Maybe one of the few women on here will have more balls than you and actually research what it in the hell is going on.

Final question: during a lunar eclipse, the shadow cast on the moon by the earth is round. How do you explain this?

Freaky, it seems you still haven't even attempted to answer this question.

You are correct.

Address the OP and we can move forward.

In other words, you play the game according to YOUR rules and nobody else gets an answer even though we HAVE answered them, you just pronounce them non-answers and then I am not going to answer your questions till you answer mine, meaning: Till you agree with me you can go piss in a bucket.

Like I said, you prove our point. We don't agree with you, ANY answer we give is BS to you and your puppet masters. That's the bottom line. I already told you what would be a more rigorous analysis with big placards but that is ignored, a non answer.

BTW the OP says SONHOUSE I WAS WRONG. So that is what we will go with. You actually admit you were wrong. A step in the right direction.

OOOH, wait, you mean that was sarcasm? Wow, didn't see that part.

Gee, I don't remember the comeback to this one, wherein my wild-eyed conspiracy theories became so out of control, I was actually claiming things which could not be supported with evidence, because, well, you know: nut job.

What was it that you were saying, Suzianne, about not finding me believable?

Apparently, you're the only one on here who doesn't "know what the hell is going on".

That would make you the only one who needs to research it.

Too bad that you choose crappy sources to learn from.

Ok, great, so even smart people sometimes say stupid things, fine.

He's also an atheist, so....

But to his defense, he does say the earth is oblate, which is correct. He also says the southern hemisphere is slightly wider around than the northern hemisphere which is also correct. This doesn't equate to being "pear-shaped". Not in the slightest. If a pear was shaped exactly like the earth, you would never notice the "wider on the bottom" bit, the difference is minuscule. In this case, I'd say that "pear-shaped" is hyperbole. It's actually nothing like a pear. He introduces the "pear-shaped" analogy to illustrate the "wider on the bottom" concept, but I'm sure even he knows that "pear-shaped" is really, really stretching his point. Frankly, calling it "pear-shaped" is ridiculous and irresponsible. But having stepped into Carl Sagan's shoes, his job is apparently to distill science into chunks that the hoi polloi can understand. "Pear-shaped" fits that bill, but it is in no way scientifically accurate.
