Hundreds of Flat-Earthers gather in Denver for international conference

The Flat Earth International Conference has come to Denver. The flat-earthers come to discuss their beliefs with each other and debate the ideas of a flat versus round Earth.

People not so sure the Earth is round have come from around the globe to Denver this week to discuss their beliefs at the Flat Earth International Conference, hosted at the Crowne Plaza Denver Airport Convention Center.

The two-day conference began on Thursday and ends Friday.

Self-described "flat-earthers" believe the Earth's shape has not been proven using the scientific method.

"Scientifically when you go and try to prove the curvature, or the movement, of the Earth - you can't do it," said Robbie Davidson, the founder and organizer of the conference. "There's not one experiment, from Earth, to prove Earth as what we've been taught."

Davidson said he used to believe Earth is round until 2015, when he came across a video making fun of the Flat Earth movement.

"I just started looking into it and, as a Christian, I started looking at the Bible," he said. "Well, why does the Bible say this? So, for me, it was just looking into the evidence."

Flat-earthers also believe, despite evidence to the contrary, that the Earth doesn't rotate. They say everything in the sky moves under a dome or firmament.

"I take a biblical mindset the fact that the firmament divided the waters from the waters, so that the sun, moon, and stars are inside the firmament - so it placed the sun, moon, and stars in the firmament on day four, after the Earth - so how do you have the Earth created first and then the sun, moon and stars?" Davidson questioned.

Of course they pick out a “Christian” who holds these idiotic views in an attempt to paint people of faith as fools.

Those people need to be institutionalized, and on IV-Thorazine-Lithium-Valium drips.

No it’s real. I love this sentence: People not so sure the Earth is round have come from around the globe to Denver this week to discuss their beliefs at the Flat Earth International Conference

That reporter has a sure sense of humor.

Here we go again. The Earth is neither flat nor round. It is spherical.

I wonder if they asked for rear-view mirrors on their airplanes to check for chemtrails

I'd go but it's too far to drive and I don't trust airplanes. I mean look how heavy they are. In fact I don't think airplanes can fly now that i think of it. They are just too darned heavy.

There are flat-earthers right here on FR. They show up on stories about NASA, yelling “Fake!”

I always thought they were like the Pastafarians; but apparently some people actually believe this - or have convinced themselves they do.
