Gonna say, I didn't expect anything better. Jimmy, for example, doesn't seem to understand the relationship between cause and effect: the round Earth model doesn't predict phases of the moon, there was no hermit hanging around in a cave who decided a rock must be going around the Earth and then wrote down its phases, the moon and its phases were observed, and a theory designed to explain that after the event. Pathetic.
Craters are texture, what's your point? Gaps of illumination. They illuminate in a rhythm, clearly: some are made to be slower. Irregularity such as this is observed in the animal kingdom, to throw of predators.
Why then are Lunar Eclipses predictable? Here is a chart of eclipses until 2099;

Are you saying these are not predictions?
Feeling like you can't really think at all. Why wouldn't they be predictable?
Um, because you said the RE model doesn't predict phases of the Moon.
Of all the stupid arguments I've heard, that's got to be the worst. Did you even bother to read the next sentence before you added your drivel to this page? Prediction requires making a statement before observation. So, unless you're saying round Earth theory was invented by moles (which would explain a fair bit admittedly), it did not predict the phases of the moon, it was developed in part as an explanation after the fact.
Or are you honestly so stupid you don't understand what 'predict' means?
So... in order to predict eclipses with certainty years into the future (you never argued against this) the interactions of the Sun, Earth, Moon, system must be pretty well understood in RE.
Isn't the gold standard of defending a theory to predict the outcome of an event, wait for that event to occur, and see if the prediction matches the result? Observing past predictions of eclipses (lunar, solar, not to mention planetary transits, etc) and their outcome, they seem pretty spot on. Would that not be very strong evidence that the RE system is very well understood?
Or are Lunar eclipses the result of the luminous creatures having a bad day.
