I'm still waiting for your explanation.
You disagree with a Christian man, but you agree with a science man.
You won't endorse an anti-christian, but you believe what he says?
That's hypocrisy.
Make up your mind.
Do you believe God's word or do you believe man's word?

I will gladly disagree with a Christian who is wrong, and agree with a non-Christian where he is right. There is no hypocrisy in that.

To agree with a Christian merely because he is a Christian is actually where the hypocrisy would be. Further, I have not seen any evidence to suggest that Mark Sargent is a Christian. Further, his status as a Christian (or not) is irrelevant on this subject.

I take God's word rightly interpreted over man's word. I reject incorrect interpretations of God's word, because they are man's word.

First you want to discredit the Christian man by questioning his Christianity.
That doesn't cut it with me.
The man happens to be a well known Christian and takes his faith very seriously.
Second, you know the Christian man is wrong and you know the science man is right.
Just who are you anyway?
Third, a man's Christianity is always first in his life and always relevant on every subject.
Fourth, you need lessons in the Bible including humility.
Fifth, I'm smarter than you so you should keep the tone of your voice down.

If the earth was flat an ice ring could not exist except in winter. Also, in winter it would fall off the side.

Careful! You are showing your ignorance... (of the FE model)

Do you not yet realize that the ice ring exists as it does because of the circuit of the sun?

Do you not yet realize that the heat of the sun melts the ice and forms/maintains the ice ring?

Do you not yet realize that any land area far enough away from the sun is going to be frozen?

Do you not yet realize that this would include all land beyond the ice ring - which exists in a state of 'perpetual' winter?

Do you not yet realize that - where the ice ring is - it is always winter?

Do you not yet realize that the seasons change due to the changing 'position' of the sun in its circuit?

Do you not yet realize that this is why the 'North' and the 'South' are continuously a half-cycle apart from each other? (seasons)

:rolleyes:

For a third reason - you nailed it - I grow weary of writing long explanations that seem to only draw remarks from the hecklers and no encouragement from any who might agree. Not always, perhaps. But, as a whole - not nearly enough 'positive' feedback to make it worth it.

See what I mean...? :rolleyes:

These verses are mostly how things appeared in a primitive culture. Also, they are the views from the pagan nations surrounding them.
Maybe they knew something...

Do you realize that there are things in existance on the earth today that the modern-day "wise wise man" doesn't have a clue how they were accomplished?

Maybe some of those 'primative' cultures were not as dumb as some today think that they were.

Perhaps, they were able to view their world without the psychological hindrance that comes from being brainwashed from birth...

If you're going to recommend Mark Sargent, I'm going to recommend SciMan Dan. He consistently and systematically debunks Sargent's claims. If he were not also anti-Christian, I would endorse him.
Is recommendation not a form of endorsement?

The man happens to be a well known Christian and takes his faith very seriously.
As I said, I have seen nothing (until this statement of yours) saying Mark Sargent is a Christian. That is not discrediting anyone.

Second, you know the Christian man is wrong and you know the science man is right.
Just who are you anyway?
Yes, I know the Christian man is wrong and the science man is right. I do my homework.

Third, a man's Christianity is always first in his life and always relevant on every subject.
While Christianity is relevant, the (alleged) fact that the man is a Christian is not. Christian faith does not inherently trump science.

Fourth, you need lessons in the Bible including humility.
And just who are you, anyway? Your next comment demonstrates your blatant lack of humility.

Fifth, I'm smarter than you so you should keep the tone of your voice down.
Bahahahaha! Your alleged intelligence is irrelevant, unproven, and given the rank stupidity of this comment, highly questionable. Even if you are smarter than me, which I very much doubt, that is no reason for me to act any different.

I recommend that you and other FE-proponents watch his debunking of Mark Sargent. I don't endorse the other material he has. The words are not synonyms.

Nothing but jokes...

No serious consideration to the possibility that the Ball Earth "science" we have all been taught since birth just might not be the truth.
