Flat Earth: Deeper Into Moon Phases

The image above is a supposed scale rendition of the earth and moon. It's exactly why I'm questioning science. What we're given seems ridiculous compared to every day observation. The image shows the moon and earth. The entire system is like hiding a grain of rice behind a barn. It's hard to compare this to what we observe with our own eyes.

As for the last flat earth post I've been looking deeper into moon phases. I wasn't sure if my theory of improper phases was right. Through conversation it seems crescent moons are not visible all hours of the night, and they certainly shouldn't be. This much I was wrong about, and science supposedly had correct. I've examined one cycle from sunset to sunrise. The following phases are for Toronto, Canada.

Sun Set March 1st  - 6:07PM
Moon Rise March 2nd- 1:46AM
Sun Rise March 2 - 6:52AM
Moon Set March 2nd - 11:44AM
Sun Set March 2 - 6:08PM

The above crescent moon is visible March 2nd. The sun sets on March 1st at about 6:07 PM. The crescent rises March 2nd at about 1:46 AM. This seems quite early. It's about 8 hours from sunset and about 5 hours from sun rise. This means the moon rises a little better than halfway through the night. Awfully early considering this moon must be catching sunlight and we have to be able to see it. Considering it's in space the sunlight part isn't troubling. It's the idea we should be able to see it from Toronto at that time.

It's cutting close to say the least. I think the key to proving or disproving the current model would be through experimentation. Looking at more crescent moons for discrepancies, and possibly creating 3D models, would reveal a lot.
