looking at the stars?

2019-05-30 23:36:18 UTC  

By pointing at stars. Yes.

2019-05-30 23:36:44 UTC  

the two celestial poles is actually *extremely* compelling evidence for a globe earth.

2019-05-30 23:36:45 UTC  

They don’t change the shape of the earth beneath our feet because our understanding can’t comprehend their operation.

2019-05-30 23:37:50 UTC  

the way the stars move is completely predicted by the globe earth model and... really bizarre on the flat earth model.

Stars have been predictable using a flat geocentric earth since forever.

2019-05-30 23:38:52 UTC  

It’s the shape of the celestial that’s different.

2019-05-30 23:39:00 UTC  

using a flat tool doesn't = the sky is flat.

2019-05-30 23:39:17 UTC  

the sky spins in two separate directions.

2019-05-30 23:39:57 UTC  

You mean the celestial.

2019-05-30 23:40:10 UTC  

The sky is underneath that.

2019-05-30 23:40:18 UTC  

yes, the celestial poles.

2019-05-30 23:41:30 UTC  

oops, yes, the stars, not the sky.

2019-05-30 23:42:06 UTC  

I’m telling you, the celestial movement is not a means that would change the shape of the earth beneath us.

2019-05-30 23:42:16 UTC  

why is that?

2019-05-30 23:42:48 UTC  

That would be like saying mirrors above us that reflect lights in different fashions changes the shape of a flat floor beneath our feet.

2019-05-30 23:42:53 UTC  

That’s silly.

2019-05-30 23:43:54 UTC  

if the earth were a globe, spinning in space, we would see the "apparent" movement of the stars above us. The stars themselves aren't moving, but it appears they are to us as we move with the earth. The movement of the stars is perfectly explained by the globe earth model - the two celestial poles are the axis of rotation represented in the sky.

2019-05-30 23:44:50 UTC  

It’s not perfectly explained when the earth isn’t moving in the first place.

2019-05-30 23:44:52 UTC  

on one model, the movement of the stars is 100% supported and explained. On the other, it's a weird, bi-directional swirl.

2019-05-30 23:45:10 UTC  

according to the globe earth model, it is indeed 100% explained.

2019-05-30 23:45:48 UTC  

In theory. But when they can’t prove earth movement, that’s like missing concrete in the foundation of a house.

2019-05-30 23:45:58 UTC  

The above gif I posted was a simulation I did in After Effects of a uniform sky and a spinning earth with the camera locked to it.

2019-05-30 23:46:13 UTC  

That’s a 4 minute video.

2019-05-30 23:46:19 UTC  

Just look at it.

2019-05-30 23:46:22 UTC  

I'll check it out.

2019-05-30 23:46:34 UTC  

Some stars are reflected in water, but not others.

2019-05-30 23:46:55 UTC  

a reflection doesn't explain its movement, though.

2019-05-30 23:47:03 UTC  

it's the movement that's important.

2019-05-30 23:47:52 UTC  

I gotta head home, the wife's texting me lol. I'll jump back on soon as I can. and I'll watch the vid.

2019-05-30 23:48:31 UTC  

It could explain that what we are seeing above us, is a series of circuits in a contained system of it’s own, where the shape of it can reflect it’s operation above, but not down here on earth.

2019-05-30 23:49:06 UTC  

This reasoning is pure speculation, though. on the globe earth, it's completely accounted for.

2019-05-30 23:49:26 UTC  

Either way, the globe model whether heliocentric or geocentric, is absolutely against what God of the Bible says.

2019-05-30 23:50:18 UTC  

If a person is purposely trying to ignore him, and superimpose man’s intelligence above his, it doesn’t matter what I say.

2019-05-30 23:50:20 UTC  

well, that's a different topic for sure. and Sungenis is devoutly Christian and he still believes it's a globe.

2019-05-30 23:50:37 UTC  

And he can’t cite any biblical sources that earth is a sphere of any kind.

2019-05-30 23:50:44 UTC  

Period.

2019-05-30 23:51:07 UTC  

yeah, I don't think there are any at all
