Eclipses

I know you must hear it over and over again but I've never heard an FEer give a valid explanation for Lunar or Solar eclipses

PLEASE EXPLAIN IT

Q: "What about Lunar Eclipses and Moon Phases?"

A: An undetectable celestial body, known as the antimoon, passes between the sun and moon. This projects a shadow upon the moon.
Have you learned nothing from when I sigg'ed you?

The FAQ, Read this.

If it is undetectable, surely it does not interfere with light and so cannot cause an eclipse.

You are misunderstanding the FAQ. You can not directly detect it, but you can indirectly do so when it projects a shadow upon the moon.

This makes absolutely no sense. Do you wish to say that it only affects light when it is between the Earth and the moon?

Also what shape is this object? At a half moon it would have to be a square larger than the moon to create a vertical shadow on the moon but at a crescent moon it would have to be circular and slightly smaller than the moon.

"Having one straight side" does not equate to "being a square". Also, I don't think it is plausible for the anti-moon to be responsible for lunar phases, only eclipses.
I'm going to side with the white supremacists.

then what causes phases of the moon. OK fine about the square thing but you still didnt explain the variations in shape.

If it was true that there was a huuge undetectable brick wall floating in the sky making lunar eclipses, then shouldnt we be seeing both the sun and the moon at the same time?

Oh no wait.. Moon is a huge cold light bulb... yeah.

Unfortunately for your argument I have and do regularly see the sun and moon during the day. I live in Washington state (NW USA) and this is a regular occurrence here.
But it is a case for the RE model since by the FE model you should never see the two at the same time except when they are at each horizon.
Your god was nailed to a cross. Mine carries a hammer...... any questions?

What evidence is there for an antimoon?
