147. The Sun and Moon appearing the same size is too much of a coincidence

June 22, 2018

"The ball-Earth model claims the Sun is precisely 400 times larger than the Moon and 400 times further away from Earth making them “falsely” appear exactly the same size. Once again, the ball model asks us to accept as coincidence something that cannot be explained other than by natural design. The Sun and the Moon occupy the same amount of space in the sky and have been measured with sextants to be of equal size and equal distance, so claiming otherwise is against our eyes, experience, experiments and common sense."

The common sense fallacy again

Dubay stating that it is "something that cannot be explained other than by natural design" does not constitute a proof.

The argument as to whether the universe was designed is also irrelevant to the proof. A spherical Earth orbiting the Sun with an orbiting Moon that appears the same size as the Sun because of perspective could just as easily have been designed as a flat Earth.

So we are once again left with … it looks the same so it must be the same.

Using that logic, the woman in the photo must be the same size as the Sphinx.

Watch these videos to see how just trusting your eyes is not necessarily wise

You don’t need to be a simpleton to have your senses and your common sense mislead you. You just need to be human. Be thankful that you have your intelligence to help you figure out what is actually going on.

Regarding the measured distance to the Moon and Sun, people have measured these distances for thousands of years, initially inaccurate, but with increasing levels of accuracy. But even as far back as the ancient Greeks it was known that the Sun and Moon were far further away than flat Earth's 3000 miles assertion.

Here are links to a series of YouTube videos that takes you through how distances, size and luminosity of celestial objects were discovered.
