FreakyKBH, answer me this about flat Earth:

Why, if Earth was flat, do you see something different in time lapse photography when you are on the poles, say the North pole and photograph the night sky and you see the stars making a big circle with the north star close to center and not moving around so much.

But on the equator, do the same and you have a completely different picture, the stars are all going in a straight line now around the equator.

Why would that happen if the Earth was still and the entire rest of the universe was spinning around Earth? If it was like that, the image would be pretty much the same no matter where you were on Earth.

Explain that one, I dare you.

There is no spinning that's the whole point Bozo.

Interesting. Then how do you explain the stars moving in a big circle through the night?

That's my point. The spinning stars look way different at the poles than the equator. Explain it.

Well, you managed to troll yet another thread.

What about a 3d chessboard?
