I don't believe I have ever attacked anyone's character without being provoked first, if you can show where I have I will apologize, but that seems to be the preferred method for some globers, if you don't see things their way they attempt to marginalize you.
You attack and denigrate everyone in NASA and all other space agencies by calling them all liars and deceivers. They are all people who cannot defend themselves.
I have a deep distrust of the so called proofs offered by modern day mainstream science which promotes such nonsense as evolution as scientific fact, everything they say is suspect and they lie all the time in my opinion, any good lie requires the appearance of truth. I am about ready to stop posting on this forum because I realize that we hold to fundamentally different paradigms, there is just no common ground, so to speak.
So you distrust
modern science. Well you'll be pleased to know that the shape of the earth was accepted as a globe long long ago, not only in the western world from a few centuries BC, but also in the Islamic World from its very beginning, read a bit it about in
WikiIslam, Flat Earth and the Qur'an.
Some very old scientists, astromoners, and inventors certainly taught that the earth was a Globe.
Go and look up what "The Venerable Bede" said about the shape of the earth "For truly it is an orb placed in the centre of the universe; in its width it is like a circle, and not circular like a shield but rather like a ball." From
Creation.com, The flat earth myth.
Look up Al-Biruni, an Islamic Scholar who quite accurately measured the radius of the earth around 1,000 AD, and not using Eratosthenes method ether.
Then along with numerous old scholars Leonardo da Vinci certainly accepted that the earth was a globe. He would hardly have studied projections of the globe and produced one called the Leonardo da Vinci Map, had he not seen that the earth was a Globe.
No, modern scientists, NASA and the other Space Agencies had nothing whatever to do with deciding that the earth is a Globe.
What do you think all the astronomers, amateur and professional have been looking at for many centuries?. Astronomical observations are quite meaningless on a flat earth.
As for the photography, why does everything require a complicated answer, why don't they just take the picture from the same angle and distance?
For the simple reason that you
cannot take a single photograph of a whole hemisphere from closer than about 20,000 miles. Even at that distance the photograph does not contain all of that one hemisphere. I have tired and tried to explain this to you, but somehow I have failed.
Until there were satellites or spacecraft at that altitude with cameras that could take high quality photographs, the
only high quality photos were composites.
There were some of low quality from early geosynchronous satellites and from the moon missions, but nothing of high quality.
I saw a video interview with the guy who did at least one of the globe Earth photos and he admits that it was a photo shopped composite, he actually said it had to be,
No he didn't admit "that it was a photo shopped composite". He and
NASA stated that it was a composite because "it had to be" for reasons I gave above.
You might care to read
NASA, The Blue Marble, Data Date: February 8, 2002, Visualization Date: February 8, 2002, Sensor(s): Terra - MODIS.
well why does it have to be if they have all those satellites up there,
I believe I have explained that, but since there have been numerous geostationary satellites for some years there are now more (almost) complete photographs of whole hemispheres than you can poke a stick at.
But you do have look for these photographs, you and other flat earth's would hardly look up NASA, Japan Meteorological Agency etc looking, but they are there. Take your blinkers off and see what is out there.
there just seems to be a lot of prevarication going on, if you want to believe it then that's your choice but I don't believe I owe you or NASA an apology.
Really, "prevarication going on" in your mind, maybe.
You will undoubtedly disagree, but I stand by all I said for the above reasons, and most while your pride will never let you apologise, you certainly should stop denigrating honest people.
Look, NASA is not there to try to convince you and other flat earth's that the earth is really a Globe. That was settled long, long before NASA was dreamed of.
