Holes in RET - Post them FEers

If the Earth is round, how can a lunar eclipse occur in broad day light?

If the Earth is round, why does the Conspiracy harass everyone who tries to investigate it?

If the Earth is round, why was John Davis not allowed inland into Antarctica?

1. It doesn't. Ever. See my post in the "Antimoon" thread.

2. It doesn't, because it doesn't exist. Harassment may occur, but there is no evidence that it has anything to do with a Conspiracy any more than it's just people who think you are a weirdo.

3. Could be any number of reasons. Anyway, it makes more sense to have Antarctica at the hub and the North to be the rim around the edge because that explains the presence of manned polar bases, doesn't it? So in fact Davis was trying to visit the Hub not the Rim.

...it makes more sense to have Antarctica at the hub and the North to be the rim around the edge because that explains the presence of manned polar bases, doesn't it? So in fact Davis was trying to visit the Hub not the Rim.

I still have yet to hear an explanation from an FEer for why this is the case.  We could completely invert the map, having geographical south in the middle and north around the edge, and none of their arguments are altered.  The models are completely interchangeable.

Yes, in fact there are some merits to having South in the centre as there are permanent Antarctic bases but no permanent Arctic ones.
FE'ers just don't think things through I guess.
Just also like to make it clear that I don't believe either to be the case.

See ENaG for several other issues. 

Hard to filter out what is junk vs what isn't.
To me, it all seems like junk.

There are many small icy islands around the edge of the world. Antarctica is confusing.

Ah, but Antarctica isn't around the edge. It's at the hub, isn't it?

No, Antarctica is around the outside of the Earth. The centre of the Earth is called the Arctic.

No, Antarctica is around the outside of the Earth. The centre of the Earth is called the Arctic.

What makes you think that?  All the same FE arguments still apply perfectly with the antarctic in the center and the arctic around the edge.

No, Antarctica is around the outside of the Earth. The centre of the Earth is called the Arctic.

And your evidence of this would be what?

Well since this thread is "holes in RET" and not "FET that doesn't conform to RET" that's irrelevant.  In RET Antarctica is not around the outside of the Earth.

Exactly the same evidence which shows the Arctit to be the edge and the Antarctic to be the hub.
