Ok, so assuming the earth is flat, how do time zones come into play? the reason for time zones on a round earth, is so the days are shorter in winter and longer in the summer (or reversed). this is because in the summer seasons, the round* earth (northern hemisphere -- which is another thing you FE people must not believe in. ) is closer to the sun, and the southern hemisphere is farther away.
On to hemispheres. I was recently in Chile, which is in the same time zone as Atlanta (where I live). at this exact moment it is COLD (mid 30s to 40s farenheit). In atlanta where I am now, it is almsot 90 degrees farenheit. According to you FE peeps, because the sun is 3000 miles away, then most ofthe earth must be about the same temp. which its not.
thanks for your replies
