And then they came for my spoon...:Plain:

Okay, that one happened....hilariously. I think it might have been below the horizon though, so it doesn't count.

There was no Darren #2. That was just an enormous conspiracy cooked up by the networks to...to...to...

:eek: Yeah...reminds me of why I coined the term craptastic.

He's right. If you don't believe him just visit my home page. :eek:

The principle problem with Dave's approach is part of the record. He's operating from a rationally indefensible position, a premise so flawed, so contrary to reason or even common sense that he will not approach it+-. In short, his arguments cannot survive without believing in a world wide and...

So, confronted with science your go to move was that followed by: And the king was tipped. Chess. You have to love it.

Just did. It didn't make your point. No one is disputing that a telescope can see farther than the human eye. Else, it didn't really sustain the point. Here's a video of a ship below the curvature. The zoom does exactly what I told you to expect, but it can't force the part of the ship below...

The OP had no video. Did you post one in one of your semi-answering, semi-moving on to the next point posts to me? Where? In general I come to argue points, not to watch videos. I can read quickly, but a video forces me to waste a good deal of time. I'd rather read the answer or, better yet...

Well, no. Try it. Take a telescope down to the beach. When the body of the ship has passed below the curvature you won't see it by magnification, though you will get a better look at what you can see. But even without that experience you can understand that nothing would support the notion of...

Becalm the waters and you have the same effect. Keep in mind that at least one of us lives on the Gulf Coast and is a sailor.

Distance makes the smaller visible and the larger disappear? :Plain:

You never see the earth's curvature. You experience the effect as you see objects moving over it. You never commented on why a ship doesn't disappear entirely on the horizon, why the larger, lower portion disappears first while the smaller, higher portion disappears last.

If you passed out and woke up in a 747 with the windows shuttered and having never flown before your senses might tell you that you weren't racing through the air, though you were. Your eyes can fool you any number of ways and often will. Reason is a surer instrument.

True with any sin, but now try to connect that to the issue at hand. Lying? For Christians it's as easy as reading the Bible. But, again, how does this connect to the issue? Supra (individually and in sum).

The first is a theory, the second is a subjective opinion about theological realities. The present consideration is an empirically knowable fact, only willfully obscured by the peculiar belief that the world has entered into a generational conspiracy for no apparent reason. That reason is...

We're running into our own wall here, the age old problem of trying to move people from a point by reason who arrived at their position via another route. Or, as they say in Mississippi, "That boy's four cents off a nickle." :Plain:

Didn't know that. :D Props to your dad. That's incredible. Has to make you proud. Early on I noted the rational improbability of what would have to be a generational, global conspiracy on the point without loads of whistle blowers and hard proof, even without taking into consideration the gain...

I tried to...Dave kept moving it. :mmph: Darn Dave. In any event I'm pretty sure you can see it from Calais.

It's an arguable point, but not one that's helping you with this one. And Charles Manson's direction to murders were founded in his understanding of a Beetle's album. Should we have charged John, Ringo and Paul? Or ridiculed their record? :Plain:
