i mean what i said,
that the same phase of the moon is observed everywhere on earth at the same time any phase of the moon is observed.
and i also mean what i implied, that this is proof of a heliocentric, spheroidal cosmology, and that the prototypical cultic response will be to fall back on such things as petty semantic arguments & pretend there has never been anything definitive said debunking their positions.
i also am quite serious about the desirable nature of an olive garden and preferring coffee that has only been slightly mixed.

So why did you complain and commit ad hominem when Gary pointed out this statement supports Flat Earth?
As Gary pointed out, everyone on Earth seeing the same phase of the moon at the same time is evidence for Flat Earth, not Heliocentricity. But well done for being honest about your observation.

Listen I don't want any part of this debate. I have never been high enough to see with my own eye's so I'm not 100% sure of any of it honestly, but am so glad you mentioned the boat/horizon thing as evidence. I KNOW this is not true, or there's more to it. I've done this experiment myself and this is something I've seen with my own eyes, and you can too. You can watch a boat go "over the horizon edge", over the "curve", then grab a pare of binoculars and see it again, you can then watch the same thing in the binoculars and watch it go "over" the edge and grab a more powerful scope and find it again. The effect of the boat going "over the curve" is an optical illusion, at least as far as my most powerful telescope could track it. I watched it go "over the edge" twice and found it twice. Don't know what that proves, but it was interesting as it could be, and I have to admit I learned of this experiment from a flat earthers talking about the fact you could do this.
