It isn't purely subjective, Dave. They can indeed empirically measure a star's parallax by taking an image one day and then another 6 months later, using the size of the Earth's orbit to gain sufficient distances between the two observations to produce a measurable parallax. They can then...

Give me the gist of these videos, Dave. That one I just watch and responded to was a stupidity parade. Convince me that they are worth my time by giving me some idea of what the argument is.

You'd expect to see the circles made by stars in we are under a reflective glass dome. This explanation is only convincing to people who have no ability to think. He refutes the arguments moments after making it. The circles you'd see inside a spherical mirror are ALWAYS THERE!!! You wouldn't...

One point I want to make about "ad populum" arguments. I've made no such arguments. And Ad Populum argument is one where one attempts to establish a truth claim by appealing to its popularity. "Millions of people can't all be wrong." is the shorthand version of the argument. That is not at...

There actually is a star at the south celestial pole, it's just not a bright star like Polaris. But whether there is a star in that particular location is irrelevant. The fact that there is a south celestial pole at all is what destroys the flat Earth model. If the Earth is a flat disk, people...

Oh. Well, that's different. I don't know of any off the top of my head aside from the Coriolis Effect and all the related phenomena. That doesn't mean there aren't any but only that I'm still new to the defense of the globe earth model so I've never needed to collect the arguments before. I...

No. I will not get dragged into a debate about whether the conservation of momentum is a proven fact of science. If you don't believe that then you're hopeless and you're basing your worldview on blind beleifism. You might as well go join the Branch Davidians. It has nothing whatseover to do...

Well, okay but the conservation of momentum is only one of the most tested and thoroughly proven concepts in all of science, so no pressure trying to disprove it or anything. There are lots of reasons, not the least of which is that God hides Himself. (Isiah 45:15) Not only that but because...

This is only true if you accept that the universe wasn't created and even then it's only an intuition. There are all kinds of things in nature that are contrary to what we might expect. This is why a hypothesis must be tested. Why is that funny? I mean I understand what you mean, I just don't...

Dave, I really cannot tell whether you are just being intentionally obtuse in an attempt to convey the arguments made by mindless flat-earthers or what. Nothing you've said here has anything to do with explaining why the Coriolis Effect implies a contradiction with the notion that the atmosphere...

This is a claim, not an argument. In what way would the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the spinning of the Earth, contradict the idea that the atmosphere is moving with the Earth? There would be a Coriolis Effect even if there were no atmosphere at all. It's the conservation of angular...

All the arguments listed below are paraphrases of the arguments made in the above video. Argument 1: The Earth cannot be spinning on its axis or orbiting the Sun because we don't feel any movement and because the atmosphere doesn't come flying off the planet. We don't "feel" the movement...

I get that, which is why I still want to participate. I admit that I sometimes let it stray from my mind but I do get it. Okay, fine but in a real trial, I'd at least be able to look over at the jury box to get a feel for how they're reacting to the case being presented. Can you just try to...

"If Dave is flying at 800km/h how come he can only see his movement. If the land is moving at double his speed, why can't he see it?" Because motion is always relative to a frame of reference. His 800 km/h flight speed is relative to the ground. In a larger frame of reference, his 800 km/h...

I've not only watched them but I've made arguments that directly refute them with both words and videos that YOU HAVE NOT REFUTED - period. You've barely responded to them at all and when you have it has been to either restate your position or post yet another video that makes similar, if not...

Except that he doesn't actually decieve the whole world. It's a figure of speach. Hyperbole. Just as "all of Israel" wasn't baptized by Jesus, Satan hasn't and never will "decieve the whole world". This makes no sense. Being willingly ignorant is one thing, being decieved is quite another. One...

Not even Satan deceives people for no reason, Dave. Further, Satan is not a magician. He cannot maintain such a colossal, omni-national, multigeneration conspiracy. How do you know this? You think Satan is the one who came up with the theory of evolution? Or are you just giving Satan...

That doesn't speak to a motive that thousands upon thousands of people across hundreds of nations, many of whom are enemies of each other and all of whom must have some motive sufficient to cause them to spend billions upon billions of dollars faking evidence, bribing and extorting and doing...

Add another several dozen people (chase plane pilots) who have to be in on the deception. There's no conceivable motive.

They follow it until its wheels hit the ground and then they land at the same airport (i.e. Air Force Base).
