Strange post, ChivasRegal.

seeing the same stars in the same location every night is simply not possible on a spinning ball hurtling through space
That is not what I said though. I said that different stars are visible at different locations on earth. If you track the specific stars visible at specific locations, you can very easily conclude that earth is a sphere. Indeed it is possible that the stars are just part of a dome (I have no way to verify that), but it is absolutely 100% verifiable from the visible stars that earth is not flat.

you lost me here....can you show me actual proof the horizon moves?
What happened to "thinking independently"? Just go outside, walk for a mile, and you will see that your horizon is different in your destination than it was in the beginning. The horizon doesn't literally
move (which is why I put it between quotes), but your horizon depends entirely on your vantage point.

what in the actual heck are you talking about moving through time?
You know perfectly well what I meant.

the naked eye can't see this, thus verify it for proof...you are just believing what you have been told...no independent thought expressed again...
The naked eye can see this, and that is what makes it such perfect proof. Last Tuesday I spotted Mars with the naked eye. If I were to follow Mars' movements and track its location each day, I would be able to show that the planet's movements follow the path that it would follow if it orbited around the sun. Of course this is no 100% absolute certain proof, but it is quite good evidence. It is definitely way better evidence than anything we have available for a geocentric universe.
