Your last sentence is a false dichotomy. The Suns rays meet wether the sun is 3,000 or 93,000,000 Miles away. The main difference is that at 93,000,000 miles the angle between the rays is essentially 0

When folks start with a globe model and do all their science and math and apply the three dozen theories required to make it all work, then of course it's "unassailable" - And big words prove a globe even more.
Everything in that image HAS BEEN PROVEN TO BE NONSENSE in both this thread and the original FE thread.
"Proof by assertion," also known as "proof by repeated assertion," is a logical fallacy, Dave. It's where something is repeatedly stated regardless of contradiction.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_by_assertion
It's one of the most commonly used fallacies by flat earth conspiracists. Repeat the argument so often and then when the rebuttals stop because of the ridiculousness of the idea, claim victory for FE because it's not being contradicted.
Dave, Stop it. Now.
Stop hiding behind images, videos, and conspiracy theories, and start showing your work (yes, you need to get your hands dirty) which shows that the commonly accepted positions are incorrect.
Yes, they are.
There are several other reason we can know that railroad tracks are parallel, not the least of which is that they wouldn't work if they weren't and trains would be crashing all over the place.
We don't have to have first person, visual confirmation of every fact before we decide to accept it as such.
They are very nearly exactly parallel, David. So much so that there is no instrument made by man with sufficient precision to measure the difference in the angle from one end of the Earth to the other.
In other words, the edge of the Sun (it's easier to measure from the edge) is at precisely the same angle from the meridian or from the celestial pole from anywhere on Earth. The only way that can happen is if the lines are parallel (see any 7th grade geometry text book).
Since the Sun's rays do indeed all come from the Sun, and since the Sun is not a single point source of light, it is technically true that the rays are not perfectly parallel but the fact that they are so extremely close to being parallel here at the Earth is one of several ways that we know for a fact that the Sun is very very far away.
No, David. The equinoxes, among other things, PROVE that you are wrong. It isn't just a good argument. IT IS PROOF. If the Sun were not very far away, what is observed by every living thing on Earth, twice a year could not happen. Ditto, if the Earth were flat.
Oh yes I can! I have done precisely that!
Not only that but I've watched you idiotic videos until I want to vomit and have responded over and over again to the asinine stupidity contained therein and you ignore everything I say.
What possible motive would I have for wasting one more second watch that ridiculous nonsense?
Yes, you are!
YES! YOU ARE!
Not every theory that someone posts on the internet is worthy of your consideration, David. Even if one or two videos piqued your interest, what I and other's here is a million times more than anyone with a working mind would have needed to be persuaded.
I'm not kidding when I say you've beclowned yourself with this stupidity. You really ought to be ashamed of yourself. You've brought dishonor to yourself, you've destroyed your own reputation and, if you bring any of this crap up in the context of Christianity, you'll be an embarrassment to the entire religion. It's that bad, David.
Looking into it and debating it as an intellectual exercise for the purposes of education and fun is one thing. That's what you claimed and what I believe you to be doing at the beginning. That was a lie. You don't believe lying is a sin? I do!
What sort of ridiculous muddled thinking is this?
I've already told you and I shouldn't even need to tell you that answering every question and rebutting every argument is NOT necessary. It isn't necessary in ANY debate on ANY topic.
Any argument that makes a position logically impossible answers all rebuttals by implication! Something that is false cannot be rightly argued in favor of.
And besides all that, you don't respond to ANY argument! Nothing moves you an inch! The closest you come to ever responding at all is to post yet another of a seemingly endless stream of youtube videos and/or to repeat the already rebutted arguments.
That line worked months ago when this topic first came up. My instinct then was to ignore it and to not give it the dignity if real debate. I should have heeded them. The fruit of this debate has been to do nothing in terms of convincing you of anything and the destruction of your reputation, which you seem to care nothing about.
Yeah, right. Sure you don't.
On what possible basis could you reject a word of it? You've taken complete leave of all that resembles rational thought in that you refuse to permit reason to persuade you and have bought into impossible conspiracy theories. What could there possibly be that would be so outlandish as to warrant your rejection?

Good morning Patric. I am still waiting for you to tell me what you think density is and what a small amount of gravity is.
You really want to try this again. Read Right Divider's post. There really is no leg for you to stand on with this assertion of yours as it is so easily proven wrong.
I told you how to use the Goog feature and actually it's irrelevant.
Well, no, it is not. Density is physical property of matter. It is defined as unit mass per unit volume (such as kg/m^3 - kilograms per cubic meter.) . So take a piece of steel that is 3 feet long. Cut it into a 1ft piece and and a 2ft piece. Since both pieces came from the same piece of steel they have identical densities -8,050 kg/m3 . The 2 foot piece weighs twice as much as the 1 foot piece which makes sense. The question to you is: Can you explain why two pieces of steel with identical densities have such very different weights?

It's a NASA hoax... they're in cahoots with all the scale makers.
[MENTION=4980]DFT_Dave[/MENTION] and @Patric Jane, I'm wondering what your thoughts are about this?
How could this possibly be a NASA hoax? Density was defined long before NASA was formed. Archimedes, who lived 287 – 212 BC is the one who first identified the principle.
Does it ever bother you that you cannot answer a single question with a simple and direct answer?
Density is only one factor, weight is the determining factor in magical gravity. You do know that the equations Newton showed for gravity were only LIKE gravity, right? A top Vatican physicist and cosmologist just recently said the a 25 year old book on gravity is obsolete today. I don't trust nasa one iota. Be careful of how old your gravity data is. It's a 500 page theory still sir.
You guys need help !!!
Pretty sure that was sarcasm...

I'm sorry that you cannot see that this was a joke. I'll make sure to put lots of smilies next time. :banana::cigar:
