looking at the stars?
By pointing at stars. Yes.
the two celestial poles is actually *extremely* compelling evidence for a globe earth.
They don’t change the shape of the earth beneath our feet because our understanding can’t comprehend their operation.
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.
It’s the shape of the celestial that’s different.
using a flat tool doesn't = the sky is flat.
the sky spins in two separate directions.
You mean the celestial.
The sky is underneath that.
yes, the celestial poles.
oops, yes, the stars, not the sky.
I’m telling you, the celestial movement is not a means that would change the shape of the earth beneath us.
why is that?
That would be like saying mirrors above us that reflect lights in different fashions changes the shape of a flat floor beneath our feet.
That’s silly.
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.
on one model, the movement of the stars is 100% supported and explained. On the other, it's a weird, bi-directional swirl.
according to the globe earth model, it is indeed 100% explained.
In theory. But when they can’t prove earth movement, that’s like missing concrete in the foundation of a house.
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.
That’s a 4 minute video.
Just look at it.
I'll check it out.
Some stars are reflected in water, but not others.
a reflection doesn't explain its movement, though.
it's the movement that's important.
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.
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.
This reasoning is pure speculation, though. on the globe earth, it's completely accounted for.
Either way, the globe model whether heliocentric or geocentric, is absolutely against what God of the Bible says.
If a person is purposely trying to ignore him, and superimpose man’s intelligence above his, it doesn’t matter what I say.
well, that's a different topic for sure. and Sungenis is devoutly Christian and he still believes it's a globe.
And he can’t cite any biblical sources that earth is a sphere of any kind.
Period.
yeah, I don't think there are any at all
