It's not a proof to your theory ! It's just a compilation of your beliefs backed by no proof whatsoever.
What makes you think the sun is closer to earth than the rest of the scientific community ? What makes you think it is just 32 miles across ? what makes you think the ice wall exists ? what makes you think it is only 150 feet tall ?
Where are the measurements to back your claims ?
Where is the experimental data to prove any and everything you claim in your FAQ ? Where are the sources that point to these conclusions ?
Atleast the scientific community gives data and proofs to back their claims. You don't. And yet you claim you are correct. How is that so ?
It's just like when someone says "God created this world".
ME : Well how do you know ?
It's written in the Bible.
Pff..yeah right.

Why? Because, we don't want you people looking like total fools; we want it to be a challenge.
Plus, it's good practice to get to know your opponent in a debate.
And, we're tired of answering the same questions over and over. That's kinda why we made a thread called "Frequently Asked Questions" ...

We encourage people to read the FAQ and to SEARCH for a topic they may be interested in, because that's the best way to understand the theory. Instead of making 6 topics about stuff that we've already answered, you may see the answer in therse resources!
Every day we have at least 10 new people come in and demand proofs and answers to questions (like eclipses, horizons and gravity). As you can imagine, answering the same questions daily gets quite tedious.

I'm not talking about the posts where people are ignorant of your beliefs.
When you say, "if you refer to the FAQ, it is mentioned that the sun is 32 miles across..."
that's when I object. That FAQ is not a scientific evidence to back your claim. It is just a list of your beliefs. If I read the FAQ I will get the answer. But where is the supporting data to back your claim ?

Nobody refers to the FAQ as a source of proofs - simply a source of information. You'll find that if you have a good understanding of what the FAQ says when you make your posts, you won't be referred there.

Is it information, or is it your beliefs ? there is no proof given in the FAQ to back the "information"

..... It's information ON our beliefs..... Nobody has ever claimed the FAQ is definitive proof. I'm not sure what more you expect from a thread named "Frequently Asked Questions"..... Perhaps if it has called "Frequently Proven Points of FE" you may have some cause for complaint.
