David - you forget one thing. I once believed just as you presently do. It was not until I decided to challenge those beliefs i.e. worldview that I began to see things much differently. If the religion of heliocentrism, which I was a believer in for more than 40 years, actually contained observable and empirical evidences I would never have renounced it. I discovered heliocentric theories are just that....theories. I believed them to be facts because I was taught to believe them as facts.
If an/my Astronomy professor told me/their students to prove heliocentrism via the scientific method..... myself/every student would fail.
If a student was asked to prove the earth flat via the scientific method, all they would need to do is pour water into any size/shape container, show the professor it is level at rest and then ask the professor if the earth is 70 plus percent water?
Simple!
So simple, it goes right over most "educated" peoples heads. They simply cannot grasp the simplicity of it.
That is due to toy globe indoctrination from cradle to grave.


noodles, you wrote "They claim to have satellites further out than the ISS that can zoom in and track things on earth and even read a license plate number"
I told you this is false. You need to either provide the evidence that convinced you this was so or admit you made a mistake (very likely caused by believing someone who had inadequate basis for reliability).
Since then you claimed "Yet they cannot track one of their own rockets a mere 250 miles from earth."
This too ls false. So again, provide the source that led you to believe that or admit that again were were mistaken.
By a process of such small steps you can get a lot nearer to reality than you currently are. If you want to live in a fantasy world, you will not respond to these two requests.
