But when you start comparing the sun to a comet for no good reason it's not a logical conclusion. You're merely broadcasting to everyone your own ignorance of how either works on even the most fundamental level and then broadcasting your own disregard for your ignorance by taking any "conclusions" drawn from it and presenting them as if they have any value.

I'm not sure why a spherical earth would negate the possibility of intelligent design.

no apologies necessary. you and i just think differently. and i'm afraid i don't know how to further exemplify the logic. i say there should be a tail, because the sun (like a comet) has stuff coming off of it. the fact that it has stuff coming off of it is common knowledge in my books (at least in the globe earth theory) and i don't really understand what else you need to comprehend this besides opening your mind up. you're saying the sun doesn't have a tail because it doesn't. and because it doesn't, it means that the sun and a comet are different. i'm saying that's not logical because we know enough about them to know of the similarities, and despite those similarities, we can see that they are obviously behaving very differently. you think they are dissimilar, and i can live with that.

well it doesn't, actually. but if you plaster the world with advertising that says "make the most of your life! buy stuff and identify with products! your life is the only thing that should matter to you!" while simultaneously explaining that the earth very well could be a complete accident, it's easier to get people to forget about the implications of intelligent design in favour of stuffing their faces and watching porn.

EDIT: whereas if we are well aware that the earth is flat, stationary, and the sky revolves around us, we pretty much know for certain that our purpose here isn't solely of our own design.

Your only evidence is in comparing two things that are inherently different from one another as if they act identically. So your logic is wrong from the start. Glad to help. I'll be here if you have any more questions.

You realize things happen that you can't take pictures of? The cartoon is based off of raw data collected by technology, and then modeled with a cartoon image.

If you're not open to this portion of science I think you have bigger things to tackle than the earth's shape.

So every depiction of anything ever is incorrect? I'll remember that next time you show us a flat earth model

haha. you have to see things from my point of view if you don't want to waste your time. you're talking to a guy who thinks the earth is flat. that means he's long-since dealt with the notion that all space information is bunk. i'm over the cartoons.

yes. they are all incorrect. and i can't show you a photo of the flat earth. photos of earth in its entirety do not - and probably can not - exist.
