I think my explanation was pretty clear. Read it again and tell me what part you don't understand.

You're looking at the Sun. Light travels in a straight line, so along that straight line there must be a position where the Sun was at some point in the past. Let's say you're right and the Sun isn't where you see it. But light is hitting you from that direction. It must have traveled in a straight line. Draw that line. In your mind or in a a diagram where you look at the solar system from above. The line misses the Sun. But the Sun was never on that line, not 8 minutes ago, not a hundred years ago. Contradiction.

I never claimed that the Sun was not on the line, that is your strawman, and another logical fallacy. I stated that the sun was on the line, from which the photons came, but 8.5 minutes ago. The Sun might have a relatively stationary position in the sky but the observer on Earth is moving, so the observers view of the sun will be changing position in the sky.
