Because that image, which is based on the globe earth model, is not to scale, if it were, you would only be able to see the sun, and the earth would just be a tiny speck that's really far away from it. You could not be able to see the moon. You could search online for making a scale model of...

I watched them about a week or so ago. Ah the memories... (though I saw them several years after they came out)

Also, that moon one was made in 1989. And it's still of comparable quality to today's movies lol

If you have Amazon Prime you can watch those old videos on Prime Video

Was asking Dave.

Is it round like a plate is round (ie a disk)? Or round like a globe is round (ie a sphere)?

AMR, I fully believe the account of the sun standing still in the Bible recorded in Joshua 10 happened. I also fully believe (arguing philosophically here) that the earth is the center of God's attention, and even that the earth is very close the the center of all of space (kgov.com/axis), but...

And there's nothing in Joshua 10 to indicate that what I said is NOT what happened. My argument comes from logic and physics. The problem (and again, speaking just from within from the assumption that the earth IS round) with the idea that the earth is absolutely stationary is that, if true...

Using an opponent's evidence against him is usually the best way to defeat him.

I tried asking Dave about that a while back, because I don't think he understands just HOW BIG the earth is. DFT_Dave, Question for you: Why is it that every time someone posts a video from a camera that gets to a very high altitude, the distance from the camera to the horizon the same in 360...

You are once again presenting a false dichotomy. You're saying that either the Bible is right and affirms your views of a flat earth and does not affirm my views of a round earth, or it's completely wrong, when you should be recognizing that it is possible that you are wrong and the Bible is...

Something else I'd like to point out. Assuming that the earth is round and the heliocentric model is correct, for a moment, which seems more plausible: The earth stopping it's rotation, giving the appearance that the sun halted it's movement across our sky? Or having the sun stop moving...

I'd like to point out that even normal people (people who believe in a round earth) say the sun rises in the east in the morning and sets in the west each night. Yet we still believe it's not the sun that's literally rising over the earth, but that that's just what it looks like from our...

It means you can't refute the round earth with an inaccurate model of it.

Dave, relative to the earth, everything is moving. Relative to an observer outside of Earth, the earth is moving. Also, no one has claimed that the moon and sun aren't moving. So... Straw man much? As for the earth not moving, you're on the earth, there's no possible way you could tell unless...

The helio centric model (globe earth orbiting the sun) also has the moon rotating once every ~27 days and the Sun rotating differentially (meaning one region spins faster than another), with a sunspot at the sun's equator rotating once every 24.47 days, but the amount of time it takes increases...

That works both ways Dave.

Dave, this point right here is where you start to muddy the waters. Regardless of evolution being true or not (and I'm on the side that says evolution does NOT happen), the earth is either flat or the earth is round. Stop making a "false dilemma" statement, saying "the earth was created flat...
