BT you got a point!
BT has no point by any stretch, and I cannot understand how you are so easily taken in by him unless it is the sheer strength of his bluster, of which there is no short supply.
In the above he has done a full circle, defended the Round Earth position, and cried victory. It is just that nonsensical and absurd. See below:
On a flat earth yes. The sun will shoot overhead faster, its closer as we observe.
...which is contrary to the observed steady 15 degrees per hour, as we keep reminding you.
The sun is always 93 million miles away. You can't claim a slant angle. to you the sun is 93 million miles away when its overhead, and 93 million miles away at sunset. Travelling in a perfect circle. At a uniform pace. 15 degrees per hour. Every hour.
Exactly! Glad to have you see the light!
Imagine your road is a perfect circle around you 100 metres away. Now, does the car speed up when you look at 80 degrees or 20 or 170? Nope, it keeps laping exactly the same pace.
Exactly! As observed for thousands of years. Maybe you really do understand!
I just gave you all enough rope to hang yourselves.
Sure. If the sun did not really apparently march across the sky at 15 degrees per hour, we would be in doubt. But since it does, your
sun animation cannot work.
At least it appears we all agree on one thing: FE and RE stand or fall on whether the sun marches at 15 degrees per hour. Maybe we should proceed to agree on an experiment. I like the JocelynSachs experiment.
