Can you answer my questions.
Why does the night sky in the northern hemisphere rotate counter clockwise and in the southern hemisphere it rotates clockwise?
When standing at sea level, the horizon is about 3 miles (4.7 kilometers) away before the Earth's curvature blocks your view. The planet drops away at a rate of roughly 8 inches per mile squared. Higher vantage points or tall objects let you see much farther
I’m not a believer of flat earth or globe, I have no idea what it is.
I’m open to seeing where God’s word proves it.
Over and over again, the same secular spew ala:
You haven't answered any of the scriptural imperatives that have been posted, relying instead on the world's carnality.
Indeed, it is made clear and plain throughout the Holy Bible that "the world" is enclosed and stationary and has never moved from its foundations and will never move from them until they perish and a new heaven and new earth come to be. Today, this is a mind blowing theology, but it should not be understood to be a new thought in Christendom. Indeed, many of the church founders believed it to be thus. Martin Luther chides Copernicus: "when a man wishes to be clever he must needs invent something special" (Luther, Tischreden, 1566) - saying that it was common knowledge among scribe and bricklayer alike that the earth never moved.
@Peter1:
There is talk of a new astrologer [Copernicus] who wants to prove that the earth moves and goes around instead of the sky, the sun, the moon, just as if somebody were moving in a carriage or ship might hold that he was sitting still and at rest while the earth and the trees walked and moved. But that is how things are nowadays: when a man wishes to be clever he must needs invent something special, and the way he does it must needs be the best! The fool wants to turn the whole art of astronomy upside-down. However, as Holy Scripture tells us, so did Joshua bid the sun to stand still and not the earth. - Martin Luther
Only an honest question is worthy of an honest reply.

Jesus said that God so loved the world that he sent his only begotten Son, so that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. What is important to realize is that Jesus spoke of "the" world and not the myriad of planets and possible alien life that (according to him) does not and cannot exist. Were he to have spoken of angels, he would have made it plain, but instead, he chose to talk of one world and one sentient race of mankind. This should not go unnoticed, and should immediately cause some concern for those interested in believing in extraterrestrial intelligent creatures.

@Peter1:
Meanwhile, a lie travels throughout the world and back, before truth puts its boots on. Too few professed believers bring scripture to the table. Witness the 125 pages of this thread and the manifestations of the blinded versus the patience of the truth lovers. The deceived must cling to each new worldly outburst as desperately as the previous, because he has no frame of reference. When the word of God is brought to bear, the light exposes the darkness; deceptions vanish and truth is restored.
