“It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.” – Mark Twain
We are told that the moon is 2,159 miles in diameter and that it is 238,900 miles from earth. That is a ratio of 1 to 110.
Go on google earth pro and find Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. The stadium is 800 feet long. Multiply 800 feet by 110 and you get 88,000 feet. Go up 88,000 feet over Arrowhead Stadium.
Guess what, you can’t see it! It’s a speck. You can barely make out the parking lot. The stadium is a dot, yet the moon is immense in the sky by comparison. How is that possible? It’s not – if you believe the math. If the math was correct the moon would look like just another tiny twinkling star.
And please don’t try to tell me that the atmosphere somehow magnifies it. The atmosphere would have to look and work like a magnifying lens as shown in the picture below. But it doesn’t. The atmosphere would be just the opposite as a lens if we were living on a ball.
If we’re being told to believe this silliness, what else are they telling us to believe?
