Another excellent article. I’m constantly amazed at the number of authorities (in their own eyes) who hold to a belief system (religious or secular) in which they spend more time fighting against an opposing belief/doctrine rather than happily spreading their gospel via apologetics and proofs.
Stereotype, ad hominem, poisoning the well, appeals to motive, omniscience and just about every other fallacy are on the table it seems, and not one time has Faulkner said: “We KNOW the earth is a spinning oblate, slightly pear shaped sphere in a 10^-17 Torr “near perfect vacuum”, orbiting the sun... BECAUSE........”
Thankfully, Danny hasn’t done much real research into the rhetoric and claims of ‘science’ for either paradigm. If he had, he might actually have had a bit of traction on a point or two that would have necessitated a little more work on your part to rebut. Right now, it seems he’s been working all these years, just to produce a logically fallacious cake walk.
Keep up the good work. Stay humble. It’s a harsh mirror held up to Faulkner, who’s bearing false witness with every page.
I’m not so sure that you will have to research much. The entire premise of the book seems to be claims of why the earth isn’t a horizontal plane and why “flat earthers” (a stereotype fallacy) are idiots and cult members. Maybe skim through the chapter headings and see if Danny presents any scientific, scriptural or philosophical evidence to support the Heliocentric philosophy/paradigm. At least that will give you some hope that he presents something worth researching.

I’m sure once I get out of chapter one - I’ll have to do some deeper research. Thanks for the encouragement. I appreciate you.
