@Romans34 - Another correction. My 6th paragraph should be "wouldn't notice", not "would notice". "And another correction is "Not sure what you mean by "gyrating around the sun". I'm trying to take your question seriously. If you mean precession, that's a 26K year cycle, so obviously we...

@Romans34 - a quick correction to my prior post above (#776) - for my third paragraph. Correction in bold. I wrote our galaxy, when I should have written our solar system. I was talking about the diameter distance of the circumference of earth's "orbit around the sun". In other words the...

From your fixed location (and for many centuries), Polaris would not appear to change its place in the sky. It's less than 1 degree from being earth's north celestial pole (NCP); or in other words, it's at the pole point of our spinning sphere. Polaris wasn't always the "north star". (This is...

Thank you for asking the questions. I will answer your questions, but in this post (to keep them shorter) I just wanted to get to a larger issue first. I've been researching the issue for some time, especially Genesis 'waters above' issue and general cosmology. Many ancient scholars and...

Scripture does not say the earth is flat. You said so yourself. On this issue God's creation speaks for itself. Just as you said it should. But you're forcing YOUR preconceptions onto scripture. And you're refusing look at God's creation on this issue. A spherical earth is not in disharmony...

I agree with you a 100% on both statements. See, we do have common ground. That's why I'm asking you to let God's creation speak for itself, just as you said. Observe God's creation, the stars, before you come to a conclusion on the issue, of course! Because we both know the Bible doesn't say...

@Romans34 I asked you what the best passages/verses that say the Earth is flat, and you wrote The new verse there being Matthew 24:29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the...

My condolences, Hap.

OK, I see what you're doing. You're using a circle measurement. I would have just taken the circumference of the earth at the equator (24,901.5 miles) and divided that by two: 12,450.8 miles. I was confused by the way you wrote it in #363, as I assumed you meant the diameter was 24,901.5 (I...

You wrote, "Modern cameras can take pictures of most any object at a distance of 2.8 times the diameter of the object." I keep asking you how you know modern cameras can do this? What a camera can do is based on the camera's specifications. What do you know about modern camera's...

So you're eye-balling it? Making a guestimation? Not measuring. And you get 2.8?

Yes, that is correct. That's cool. But where did you get the calculation of 2.8 when you said, "cameras can take pictures of most any object at a distance of 2.8 times the diameter of the object."? Did you do some measurements with a tape measure with your camera distance and the object...

Sorry, Rom, that's my typo. As the website notes, the DSCOVR satellite is 901,613 miles from earth (not 93,606,069 miles). You wrote, "Modern cameras can take pictures of most any object at a distance of 2.8 times the diameter of the object." I meant what's your source that "Modern cameras can...

"Modern cameras can take pictures of most any object at a distance of 2.8 times the diameter of the object." What's your source for this information? Have a link? The cost of building and placing a satellite in orbit is about $200 million. There is no financial nor military purpose in an...

Sorry, NT, I was just asking GaryA the question. But I @'d you to include you, cause I figure you'd want to know why Gary doesn't think satellites can be in orbit.

@GaryA @NightTwister OK, can you please do one thing then? Can you tell us WHY you think/say there are no satellites? I can post, "I just came back from Illinois." And you reply, "There is no Illinois." Okay... why do you say there's no Illinois? At the very least, can you tell us why...

It never asked me a question, Gary. Gary, why is it you believe that satellites can't exist? Is it they'd hit the hard dome or something?

So, @GaryA... why is it you believe that satellites can't exist? Is it they'd hit the hard dome or something?

Ah, yes, the "Say Goodbye to Dating", I remember that. Actually, (in my prior post) I wasn't referencing any event or social trend in 2000. I was just being snarky about my own experiences. There's was plenty of amorous, but not real attachment. I always wanted to fall in love and be married, I...

No, I am not concerned about that; like I'm not concerned about being attacked by a polar bear. :sneaky: If I was reporting back to civilization, I would document that around 2000 all women were infected with a disease that prevent amorous attachment. For utilitarian purposes they mimic...
