If you look up the FE animated model, they try to explain the seasons by the sun shifting from the "inner" ring to the "outer" ring. I guess it sort of makes sense if you're stupid, but even if you just accept that the sun moves that way it still doesn't explain how part of antarctica gets sunlight for 6 months. They believe antarctica goes all the way around the outer edge, but there's no way for the sun to light up the whole outer edge at the same time in that model.

The problem with arguing with a FEer is that every issue you bring up they just make the model more and more complex. Each anomaly noted just gets a few gears, belts and lights added and viola the model works now. It is the very opposite of an elegant design. In the grand scheme nature and the universe is always an elegant design even if when we first discover something or a process we can not elegantly explain it.

Ya'll are making fun of the guy but look at all the lies they have told recently. "You need the vaccine even if you already had covid." "The earth is a globe." etc

I love conspiracists because there is always a “they”.
