Since so much has been written and discussed on this allegedly “Far-Out”topic, I feel it is worth examining the concept of a Hollow Earth a little further, if for no other reason than to satisfy the curiosity of any readers who may find this idea of interest. That it is an interesting concept, cannot be denied, even though it may well be scoffed and sneered at by my more learned scientific thinkers and scholars. However, since these same people also deride the concept of God and Jesus Christ, I am not terribly concerned about making their lips curl a tad more. Obviously those extremely profound words of Shakespeare, uttered by his Danish Prince, Hamlet: “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy” carry no particular meaning for the “omniscient sages” such scholars imagine themselves to be!

If it was hollow it would not transmit seismic waves as far as it does. Doesn't matter what your philosophy. Guess science proves its worth once again.

Our Earth Is Hollow

Why are “Hollow Earthers” simply not getting anywhere in their
sincere quest for the fabled “Inner Earth”, which is believed to exist
within Earth’s 800-miles thick outer crustal shell?
Can it be because orthodox science is correct in believing that our
planet (like all the other terrestrial planets) is a solid-crusted and
semi-molten ball of rock, through to its central core? Or is it because
they have no possible way of knowing if it is actually solid, or not?
Or could it, as many have suggested, be due to some world-wide
secretive “Cover-Up” by powerful global political power groups and all
the scientific organizations which they control?
Here, acting as an alternative-science investigator, I will endeavour to
present a even-handed but critical examination of the prevailing
concepts in an effort to discover if there is any basis of real truth
behind the present-day revival of all the time-honoured “Hollow Earth”
reports,myths, legends and theories.
Read on and decide for yourself what is the real truth behind the
whole concept of a hollow inner earth, and what a political and
mercenary power-group on the surface might stand to gain or lose by
the honest revelation or admission of the existence of such a vast
new territory, which would immediately become available for all
manner of exploitation and territorial annexation by the nation who
discovered it - if it were proved to actually exist!

The Earth is not hollow. Certain types of waves produced by earthquakes travel differently through various material and by looking at the way the waves travel and how they are recorded by various seismographs around the world, the earth's interior can be determined. The mantle (the layer just below the crust that we live on) is the thickest layer and made up of molten rock, which is where the magma/lava originates. The core of the earth is made up of two layers, a liquid outer core and a solid inner core (which is also responsible for the electromagnetic field around the earth). Although I commend you on looking "outside of the box" and considering alternative theories, there are many holes within the theory that have led to it being considered inaccurate. Also, if you going to ask a question within the scientific realm, I'd recommend not insulting everyone by making a prejudice comment to all. There are plenty of geologist and other scientist who believe in God. It would be as inaccurate as saying all religious people denounce all science.

There is no evidence whatsoever to support the idea of a hollow earth. The simple concept of gravity should give you an idea about that. Now if you mean that the earth is hollow, because most of an atom is made up of empty space, then that would be different. But that's not the way you phrased it. Who in the world fed that stuff to you?

You remember the old Hippy term "Far Out". Very good! You is there brudder! My oh my. Admiral Byrd strikes again. The Earth can't be hollow because of gravitational condensation. Apply a bit of physics and it could go a long way. Can you say physics? Very good! Now let's put Mr. Hamster in the microwave. Can you say microwave? By the way, you really ramble. Can you say ramble? Very good! Triple Sheesh!!!

Well, I am not going to scoff at you or any one for any idea but as of now, with all the instruments of science, there is no evidence to show that earth is hollow and on the other hand, all the evidence suggests that earth is solid with a molten core. There could be some fairly large pockets which are hollow inside, but not the whole earth as a sort of hollow sphere.

The mass, volume, and density can easily be calculated for every celestial body in the solar system through the use of astronomy and our knowledge of physics, gravity, and orbital mechanics. That's thanks to Copernicus, Gallileo, Newton, etc.
If the Earth was hollow in some places, it would have to be super dense in others. Perhaps that's possible, but extremely unlikely given what we know about planetary formation.

Yo Richy, if anyone told you unequivically that the earth IS hollow, then their heads must be hollow too! Is it possible that the earth is hollow? Well, anything is possible until proven otherwise, but as far as I know, there is much more science to support the theory that it is not hollow.

For you to equate scientists and scholars with Non -Believers is pure idiocy ..... one does not follow the other ... there is no conflict with science and the Bible ... the only conflict is with uneducated fundamentalists trying to explain natural history using the Bible ....
The earth is very solid .... and this fact has nothing at all to do with Theology of any sort ....just good science

The King James Bible is clear that hell is in the centre of the Earth:
2 Peter 2:4 this verse speaks of the location of hell when some of the angels sinned against God:
"For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgement."
According to the Bible, Hell is DOWN.
Amos 9:2 "Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down."
Isaiah 14:15 "Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit." this is Isaiah's prophecy concerning Lucifer.
The Bible refers to hell as a "furnace" (Rev 9:2, Mat 13:42, 50) and a lake of fire (Rev 20:15).
As for many of the scientific thinkers and scholars, evolutionists, this verse goes out to them:
Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
