Voices — Believers in Their Own Words

Introduction

This page is a directory, not an anthology. The voices gathered here have each reached the same conclusion by their own path — some from the text, some from observation, some from both. They are not a committee. They do not speak with one voice. They disagree with each other on details, on emphasis, on method. What they share is the starting point: the text was read as written, the horizon was looked at honestly, and the conclusion was the same one the earliest believers reached.

You are not asked to agree with any of them. You are invited to listen. Each entry includes a link to their work — a video, a book, a podcast, a debate. Find the one that speaks to you. Sit with it. Decide for yourself.

I. Modern Believers

Flat Earth Dave

A born-again Christian and independent researcher. Host of The Flat Earth Podcast. Creator of the DITRH YouTube channel. Developer of the Flat Earth Sun, Moon & Zodiac Clock app. Has appeared on more than thirty television and radio programs. Conducted the most-watched flat earth debate in history.

His approach is observational and textual. He does not begin with a conclusion and work backward. He begins with the question: "what would I expect to see if the globe model were correct?" and then looks.

His stated motivation, in his own words: "Let's just say there is an adversary, there is a devil, there is a Satan. His whole job would be to try to convince the world that God doesn't exist. He's done an incredible job convincing people with the idea that we're just on a random speck in an infinite universe."

Eric Dubay

An American author, former university professor, and founder of the International Flat Earth Research Society (IFERS). His work rekindled the modern flat earth movement around 2012, introducing the 19th-century Zetetic tradition to a new generation through YouTube and self-published books.

His central argument is that the globe model is not a scientific conclusion but a cosmological assumption imposed on the text and on observation. He frames the question theologically: "Why hide the flat earth? Because Satan wants evolution and needs this spinning ball thing flying through space. He can't have people knowing there is a firmament over a motionless flat earth. That screams God made it."

Major works: 200 Proofs Earth Is Not a Spinning Ball (2015), The Flat-Earth Conspiracy (2014), Flat Earth FAQ, Flatlantis (2020). Featured in the 2021 documentary Level.

Caspian Sarginson

A British author and researcher who has produced a substantial body of work on the biblical text and the shape of the earth. His approach is primarily textual — he works through the Bible verse by verse, examining the original languages and the historical context of each passage.

Major works: Flat Earth: What The Bible Actually Says, The Flat Earth Bible: A Detailed Explanation of Biblical Flat Earth, 200 Bible Verses Proving A Flat Stationary Earth, The Doctrine of the Shape of the Earth.

The Flat Earth Bible (Project)

A collaborative, ongoing project to produce a complete, verse-by-verse examination of the biblical text as it bears on the shape and structure of the earth. The project includes original language word studies, historical context, and cross-referencing. It is the most comprehensive textual resource available for the biblical cosmological model.

II. Clergy and Religious Leaders

The following are not a list of endorsements. They are a list of religious leaders who, in their own time, read the text and spoke publicly about what they found. Some are historical. Some are contemporary. All are documented.

The Rev. Robert Jasper — 1878

A Baptist minister in Virginia. Preached a sermon in 1878 arguing from Revelation 7:1: "I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth. So we are living on a four-cornered earth; then, my friends, will you tell me how in the name of God can an earth with four corners be round?"

Wilbur Glenn Voliva — 1915 to 1942

A Pentecostal minister in Zion, Illinois. Preached flat earth doctrine for twenty-seven years. He was not a fringe figure. He was a published author, a community leader, and a man who read the text and concluded that it described a flat earth.

The Zetetic Clergy — 19th Century

The Universal Zetetic Society (1893–1904) included among its membership clergy from multiple denominations. Their stated objective was "the propagation of knowledge related to Natural Cosmogony in confirmation of the Holy Scriptures, based on practical scientific observation." The Society published Earth: A Monthly Magazine of Sense and Science (1901–1904). The membership was not a single denomination. It was a cross-denominational group of believers who read the text and found the same cosmology.

Contemporary Clergy

A number of contemporary ministers, pastors, and theologians have spoken publicly on the biblical cosmology. They are documented — in sermons, in published articles, in video recordings. A search for "biblical cosmology" or "firmament" combined with the name of your own denomination will find them.

The question to ask of any clergy member is not "do you believe the earth is flat?" The question is: "have you read Genesis 1 in the original Hebrew? Have you read the Geneva marginal notes? Have you looked at the horizon and asked what you actually see?"

If the answer to those questions is yes, and the conclusion is the one presented on this site, then you are in the company of two thousand years of believers.

III. Debates and Public Appearances

The following are not endorsements of the arguments made. They are documented instances where the biblical cosmological model was presented publicly, in open debate, to a general audience. Watch them. Form your own opinion.

Flat Earth Dave — Television and Radio

Dave Weiss has appeared on more than thirty television and radio programs, including mainstream outlets. In each appearance, he presents the same core argument: the text describes a bounded, stationary earth with a firmament above, and the observation matches the text. The responses from hosts and opponents range from engagement to dismissal. Watch a few. Note the pattern.

Eric Dubay — YouTube and Documentary

Eric Dubay's YouTube channel contains over 250 videos, with more than 29 million total views. His content ranges from short observational arguments to longer presentations covering the text, the history, and the observation. He also appeared in the 2021 documentary Level, which follows the modern flat earth movement from multiple perspectives.

IV. A Note on Tone

You will notice that the voices on this page do not speak with anger. They do not speak with mockery. They do not laugh at the reader. They present the text, they present the observation, and they invite the reader to look.

This is intentional. The case does not need volume. The text is clear. The history is documented. The horizon is available to anyone with eyes.

The mockery you will find elsewhere — the cartoons, the snickers, the dismissive editorials — is not an argument. It is a deflection. It is the response of a position that cannot engage the text on its own terms, so it attacks the person who reads it.

You do not have to defend yourself against that mockery. You only have to look at the text. You only have to look at the horizon. You only have to ask: "what do I actually see?"
