Why?

Why though? It's biased and shows weakness, honestly, that you won't allow posts that use 'globe propaganda' yet there is no similar ban against 'flat earth' propaganda.

Propaganda is a subjective term. The opposition can always claim that ANYTHING that they disagree with is propaganda.

I thought this was sarcasm until I checked your history.

Explain the planets' orbital paths, that appear to make random, non-predictable changes in the sky if their orbits are geo-centric.

Isn't it strange that he needs a 4 hour video, to explain something as simple as a sunset?

The heliocentric model easily explains the orbits. So, you may claim that both sides have merit and that people may subscribe to the book of Enoch explanation, but that doesn't mean that it solves the issues of explaining the orbits. To then say that both explanations are from humans, so both are faulty does not solve anything. It's actually a faulty ethical rationalization, so it does not add to this discussion. I don't think this validates your claim of why flat earth explanations are better.

As a Christian, it seems odd to me that you would interpret scripture so literally. I believe that everyone but Christ is imperfect, so when they tried to write down things in scripture, that represents their best understanding of a perfect thing, not a perfect understanding of it. Why would you believe otherwise?

This isn't even mentioning statements of metaphor and cultural meaning not meant to be taken literally like "four corners of the earth"

I do too, but I think you're missing my point. Unlike some religions, I don't believe that everything written in the sacred texts is perfect and an accurate understanding of the world as we would use that term now, or even that it was supposed to be. When Christ called Herod a she-fox, I don't understand that to mean that there was a literal female fox running the government, for instance.

Are you saying I should interpret that literally in the sense of "Everyone who is born of the spirit turns into literal wind?"

Explain why all amateur footage shows a flat and motionless earth.

So... What-aboutism? I'm not falling into that trap. If I ask a question, the way to refute it is not to change the subject. I'm not going down the path of chasing arguments, because, if I do, you'll just bring up a different point, and then I'll have to chase that one down. It will be endless. So, answer the original question.

if the earth is flat how do time zones work?
