Then I should be able to see all of those constellations. But I can't.

Try SPINNING as you walk around your block, and see if you still see the skyscraper in the same spot every single time?
If I orient the top of my head directly at the skyscraper (so I'm leaning at an angle) then I will see it in the same spot when I look up.

"We have been observing the same stars and constellations for hundreds of years. If we are travelling through the ever expanding universe at tremendous speeds shouldnt we be observing different night skies every night?"
Not every night because the stars are so far away that they appear to not be moving. But in fact they are, which is why the constellations we see are slightly different from what people saw thousands of years ago.

Question for globers - Why don't day and night change when orbiting the sun, if we're rotating every 24 hours? By the time you make half an orbit, day and night would change sides.
OH I remember, earth's orbit is something like 23.9 hours, right? Then why don't we re-calibrate our clocks at each equinox?
Why should we? It's clear this person doesn't understand time or the relative position of the earth

Is that what daylight savings is for? Then why don't they do DST in phoenix and jordan?
No, that has nothing to do with DST. DST is a way to set up our day so that we can use more of the daylight. What's more useful, having an hour of sunlight from 4:30 until 5:30 am when no one is up, or having an hour of daylight from 8:30 until 9:30, when people are still awake? That's all it is.

It doesn't work. Heliocentrism is reverse engineered. It's a lie.
Again, what doesn't work about it? It's not reverse engineered, unless you mean that as we find out new information we change our understanding and explanation.

I'll admit I can't answer every question about the physics etc. Neither can you.
I'm not trying to. But I am asking for a simple explanation for a lot of things that don't make sense with flat earth, but that I can easily show for round earth

No one has even tried explaining the big bang yet, which is the FOUNDATION of EVERYTHING.
It doesn't matter if we have an explanation for the big bang or not, but here you go:
God made the Big Bang. He spoke it and and became.
Now explain how flat earth is a better theory than the round earth. You can't.
