Translated to "English";

With a smart phone/Camera and a little trig you can calculate the distance to the Moon yourself. Here iss how,

1.) Step outside on a clear night when there’s a full Moon. Set your camera up on a tripod, pointing at the Moon.

2.) With every image of the Moon you’ll need to know the Moon’s approximate elevation. Most smartphones have various apps that allow you to measure the camera’s angle based on the tilt of the phone. By aligning the phone with the camera you can measure the elevation of the Moon accurately.

3.) For every image you’ll need to measure the apparent diameter of the Moon in pixels, seeing an increase as the Moon rises higher in the sky.

4.) Lastly, the Moon’s distance can be measured from only two images (of course the more images the better you beat down any error) using this relatively simple equation:

where d(t) is the distance from the Moon to your location on Earth, RE is the radius of the Earth, ht(t) is the elevation of the Moon for your second image, α(t)
is the relative apparent size of the Moon, or the apparent size of the Moon in your second image divided by the initial apparent size of the Moon in your first image and ht,0 is the initial elevation of the Moon for your first image.

So with a few pictures and a little math, you can measure the distance to the Moon.

iirc god raped some virgin girl who was just married, in a trolly attempt to destroy their marriage or something.

Well jokes on god, that chick raised their first kid as the son of god and established the most horrific government/religion in the history of humankind.

Christianity. No entities past are covered in more innocent blood than these sky daddy rapist worshiping sadists...

I just did what you demanded. If you cant be bothered to look up stuff yourself, and you demand others do it for you, then you reject the results, what is there that is left? (i also included a website to help someone who knows zero trig, learn trig advanced enough to do this, just requires actual effort)

Everything you need is right there. chopped up and worded in the most plain terms you can comprehend.

Inb4 dodge. :santa:

"there are no pics of round earth either"

"there aren't many, but a few"

"those are fake for reasons i can't prove but need"

Agreed. But why is that relevant? (America is a Christian government, so again, whats your point?)

Christians raped people across like 2000 years of time, and the religion is founded as a result of a rape.

Have to agree :( Christianity is a nice idealism, but powermonger manipulators used it through the history for war and their own personal greed and goals. Reformation molded christianity to its current (mostly) "peaceful" form we know today, but it is still faaar from perfect. Now they fall off on the other side of the horse and it became a puppet, and it is not even capable to defend itself... Since the pope is a migrant kisser it won't change shortly. Islam would need a reformation too... the world would be a much peaceful place... :(
