I see you and honesty are not really on a first name basis.  

1.  Would you like to answer the questions in opposition to your OP's--(Background "Just So" Story) in lieu of your Ad Hom Fallacy here?

2.  How exactly was I being 'dishonest'... Ya know, to SUPPORT your Ad Hom Fallacy...?

Simple Fairytale... ya meant to say, that a 2nd Grader can Debunk with a Softball/Beach-ball and his Dad's Headlights on the Garage Door!!

But go ahead Mr. 'Simple Physics', Please Explain por favor...?

 

So the shadow shouldn't look like The University of Montana Demonstration staring you right in the face, eh?  

 

I never said anything about the Flat Earth.  Whatever do you mean?

i really don't think you have the intelligence to understand....   so to keep myself out of too much trouble I am going to have to just put you on ignore.

Another in a 'LONG LIST' of Ad Hom Fallacies.

Try "Coherent' Substantive Arguments in lieu of: Insults, Baseless Assertions, and feeble Ad Hom Fallacies and 'The Trouble' Vaporizes.

I was born in 63'; so, that would make you...

Try this one:  I was in Basic Training Ft. Benning Georgia...(No contact with the outside world, news/et al) walking around in the woodline in the middle of the afternoon not a cloud in the sky and all of a sudden... it got Dark lol.  I thought it was the end of the world! 

too funny

On the shadow size question. There are two types of shadows cast. The darkest part of the shadow, is created within the yellow lines in the illustration. If the source of light (the Sun) is larger than the object blocking the light (the Moon), then there will be a shadow on the 'screen' (the Earth) which is smaller than the blocking object, the moon.

There is also another shadow cast. Since the Sun is not a pinpoint of light, but is larger than the moon, light is also blocked by the edges of the Moon, from extreme edges of the Sun, represented by the orange lines.

Of course, because this illustration is not to scale, these differences are exaggerated, but you can get the idea. Both the darker kind of shadow, and the wider, subdued shadow, are present on the Earth, during a full, Solar eclipse.

I would go and see the eclipse, if  thought it was a sure thing, but I am afraid it will be too cloudy.

That is getting a little too harsh, dial it back, and maybe you are right, ignore is an option.

The US is set to experience its first coast-to-coast total solar eclipse in almost a century on August 21 – giving millions of Americans the chance to observe the rare celestial event

So, who has plans to watch this live and in person?  I could not leave my backyard and be in the range between the total eclipse and the .9 magnitude!    A bunch of us have already taken the day off work and have a eclipse party planned. 

 

 

 

. . .  and just how, does this fit in the topic of Apologetics exactly?

errr....& TODAY is my birthday    That is pretty funny though,that you thought it was the end of the world,I can remember a black out when I was around 16 & I was out with a big crowd of kids & we ALL thought it was "the end"..... When you are raised in NY & all the lights go out in NYC & you can't see the hand in front of your face it is a fright!    Oh,to be young & innocent

Well, it is science and it show's God's majesty in my opinion.  

Is that close enough!
