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.
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...
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...
