Question Straight From the FAQ
« on: March 06, 2007, 12:33:27 PM »
"Q: If the moon is a spotlight, why can I see a "man" in the moon (shadows cast by the sun on the hills and mountains on it) last I checked a light can't contain shadows."

Has this been answered yet?

It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets

that is actually a good point. i never thought about that part of the FAQ until now, nor did I really care. I imagine an FE'er would say its some kind of illusion or something like that, or would tell you to read The Earth not a globe book. Those 2 are the most common responses for anything on here... anyways, if the moon were a spotlight of some sort, we would not see shadows and such from craters from the moon, it would be just a simple circle in the sky filled with light wouldnt it?

There are two debated theories among the FE people, which is that the moon is not a spotlight and the other that states it is. So the theory that the moon is a spotlight is implausible.

When th moon and sun are described as spotlights, the author is describing the effects of its light on the earth. That is, the light from the sun and moon only reaches a limited circular area on the earth. This is why we cannot see the sun at night.

The man you see on the moon is God. The spotlight reflects off of the mirrors at a bad angle, ruining God's invisibility trick.

I was jsut about to say that actually. 

I would also like to add that he lives on the moon so he can watch you at night and make sure you dont masturbate.

This is such a good point that I thought I'd give it a bump back to life, to see if that good ol' Tom Bishop fellow can actually give a reply, rather than writing something unrelated to try and shut us up.
