Flat Earth Theory / Re: Upcoming Solar Eclipse in USA

And as a side note.  Tom is claiming this "dark object" is the cause for a solar eclipse.  Absolutely nobody from FET has an explanation for the path the solar eclipse will take.  There is no logical reason using FET celestial movement that can explain why the sun will be in a total solar eclipse from Washington State all the way down to where I live in Nashville, TN in the weird parabolic curve that it will take.  That is unless the earth is round and the "parabolic" path shown on paper is much straighter when plotted on a round globe.

Well I think I have heard enough.  There is little evidence that the earth is flat.  FET makes some good cases where people would naturally question why the earth doesn't "seem" to curve, most notably the Bedford Level Experiment.  That being said the spherical thinkers out there have a reasonable explanation for the Bedford level Experiment (the same solution FET uses for why the sun appears to "dip" below the horizon) and FET has a very "magical" solution to eclipses.  "We can't see it and we can't prove anything about it, but trust us, it's there because its the only way to make our believe work" is no way to hold onto a belief.  I thought the earth was round, had a discussion with a FET person and at the end of it I had a lot of questions.  Round Earth answers more questions than FET does.

New to this idea, and I must say, I am still skeptical.  My question, as the subject line eludes to, is how does flat earth explain eclipses, both solar and lunar?  Something is obviously blocking the light during these times and in a clearly defined path that seems to support a round/spherical earth.  The upcoming August 21st eclipse shows an eclipse path that would be very erratic based on Flat Earth sun movements.  In addition to that question, how does one explain the moon phases? Every 28 days the moon goes through the phase of new moon to full and back to new.  Obviously nothing is blocking the moon during the full moon, but what about the other 25 days of the cycle (approximately)?
