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.

The ironic thing is that all the flat erfers that got there by air flew in planes using Great Circle routing.
I think it is a put-on. My brother believes we never went to the moon. It’s more of an exercise in contraryism than anything else.
They are pretending they believe the earth is flat.
Let’s not let logic and technical details ruin a good story, lol.
I guess there is never any conference for round earthers.
Oblate Spheroid actually.
A microcosm of the collective IQ of a nation as a whole. We’re on a downward trajectory. Feel sorry for the kids of smart people having to deal with the morons in our society.
Thanks-Pastafarian es un broma-those people have way too much time on their hands-but the Flat Earth crowd probably does, too...
Optical illusion. The earth was standing on its edge when they snapped that.
We are heading into a DARK, DARK age.
Rotate her 90 degrees so we can verify.
Yeah but - someone just turns the lamp off at night.
And Church of the Subgenius, which the same kind of people also snicker at, is the same kind of deadly evil.
Been around the world as a Navy Quartermaster. I’ve lived the experiment. We used Spherical geometry to determine our position and course. This was the days before GPS. Most Freepers know all about this sort of thing. For those few who don’t, straighten up and start acting like you got some sense.
“Those people need to be institutionalized, and on IV-Thorazine-Lithium-Valium drips.”
Are they any worse than the 100 Million or so in this country who believe that Socialism is the answer, that America is evil, that only open borders and one world government can save us from immediate death due to climate change? If there’s a choice to be made between the two, I think I’ll side with the flat earthers.....
ummmmm, ok
Today I am on a hot/crazy matrix kick. I’ll give flat earthers and automatic 7 on the crazy index and she is hot. If her name isn’t Tiffany, i’m in.
Fun Zone!!
“The edge is a few miles south of Bay City, Texas.”
Actually, two of the edges are the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia, and New Yorkistan.
“I guess there is never any conference for round earthers.”
No conference for them. They are nothing but a bunch of white privileged deplorables.
