The Moon (Part 2)

Is there anybody else out there who is reading this?

Do you consider the Earth to be flat?

Do you think that the Moon is visable at the same time at all points on the Earth?

Do you consider that the time of day is the same at all points on the Earth?

Why would you suppose that distant light sources don't cast reflections?  Can you give me an example of this phenomenon?

The earth is independent of any heavenly bodies. The tides are controlled by Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala's natural laws. He tells us in the Qur'an that He has set a balance. This is the natural law of the universe.

Indeed, the tides are a result of a balance between the earth's gravity, which tends to keep the ocean at a constant elevation, and the moon's gravity, which tries to pull the water toward itself.  (I'm oversimplifying a bit, but I think it will do for this discussion.)

People follow what lies NASA tells and they follow the lies of the so called scientists of the past who has proven nothing but theorised much.

Are you describing scientists, or theologians?

There you go, you get your scientific facts from wikipedia. Say no more.

I get my scientific facts from a great variety of sources.  I'm only linking to Wikipedia because it's convenient.  Find me a single reputable source that supports your wacko theories.

Actually, never mind "reputable" -- find me a source, period.  Show me that you're not just making stuff up.

The Earth is flat hence the reason we can see the moon at the same time all over the world.

But we can't.  Tonight the moon will rise in Winnipeg at 1:44 a.m. CDT (=06:44 GMT).  If I were to phone you at that time, you would tell me that you saw the moon rise more than nine hours earlier at 1:33 a.m. GST (=21:33 GMT).

Human beings do not possess the technology to penetrate the Earth's 'atmosphere'.

The International Space Station has been orbiting the earth for more than a decade.  If it weren't far above the earth's atmosphere, then friction with the air would have long ago brought it crashing down.  (You can actually watch it passing overhead.  It's a fascinating sight -- sign up at http://spotthestation.nasa.gov/index.cfm to receive email alerts whenever it is visible in Sharjah.)

GPS technology relies on a number of satellites in what are called "geostationary" orbits.  That is, the orbits are synchronized with the earth's rotation, so that satellites are always over a specific geographic location.  If human beings did not put these satellites up there, then who did?  Jinns?  Allah?  And if they are not orbiting a spherical and rotating earth, then how do these satellites just hang there, apparently motionless?  Is that some kind of magic?

There is no 'atmosphere' as such but it continues to the next heaven. What we see is out own universe, there are no glaxies, black holes, supernova's etc etc as these are the imaginations of a group of people who has the only agenda which is to rip off the government for billions of dollars of funding, most of which goes into their own pockets.

This "group of people" is hundreds of millions of people in every advanced nation spanning hundreds of years.  The magnitude of the conspiracy theory you are proposing is positively breathtaking.  Far more vast than what would have been required to invent the story of Muhammad, for instance.  A few hundred people could have concocted that, from virtually nothing.

***BREAKING NEWS***

The moon has it's own clouds.

The moon is created for man to calculate time. There are 30 days in a lunar month and these days are calculated by the shape of the moon. So for example, when the moon is a perfect crescent then the first day of the month begins. The full moon usually lasts 3 days which are normally the 13th, 14h and 15th of the month.

This dark cloud appears and disappears during the monthly cycle causing the shape to change.

What is this?

Get a telescope. A cheap one. Look at the moon. It has no clouds.
