I think I can adapt KristaGirl's argument so that it is aimed towards the FEers and their model. If the Earth is a disc with the North Pole at the center and the sun as a "spotlight" above the equator, the area lit up should appear from space like a wedge of a circle. By FEers own standards, this does not work. Why is the range of light along the lines of longitude larger than along the lines of latitude? And if the Sun is at the equator, why does its range increase as the light moves South, but decrease as it move North?
Exactly.
The more I get into this, the more awesome it becomes. We're supposed to throw away 2,000 years of the most basic, conventional Earth Science for non-proven things like Flat Earth Math, Bendy Light, Sky Gears, Universal Accelerators and Moon Shrimp? I wanna have a conversation about this in person with a FE'er. I don't believe they can say "Sky Gears" and "Moon Shrimp" without laughing. I certainly can't read it without laughing.
And like, whenever we explain how FET doesn't work, and they come up with something that sounds totally out of their asses like "sky gears," does this not sound like an Alcoholic looking for any old reason to excuse his alcoholism? I mean, I hear FE'ers say, "All of this has been explained." Then, when you look back at the explanations, they contain stupid crap like "Sky Gears." Sky Gears??? What the hell are sky gears??? Just... don't you have a Candy Land game to get back to? Isn't Spongebob about to come on or something? Sky Gears... get outa here...
RE'er: The world can't be flat because [insert scientific explanation]
FE'er: Yeah, well... that can be explained by magical Leprechauns in space who fly on giant space-possums!!!, and the government and NASA are in cahoots with them to brainwash you!!! You can't prove I'm wrong!!!
