If stars are spheres of burning gas emitting light in all directions then why is the night sky so dark? Why are stars points of light in the night sky?

The earth is a flat, non spinning realm, not a planet in an infinite universe

Because your eyes aren't sensitive enough to detect all of the light that arrives. Free space loss.
The universe is not old enough for all the starlight to have arrived on earth.
Look at an Azimuthal equidistant map, then realize that the sun does indeed drift between the tropic lines in a predictable fashion and there you have your answer.
But this only happens during the summer, why is that? I looked up that map and it's just a map from the North Pole outward. It doesn't explain anything to me.
Then one of the half dozen videos about this that I've already posted will... enjoy.
Short answer: They are a long way away!
The distance to even the nearest star is 2.4 light years determined directly by stellar parallax. Some of the nearest stars are NOT just points -- they can be resolved by Hubble and Keck telescopes. Optical interferometry is also used to measure stellar diameters. The sun's distance (93 million miles) can be determined a number of ways: parallax, radar, interferometry, etc. But don't let facts get in your way...
during a Lunar eclipse, the sun, behind the earth, displays earths shadow onto the moon. How is that possible with a flat, disc earth?
I did some flat earth research.
The accepted theory per the rigorous flat earth scientific rigor is that the moon is composed of bioluminescent bacteria called Moonshrimp. There is an anti-Moon which is bereft of Moonshrimp that gets in the way sometimes and causes an eclipse.

We have seen that, during a lunar eclipse, the moon's self-luminous surface is covered by a semi-transparent something; that this "something" is a definite mass, because it has a distinct and circular outline, as seen during its first and last contact with the moon. As a solar eclipse occurs from the moon passing before the sun, so, from the evidence above collected, it is evident that a lunar eclipse arises from a similar cause--a body semi-transparent and well-defined passing before the moon; or between the moon's surface and the observer on the surface of the earth.
We have now seen that the existence of dark bodies revolving about the luminous objects in the firmament has been admitted by practical observers from the earliest ages; and that in our own day such a mass of evidence has accumulated on the subject, that astronomers are compelled to admit that not only dark bodies which occasionally obscure the luminous stars when in conjunction, but that cosmical bodies of large size exist, and that "one at least is attached as a satellite to this earth." It is this dark or "non-luminous satellite," which when in conjunction,or in a line with the moon and an observer on earth, IS THE IMMEDIATE CAUSE OF A LUNAR ECLIPSE

Saying any picture of a round earth is fish eye lens is like a religious person answering every question with, "Because God said so."
If you can see the curvature go from concave to flat to convex or vica versa it's a fish eye lens. If you'd taken even a scintilla of a second to look into it you would know that.
No one has observed the curve with their naked unaided eye therefor... thanks for joining my team.
I got this one, billy. Fish eye lens.
Billy...
Just got back from a 26-day boat trip. Almost made it to the edge but the international patrol repelled us like an episode of whale wars!!
Glad you're still fightin' the good fight.
It looks like I need to catch up on about 20 pages of Bill whippin' his wang out on you rubes. Should I read it all or TIB? (Trust in Bill)
I guess it could be considered canonical so I'll have to catch up.

I think this would tie into Schuler Oscillations and Schuler Tuning that I brought up many, many pages ago and you were going to look into. I could be incorrect though.

Today 37,000ft, full moon high above the horizon after sunrising.

I'm just trying to teach you sleepy children the truth about the realm we live on.
I'm not reading 10 pages of your nonsense to find you still don't know what you're talking about.
