way.

But from our perspective. If it wasn’t from our perspective, then we may not understand it or notice it. God gives us a taste of reality but a limited one. After death, we will see things much more cle…[Read more]

So what’s lighting up the dark side if it can’t be reflection from the earth?

I would say the Earth is lighting it.

Oh no… did you just use your own brain to solve a problem for the first time in this thread? Kudos!

Thank you. Did I win a prize?

Wait… are you suggesting that a video using 3D graphics is actually a 3D thing?

It represents the reality better. Still has its problems obviously because 3D is still really 2D but made to look 3D.

Think about it Mike.

If the sun directly lights up the moon and the earth and some of that light bounces back to the unlit portion of the moon, then that effect is never going to be uniform every time. Just as we see the a full moon, crescent, and no moon, there would obviously be times when the sun lights up more than a crescent in the moon and…[Read more]

Let me tell you about a story where God changed reality for me.

Many years ago, I picked up my brother from the airport after he arrived from Bali. As I was driving him home, I was so engaged in conversation, that I didn’t notice the lights turn red and the traffic came to a standstill. Coasting along I realised too late and hit the car in front…[Read more]

Really?  Joshua wanted more daylight so “the nation could take vengeance upon its enemies”, and God acted on his command by making the sun and moon STOP shining?  Also, in what world has anyone ever seen a moon shining during the day of a solar eclipse?  So in his effort to “gather around him a great number of teachers to say what his itching ear…

Earthshine 101

Just put the Earth back about double the distance and there you have it.

Earthshine claim? All objects reflect light. Even black objects reflect light even though they mostly absorb it. Otherwise you wouldn’t see them. BTW, the earth is not black, so it reflects light back onto the moon. Pretty obvious then that sunlight can light up the moon and the earth with reflected light from earth lighting up the part of the…[Read more]

“This interpretation is supported by the fact that the Hebrew word translated ‘stand still’ has the same root as a Babylonian word used in ancient astronomical texts to describe eclipses,” he said.

Makes you think right? If not, then the real problem here is the lack of thinking right?

Dig. You’re not thinking straight. If Joshua’s long day happened and there is physical evidence of such, then that is not against the event but for it. I’m surprised I need to point this out as it is common sense.

Everything has an explanation whether it is natural or supernatural. Otherwise it didn’t happen right. Think about it.

Globe cannot be represented correctly on a flat plane

I’m no rocket scientist, but I would have thought that your confusion is resulting from relying on 2D to fully explain 3D.

I have also noticed other 2D reliance to explain 3D. While Globe Earthers (as you call them) often use 2D graphics, they do so to make…[Read more]

Anyway, it saddens me to know that you post videos like the above, thinking you are poking fun at me.

Mike, I try to be honest about stuff even if it might offend. That is truly how many see the Flat Earth argument. I am not joking about that. As for the indoctrination comment, that is the problem. You are like that guy who believes in the…[Read more]
