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.

They could have sought out a Hillary or Bernie supporter, but that would have gone against the narrative.
Oh, okay. Next time I’m at the grocery store, I’ll ask the kid in the produce department where their ‘oblate-spheroids’ are...................
I think that I saw somewhere that if ya drained all the H2O off the planet, the ERF is shaped more like a peanut or egg.
I say it’s more like an almond joy bar but Hey that’s just me, I got a sweet tooth.
I’ve never heard of “Pastafarians”-or are you referring to the dreadlocked, ganga-smoking “Rastafarians” of Jamaica and couple of other islands? They are completamente loca...
And there WERE dragons!!
I turned right around and came back.

I wonder if any of them used GPS to get there?
Statement regarding Traditional Pastafarian Headgear:
Allow me to confirm that the wearing of a Colander is a tradition in the Pastafarian faith. Not all followers dress so formally, but it is a common practice for us to do so while making official identification documents. As you know, religion plays a serious part in many people’s lives, including the wearing of specific clothing. Believers over the years have sometimes unfortunately experienced resistance, mockery, or even discrimination for simply following the guidelines of their religion.
Thankfully case law has repeatedly affirmed that believers have a constitutionally-protected right to wear such clothing in nearly all public situations including: work, school, while taking identification photos, even in the courtroom — provided that the clothing does not cause undo harm. That is to say, that religious clothing is with very few exceptions a protected right.
We, the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, are not a litigious group but of course we, along with the ACLU and others, have an interest in defending the individual rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and the laws of the United States.
Thank you for your cooperation and May You Be Touched by His Noodly Appendage.
Sincerely,
Bobby Henderson,
Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster
The Aisle Seat Society met in Denver?
No wonder young Dims think the north pole will melt in 5 years! They think the sun never stops shining on it! :)

Get in a boat.
Start sailing West.
Return to where you started.
Yes, but if you want to meet actual aliens, there's an extra charge.
They came from all around the globe to attend the Flat Earth conference.
This is the biggest hype in the world.
Meant to make sophisticated people think any and all conservatives have similar views.
Meant to be able to contrast with “knowing” such truths as climate change is the most important thing on Earth.
If you don’t accept the doctrine of “climate change” you’re a Flat Earther equivalent.
The edge is a few miles south of Bay City, Texas.
Go to YouTube and do a search for Flat Earth. There are quite literally thousands...maybe tens of thousands of video about it. Crazy stuff but they are absolutely serious. I watched a few one day trying to catch the joke. There is NO JOKE.
I wonder how many people have figured out the flat earth effort. It’s an effort to build propaganda in a generic way. Convincing people that the earth is flat is only an exercise towards a larger, much more dangerous goal: global government by oligarchs, I suspect.
In other words, the really, really big lie.
Pastafarian. People who try to get their driver’s licence photo while wearing a colander on their head. Claiming religious regalia.
They do. A Radio Show I listen to, discusses these guys at length.
You should look up the one who tried to launch himself high enough to see the curvature of the earth. Used his Winnebago as a launch pad. It didn't end well.
