Did you also catch Mount Everest with the telescope? Considering that it is the highest mountain in the world it should be seen everywhere, but it's not because the Earth is round.

Did he explain why people in Australia or anyone south of the equator can not ever see Polaris while people north of the equator can?

That's because it doesn't. Helicopters don't use velcro to fly.

My favorite is zooming in on those little underwater disco-balls you guys call "stars" that hover over our heads at night. I'm sure you'll be surprised when you see one for the first time as they look nothing like their CGI counter parts.
Yeah, like watching Jupiter and seeing its satellites going around it and thus proving that Bible is wrong when it says that Earth is at the center of the universe.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
