I think we should have another option as well as the Thanks button called the LOL button.

I have asked him to explain this fact according to the flat earth model and he continues to avoid answering. I will continue to put it in his face until he does. This time he tried to answer it with the 'refraction' answer which is not applicable and he knows it.

The sun moves below the horizon in exactly the same time as it takes for it to move it's own arc diameter anywhere else in the sky.

Is it just me or is this thread a little flat lately?

As a non-futurist I wonder about the various explanations for various end-time scenarios. This post is meant only to educate me concerning some of the proposed details of the millennium. So here is the question: (please excuse my ignorance) If the elect are raptured out of the world and those...

That is exactly the observable fact. Correct. This is a related but separate arguement that is also true but I don't think is as convincing as the first. It is for me, but flat-earthers will talk about the sun appearing different sizes throughout the day. Their arguments about this are not...

There are many so-called proofs that are never accepted by flat-earthers because there are objections that they think are reasonable to each of them. But this one has no objection that even they can be comfortable with. The sun moves, in our sky, it's own arc diameter at precisely the same...

If any flat-earther chooses to know the truth for themselves by way of irrefutable proof, please request it and I will provide here in this thread. There is a simple undeniable proof that the earth is a globe, spins on it's axis and orbits the sun. The problem is that flat-earthers do not want...

Ready to consider my infallible proof yet?

Okay...so Knight has asked for new topics - juicy ones. Well, this one is not really new exactly. But perhaps juicy in that there is a lot of disagreement. What exactly is the Doctrine of Inspiration to you? Do you believe the Bible is inspired? If so, what is the exact meaning and outworking...

Based on this and other short-sighted answers, I have come to the conclusion that you are not interested in listening to reason or science. I have no idea why. A globe earth does no violence to the scriptures. The only conclusion I can come up with is that you enjoy being contrary. That being...

The question, indeed, is "What is a mirage?". All mirages are the result of different types of refraction. But not all refractions result in a mirage. We do not talk about a rainbow as a mirage; yet it is a refraction of photons prismatically, as is the apparent bending of a straw in a glass of...

What I am trying to get you to see is that only the upside down image is the superior mirage. The right-side-up image of the skyline is the actual skyline. The actual skyline is visible because of atmospheric refraction. Same idea as placing a mirror so you can see around a corner. Then that...

Here it is: The sun moves below the horizon in exactly the same time as it takes for it to move it's own arc diameter anywhere else in the sky.

Although interesting, this is more information than required to tell us why the Chicago skyline can be seen in the picture you provided from Michigan or Indiana, or wherever it was. The skyline is below the horizon due to the earth's curvature. How then can it be seen? The answer is...

It's an atmospheric refraction caused by temperature variations in the atmosphere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_refraction

One more thing. The presentation of the coin on the table is completely wrong for two reasons. 1. The camera angle is slightly below the table surface level. Of course the coin will disappear. If the camera angle was exactly equal to the table surface, the coin would always be visible. 2...

If the earth was flat, the view of a disappearing/appearing sun from above the clouds would be different than the view at the ground. This is not what the video shows. Above the clouds the sun would dwindle in size and intensity but never completely disappear; and then increase in size to be...
