You're a babbling lunatic! Why is it so hard for you to believe that a world full of evil people who go to war against God? The crucified Jesus BECAUSE He resurrected Lazarus! Good grief you guys are far more juvenile and naive than I would have ever expected! People who hate God are not...

The past half century? You mean like the T.V. shows "Star Trek" and "My Favorite Martian"? Is that about when the brain washing started? This is just conspiracy minded nonsense. I don't buy anything - ANYTHING - and MSNBC and I doubt every word uttered on CNN and I'm skeptical of much of what...

“When the model is recast to represent realistic distributions of uncertainty, we find a substantial ex ante [predicted] probability of there being no other intelligent life in our observable universe, and thus that there should be little surprise when we fail to detect any signs of it.” -...

:rotfl: So the stupidest people in the world are the smart ones?! :rotfl:

You are a fool, David.

That's an excellent post.

You want to know why you get attacked personally? It's because you're an ___! (fill in the blank) We discussed this eye level BS to death and established without any doubt whatsoever that the horizon is NOT always at your eye level. Even on a flat disc earth you'd eventually be high enough to...

It isn't a matter of belief! You make claims that are patently stupid and then when I can't take it any more you whine like a baby for calling you stupid! There is no way for ANYTHING to EVER be hidden behind the horizon on a flat Earth. The horizon, if you could even make it out, is simply...

NOTHING WOULD EVER BE HIDDEN BEHIND THE HORIZON ON A FLAT EARTH!!! You just cannot be this stupid! Just think it through! What would ever cause anything that was moving parallel to a flat Earth to be hidden by that same Earth? :dunce::duh:

:up:

We've been discussing perspective and thus the inference was clearly about distance, not how thick the atmosphere is. If you want to talk about the atmosphere then you're just talking about another obstruction and things, as I've said before, would simply fade into the distance and there would...

I have no idea what I did. :doh: I don't have the time to figure it out. Dave, forget the 25 ft. The point is that the difference is itsy bitsy and you wouldn't be able to detect it with the naked eye and it's nowhere near the "twice as close" that you mentioned. Stupid auto correct got me...

Maybe it is in the flat-Earth fantasy land but in the real world it is only .006% closer at noon than it was at sunrise. The difference in apparent size would not be at all noticeable. A point I have already made, by the way! Why do you ignore half of what I say? Go take a tennis ball and...

Yes, I know. I was really just making conversation and clarifying the point for the peanut gallery. I made a similar comment in the comment section of a video one time and people reacted as if I had I suggested that Hitler was the Messiah or something.

You should always respond to posts in the order in which they were posted but whatever floats your boat. If you're thinking that the diagram seems backward, it's because you're thinking that g is the apparent size rather than the actual size. The apparent size all about the angle α. Basically...

No, it doesn't make sense. Perspective is perspective, David. It makes absolutely NO DIFFERENCE whether the distance is over land or over the sea or into the sky or down a well. Distance is distance and that is the only factor when discussing perspective. An object will appear twice as large if...

Yes it does, David Your eye is one point of a triangle and the actual diameter of the object is the base of that triangle. The distance between your eye and the object is a line the bisects that triangle into two right triangles. A little application of the Pythagorean Theorem and you can...

You can't because you're stupid. I have no such problem. I can refute it and did exactly that. You mean like when train track go up a hill, getting apparently narrower and narrower as they go up and away from you? Here's a pic of some people standing at the top of a hill. Notice how the...

Thank you for conceding the debate. Next topic.

Did that. You ignored every argument I made. Actually, it's utter stupidity. If it had anything at all to do with perspective, as I said in my last post, the Sun would simply get smaller and smaller as it passed into the distance. IT DOES NO SUCH THING. I will not watch your asinine videos...
