All the arguments listed below are paraphrases of the arguments made in the above video.
Arguments 2: The paths that the stars make in the sky would not be circular around the Polaris if the Earth was moving 67 times faster around the Sun than it is spinning on its axis.
For one thing, this argument is question begging. It presupposes that the stars are close by. In other words, it presupposes the flat-earth model in order to make an argument in support of the flat-earth model. That's textbook question begging.
Additionally, the argument conflates the apparent change in position of objects to do parallax with the change due to looking in a different direction. As the Earth spins on its axis, the field of view changes because we are looking in a different direction, not because our position relative to the stars has changed (significantly).
An appropriate question to ask would be, if we are moving in our orbit and 67,000 mph, why can't we see that movement in the relative position of the stars?
But she (the lady in the video) didn't ask that question. You know why she didn't ask that question? Because it would have been a rational question to ask which means there's an answer to it that she wouldn't like. Here's the answer.
WE CAN! The parallax observed in many of the stars that are closest to us is sufficient for modern equipment to measure and it has in fact been measured. A feat that is fundamentally (i.e. conceptually) impossible on a stationary Earth.

One would think that the axis of a rotating planet in an elliptical orbit around the sun would be straight up and down and not be tilted in relation to the sun. Funny how this tilt just happens to keep the north star over the north pole.
The argument that the circular movement of the stars around the "fixed" north star is evidence of a flat earth is in contrast to a moving earth rotating around the sun in which such a circling of stars could not be possible.
This is a contrast of two models in which only flat earth can be possibly true. This argument assumes the stars to be where each model places it and is there fore not an argument that assumes close stars for each model.
Tilted axis :kookoo:
