I agree 100%...but do you have the same sentiment that US is giving weapons to Ukraine? Ever since Israel went to war with Hamas after the deadly attack. We have heard global leaders demanding Israel to cease fire or else and that Israel must come to a peace agreement with Hamas. Where is this same demand for Ukraine and Russia to come to a peace agreement? Nope, all we hear is that we need to continue too fund the war Ukraine.

Do you have the same sentiment regarding US sending weapons to Ukraine?

You got it. God and his Word never changes.

I would say a combination of both. Honestly he is not even running the show. Lights are on but no ones home.

I love the old saying, "Grace is getting something you don't deserve where as Mercy is not getting something you do deserve".

This is how light and shadows work in reality: ...but this is what they want to feed us about the eclipses, to explain why the moon's shadow is so much smaller than the moon, because this can not be reproduced in any real experiment where the shadow is smaller than the object.

I would advise not using a ruler. The ruler could be slightly tilted or angled to make it thinner where the sun hits it. I would recommend using two quarters or two tennis balls or something similar where we can actually compare them side by side.

Yes I saw your illustration you posted. I just don't think those illustrations match reality of how light expands as it goes outward. This is what makes shadows larger than the object. In the illustration you posted, it shows light doing the opposite and narrowing down and creating a smaller umbra shadow than the actual size of the object. Look at the photo I posted and you can see the umbra and penumbra. The umbra is larger than the object and the penumbra is just the thin edge of the actual shadow where the shadow is diffusing with the surrounding light. Now compare that to the illustration you posted.

The point is not to replicate the Sun and Moon but to prove you can not get a smaller shadow than the object being projected upon...in any situation.

What makes you assume I didn't? Results: Claim False

Repentance involves both mind and actions. For example, If a person were planning on murdering someone but while on their way to commit this murder, they realized how evil this action would be and so they had a change of heart and repented which resulted in them never proceeding with murdering the other person. On the other hand, If this person realized in their mind how evil and may even felt shameful for what they were going to do but still ended up going murdering the other person. Even though they were convicted and felt shame in their plan, they never really repented. Repentance involves thoughts and actions. I would say repentance starts in the heart but the proof is in your actions. "Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, ... "And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. [Mat 3:8, 10]

No, I just figured you would be willing to back up your claim, like an honest person would. Figured, I would let you run with your absurdity and I fully got what I expected from you.....nothing but a false claim and some dodge and rolls.

Wait! So you don't have any proof of your so called easy penny experiment projecting a smaller shadow, nor are you willing to provide any proof??? I thought this was a simple easy experiment??? You know I see a lot of drawings and illustrations of such experiments but not once have I ever seen a real experiment that can be recreated where a projected shadow is less in size than the actual object. You prove my point.

I would like to see the results of your penny experiment. Do you have any photos? Yes, the sun is said to be very large but at that distant (approx. 93 million miles away) its relatively small. From earth when you look at the Sun its approximately the size of a quarter and would not be much different from the moon. If the whole sky was filled with a massive sun and all you saw from horizon to horizon was flaming orange sun sky then maybe that argument would apply. If the sun causes the moon to produce a shadow that is smaller than its actual size, then it would also have to work the same for other objects as well, but it doesn't. Maybe your penny experiment can prove otherwise.

So light does not funnel down as you show in your pictures. Light spreads the further it goes out. This is why shadows appear larger. So you do agree shadows are larger than the object. So then why in your first picture why is the inner darker moon shadow so much much smaller and not larger?

Well the sun is a single source.

Probably not bright enough to project.

Well get you a bigger light and you will still get the same results.

You can recreate this on a smaller scale and it will never create a shadow that is smaller than the object being projected. Put a flash light 93 inches away from a surface then but a smaller object 1/4" a way and see if it creates a smaller shadow than the actual object or not. Projected shadows are never smaller.

If you are standing in the shadow of the plane then the sun is being blocked entirely by the plane. If you are standing outside the shadow of the plane then no the sun is not being entirely blocked. In the same way someone in Texas is in the shadow of the eclipse, but someone in Arizona at that same time can see the Sun.

That makes no sense. The farther away an object is from the surface that it is projected on the large the shadow will be not smaller. A jet parked on the ground is going to have a shadow relatively close to its actual size. Put that jet up in the sky the shadow will be much bigger on the ground. It does not matter if it is spherical or a triangle a shadow is a shadow.

In the same way neither does the moon block the sun for the entire earth only for certain areas and only for a very short time. The dark strip that across America is the umbra. The shadow of the plane that crosses the ground is the umbra.

Its not that simple. Here is a scenario, so when Sun is at high noon and a large jet fly's overhead the shadow (umbra) of the jet on the ground is massively larger than the actual jet. How does that compute with what you just said?

How can the shadow of the moon be so much smaller than the moon itself? When you put an object in front of a light source the umbra (darker inner shadow) is always far bigger than the actual object. Show me a real world experiment where the umbra (inner shadow) is smaller than the actually object being projected. Before you go on about penumbra, I know that every shadow has a penumbra which is a outer thin hazy shadow where the shadow is diffusing with the surrounding light, but when they use it to explain the solar eclipses the penumbra is not a thin layer but a massively thicker layer that far exceeds the thickness of the actual shadow of the moon is projecting. This does not happen in real world experiments. Try it and see.

Isn't Jesus identified as the creator? In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. ... He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. [Jhn 1:1-3, 10-11 KJV]
