By 2018 he’d decided to attend Take On the World, a Christian conference promoting flat-Earth theory, about an hour from his home. Wolfe had been full-on “flat,” as believers refer to themselves, for almost a year, ever since he stumbled across YouTube videos promoting a biblical flat-Earth model when researching a sermon on the Great Flood. Still, certain Christians, like Wolfe, preach that the idea is supported by a literal interpretation of the Bible. The deeply unpopular theory erroneously posits that the planet is flat as a pancake and (according to many) contained beneath a dome. Wolfe believes that association was his “flat Earth” belief, which he’d kept under wraps in order to avoid this kind of situation. The flat earther adds the criminals were actually "loaded off the ships into the waters, drowning before they could see land ever again".This article was adapted from Kelly Weill’s recent book, Off the Edge. "It's a hoax, made for us to believe that Britain moved over their criminals to someplace," Shelley Floryd wrote on Facebook. In a Facebook post since deleted but still being spread thanks to the very real powers of screenshots, a Flat Earther recently shared her belief that "Australia is not real". The Sydney Opera House, which some people believe is actually in South America. News of the conference brought to light a slightly old conspiracy theory that keeps making the rounds occasionally: that the entire country of Australia is nothing but a hoax. The whole country - which as you know is pretty massive - does not exist, according to some Flat Earther conspiracy theorists. Unsurprisingly, the conference included many bizarre theories, including the one about how gravity doesn't exist and even a juicy conspiracy theory about our very real neighbours over in Australia. More than 200 people attended a Flat Earthers conference in Birmingham, UK, in April because apparently there are still that many (and even more) people who truly believe the world is flat.
