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.

Your ignorance of technology and spaceflight doesn't mean that whacky conspiracy theories should be embraced.
This statement is absolutely built on ignorance. I worked on a system called the ITT 465L in the early 80's. It was "new" in the early 60's or so. NO computer geek could rebuild that because the components in most cases ARE NOT AVAILABLE and even if you could get them it would cost a fortune. But luckily MOST understand that NEW technology supplants OLD technology. And so instead of understanding the concept that old technology can't be exactly replicated you have to stretch it to mean that "Gee, we're too stupid to go to the moon today".
The polite term is “athletic”.
Like I said, your belief in a Nazi staffed, liberal organization such as NASA beggars belief.
Just because radios got transistors in 1959, doesn’t mean we “lost the technology” for radio.
LOL again.
DEVO, only they’re chicks?
We lost the ability to build radios from 1930. That's the POINT. We went to the moon WITH the technogy of the 60 s. WITH plans specifically tailored FOR that technology. And the we LOST the national will to continue to go to the moon. Now that technology is OBSOLETE and so there has to be new plans that are made with NEW technology...WHICH is BEING done as we speak.
I'm simply aghast that you don't understand such simple concepts.
Makes no sense. If someone destroyed an old tube Television set and all the plans for making it, that doesn't mean TV technology is "lost".
What's weird is how you also can't account for "SEX" being written on the fake clouds on the fake NASA earth images...

Here it is again for your perusal: LOL
Just calm down. It’s okay. NASA is a Nazi-staffed, liberal organization who lie, just like other liberal orgs...
... and being staffed by actual Hitler era Nazis, who were occultists hell bent (literally) on establishing the New Nazi Reich or New World Order...
they are going to love lying while taking our money for doing so.
It’s okay. God is in control, nothing is getting past Him.
No. It means that you're taking a quote and then twisting, bending and folding it so that it fits into your conspiracy theory. That's ALL that's happening here.
You trying to play the "NASA is liberal" card just because you're on freerepublic doesn't negate the fact that you're espousing whacky conspiracies that have no basis in truth.
NASA is an Islam loving,
Paris Accord loving, Climate Change-promulgating, organization.
NASA was originally founded with thousands of actual, Hitler-era Nazis.
It's only natural that all conservatives should be wary of any organzation with these positions, especially considering how many trillions of dollars NASA has taken from the American taxpayer. So we can help Muslims. And stop climate change. And fund new "going to the moon research" and technology, even though China apparently "got the technology back"...
Presumably you are also a conservative. Do you understand the significance of NASA’s liberal positions?
And how do you account for the fact China has supposedly gone to the moon, while NASA is still fumbling around because its destroyed its technology?
LOL, sorryAnd how about "SEX" being written in the clouds of NASA's fake earth images? LOL
It’s all okay, please calm down.
Just start with your explanation of “SEX” being written in the clouds of the fake earth images that NASA puts out.
This is the 3rd or 4th time I've covered this. It doesn't say "sex". You're seeing what you want to see. Or in your case you're seeing what someone else wants you to see. It's called Pareidolia.
It's as meaningless as seeing bunnies in clouds.
This is apparently enough to trick flat earth followers because 99% of them aren't even going to do any kind of investigation of these images.
So I know the answer to "why" and "how". I found it after about 15 minutes of googling. So I know YOUR view and I know the opposing view.
So to show that you've actually put some thought into this why don't you state the opposing view? Then we can have a rational discussion.
LOL, it’s okay, let’s just discuss why NASA was founded with so many (actual) Nazis from Hitler’s era.
Then explain why NASA has never posted a real “photograph” of the earth from space... all artist’s renditions.
You’ve still got nothin’ but what the Libs at NASA want us to believe. Why?
So you're not interested in the truth of the meme you posted? Someone takes two pictures, puts them side by side, asks a question and you're really not interested in "how" or the "why"?
Then explain why NASA has never posted a real photograph of the earth from space... all artists renditions.
Out of curiosity what is a "real" photograph to you?
If the earth is flat, what’s on the other side?
You keep on forgetting to discuss the historical truth of real, anti-Semitic Holocaust racist perps and murderers, who worked with Hitler, being in on the foundation of NASA.
Discussing this with you is like arguing with an evolutionist, who’ll tell you that you can break a watch into tiny pieces, toss it all up in the air, and “chance” will reassemble all the parts into a working timepiece.
