Hollow Earth Expedition?

It would seem that the pattern of various seismic waves would suggest that a hollow earth is extremely unlikely.Planetary ScienceNote the illustration of S and P waves at the above website.

I'm really not interested in what internet cranks have to say.If they have the "theory-to-end-all-theories" they should submit it to peer-reviewed journals, where the real stuff hangs out.

"This business will get out of control! It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it!"

A Dyson sphere?

Science fiction is traditionally based on sound science.Many such works, however, extrapolate into the future. An example would be the so-called "double-talk" drive that permits faster than light travel--interstellar travel just doesn't work without this extrapolation. Readers will forgive these extrapolations if the other science is sound and it is introduced in a plausible manner.But too much of that and you end up writing fantasy whether you meant to or not.

How about we discuss ideas that have been in circulation since the Enlightenment?

Your post is in our Science Forums. Here, you have to expect that evidence is required to support one's claims. The bible is not evidence! It is subject to multiple interpretations, as it is littered with allegory, parables, and allusions, and has been translated from one language to another several times. And the selection of books to be included, or rejected, has been very subjective.As Heinlein noted,

The Bible is such a gargantuan collection of conflicting values that anyone can prove anything from it.

Your choice. But realize that the fact that you are dodging our replies suggests some things about the strength of your evidence.

In regard to creationists and creationist websites, perhaps a few humble words of wisdom from The Sensuous Curmudgeon might be of interest.In a recent blog, dealing with a letter to the editor by a creationist, The Sensuous Curmudgeon concludes:

Geoffrey’s letter is a very good one. Why? Because it supports your Curmudgeon’s often-expressed opinion on the futility of debating or even talking to adult creationists. If someone is still a creationist when he’s past his student years, there’s no way to break through whatever it is that grips him. Although we hear occasional tales of successful de-programming efforts, those are extremely rare. The effort may seem worth the bother to you, but we think it’s an unproductive expenditure of time.

Creationist Wisdom #467: Incurable | The Sensuous Curmudgeon

Hmmmm. I can think of a couple of examples, one from this very thread, which suggest the Curmudgeon is entirely correct.

We can gather data through a variety of methods, and then make attempts to analyze and organize that data.Why do you say we can't do all of this?

Is there some particular reason you are choosing to believe old tribal myths rather than the findings of modern scientific?
