It isn't a matter of belief! You make claims that are patently stupid and then when I can't take it any more you whine like a baby for calling you stupid! There is no way for ANYTHING to EVER be hidden behind the horizon on a flat Earth. The horizon, if you could even make it out, is simply...

NOTHING WOULD EVER BE HIDDEN BEHIND THE HORIZON ON A FLAT EARTH!!! You just cannot be this stupid! Just think it through! What would ever cause anything that was moving parallel to a flat Earth to be hidden by that same Earth? :dunce::duh:

:up:

We've been discussing perspective and thus the inference was clearly about distance, not how thick the atmosphere is. If you want to talk about the atmosphere then you're just talking about another obstruction and things, as I've said before, would simply fade into the distance and there would...

I have no idea what I did. :doh: I don't have the time to figure it out. Dave, forget the 25 ft. The point is that the difference is itsy bitsy and you wouldn't be able to detect it with the naked eye and it's nowhere near the "twice as close" that you mentioned. Stupid auto correct got me...

Maybe it is in the flat-Earth fantasy land but in the real world it is only .006% closer at noon than it was at sunrise. The difference in apparent size would not be at all noticeable. A point I have already made, by the way! Why do you ignore half of what I say? Go take a tennis ball and...

Yes, I know. I was really just making conversation and clarifying the point for the peanut gallery. I made a similar comment in the comment section of a video one time and people reacted as if I had I suggested that Hitler was the Messiah or something.

You should always respond to posts in the order in which they were posted but whatever floats your boat. If you're thinking that the diagram seems backward, it's because you're thinking that g is the apparent size rather than the actual size. The apparent size all about the angle α. Basically...

No, it doesn't make sense. Perspective is perspective, David. It makes absolutely NO DIFFERENCE whether the distance is over land or over the sea or into the sky or down a well. Distance is distance and that is the only factor when discussing perspective. An object will appear twice as large if...

Yes it does, David Your eye is one point of a triangle and the actual diameter of the object is the base of that triangle. The distance between your eye and the object is a line the bisects that triangle into two right triangles. A little application of the Pythagorean Theorem and you can...

You can't because you're stupid. I have no such problem. I can refute it and did exactly that. You mean like when train track go up a hill, getting apparently narrower and narrower as they go up and away from you? Here's a pic of some people standing at the top of a hill. Notice how the...

Thank you for conceding the debate. Next topic.

Did that. You ignored every argument I made. Actually, it's utter stupidity. If it had anything at all to do with perspective, as I said in my last post, the Sun would simply get smaller and smaller as it passed into the distance. IT DOES NO SUCH THING. I will not watch your asinine videos...

I don't need a video. I've seen the sunset a thousand times with my own eyes. It goes over the horizon. It does not get ANY smaller as it sets because it is not getting any further away. If it were getting further away, it would never ever leave your view but simply shrink until it was a pin...

When you say stupid or foolish things I am going to point it out on the thread where you said it. If you don't like it, stop saying stupid and foolish things. The thread is all still here for everyone one to read, David. The only one not dealing with the arguments is you. Responding is not...

Not so. You do NOT know what you are talking about. Turn off the Discover Channel and TLC, neither of which is about science but rather selling an atheistic worldview and calling it science. Quantum Mechanics has pretty close to nothing at all to do with the macro universe. The idea that the...

Bull! You're the one who brought it up. You're the one who repeatedly ignored multiple people begging you to stop with the idiotic YouTube videos, you're the one who refuses to be convince by the simplest of reasoning that even a third grader can understand while giving weight the most colossal...

Did that! You remain unconvinced. THAT'S what makes me angry. Because "we" are taught too. It's the same reason why most Christians have/had Christian parents and why most Buddhists grew up with Buddhist parents. We believe what we're taught to believe. You cannot possibly be serious. This...

If you could make rational arguments in favor of a flat Earth then it would be different but you discredit yourself and everyone associated with Open Theism with this abject stupidity, which is why it makes me so angry! You have to drop this nonsense!

Train tracks disappear over the horizon too, David.
