How far away we are told to think the moon is,may be about how far away the sun really is and if so,its really only a few thousand miles across and not the 865,000 mile diameter that we're taught to believe and so the sun might really be around 200,000 miles away and not the 93,000,000 miles that we are told to believe...
Although i think the sun is even closer and smaller than that,perhaps only a few thousand miles away and a few hundred miles across and as unnerving as that is,i think those numbers are somewhere near the truth...

All i have to do is try looking at the sun,then see its intensely blinding glare and feel its burning heat and thats enough for me to believe its actually much smaller and a lot closer than we are told to think it is...

I have got to ask you this question. Where in the World do you get these crazy...very easy to disprove...ideas?

Then the earth might be about 25,000 miles across from our human perspectives
The result of us seeing through and within atmospheric anomalies,magnified optical mirages and intentionally projected holographic illusions and like the earth,the sun and moon may also be slightly curved convex discs > 4.bp.blogspot.com...

So how come the moon gets between the Earth and Sun occasionally, if the sun is supposedly closer than the moon??

Listen I think what he is trying to get at is it's all about perspective! Like an ant would think (if it could think) that the earth is far bigger than we believe it to be, because they are smaller. However, they will see themselves as "normal size" or even large compared to other smaller creatures. Just as we do compared to our soul farming alien friends.
Edit, oh so yeah asking that is a bit pointless as it would depend upon the perspective.edit on 1-7-2012 by mee30 because: (no reason given)
Were humans not ants, so that being our perspective - his theory is wrong the end.

Surely we are not alone,we might not be at the top of earths food chain and we may not be the true dominant species of earths biosphere...

No No No you miss the point. lol It wouldn't change OUR perception of the distance at all.. But will the aliens use miles? Do ants use meters? We have named these things... Who's to say that the aliens are not 2 miles (to us) tall?
I'm just playing along here man, no need to take everything so serious...

How so? Explain please... Are you going from a distance than he has given you?
