147) The ball-Earth model claims the Sun is precisely 400 times larger than the Moon and 400 times further away from Earth making them “falsely” appear exactly the same size. Once again, the ball model asks us to accept as coincidence something that
cannot be explained other than by natural design. The Sun and the Moon occupy the same amount of space in the sky and have been measured with sextants to be of equal size and equal distance, so claiming otherwise is against our eyes, experience,
experiments and common sense.

Come back in a million years .... when the Moon -- Earth distance will
have changed .... so the Moon -- Sun ratio will have changed!!

There are NO claims here.
We have MEASURED the distance to the Moon.
We have MEASURED the radius of the Moon.
We have MEASURED the distance to the Sun.
We have MEASURED the radius if the Sun.

Next, NOBODY ever claimed that the difference in radius and distance to
be «precisely» 400 times. The distances to BOTH the Moon and the Sun are variable.

Using a sextant, you can ONLY measure the ANGLE between two things.
It is impossible to use a sextant to measure the size of something.
It is impossible to use a sextant to measure the distance to something.

So, YOU claim things that are false. YOUR claims are nothing BUT LIES !
