Wow, brining up a religion to prove a scientific point.

I think it's pretty safe to say that I've won this arguement. You might have had a point if I was a member of the church, believed in religion, or even brought up any religious point.

With this hollow earth theory, volcanos could still be explained by subsiding crust.
PLATE TECTONICS in general, however, would require an explanation.

the point is that you need only trust a member of the priest-class or others specially appointed to disseminate 'knowledge' to the masses

i already know what hollow earth is. when i asked you why it was 'discredited' across the board, your answer was 'gravity'. flesh out what you mean by just 'gravity'

Shouldn't the burden of proof be on the person making the outlandish claim?

Why don't YOU flesh your shit out. Fleshy.

until someone has been to the center of the earth, all things are speculation

but if we compile the wisdom of the ancient and not so ancient cultures, most of them conclude the existence of an underworld, like Tartarus.

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

Philippians 2:9-10

this is a logical fallacy. no degree is needed. proof or peer reviewed theories are needed.

they were also under the impression that the earth was flat. the "wisdom from the ancients" on issues like this was pure speculation based on nothing but anthropomorphizing the world around them and attempts to make the world around them make sense in terms and concepts they could readily understand.

I have to agree with Dave on this.

There are plenty of well researched theories to back up me.

However, if you make the claim that there is an ancient civilization living under the Earth, which has a small sun in the center, you have to give some proof.

I mean honestly, you've put nothing forward, but keep asking me to.

When did I do that? And doesn't the theory of planetary formation go against Christian ideas of how the universe was made?

I really do not believe this hollow earth theory so i am not supporting Gunther or whoever, but i must mention that Eastern traditions knew of the orbits and the shape of earth long before the west.

Most of the west approaching the fall of Constantinople in 1453 had lost touch with ancient knowledge and science. Alexander the Great although brutal was good at spreading that seed of empire which spread knowledge all over. After Europe was pillaged by the Christians a lot of knowledge was lost in the first millennium common era.
of the

Increased contact with the East led to translations of old hellenic texts.
This became a catalyst for the renaissance revival of knowledge and the re-understanding of universe and planet earth in a more humanistic tradition.

There is a supported argument that the Rig Veda devolves theses revelations about the orbits and shape of earth over 6000 years ago and was preserved by eastern writings in the beginning of the common era and then translated to the West later on.

although i did not know that, you may notice that no reference to specific "ancient knowledge" was mentioned other than an extremely vague reference to a "hollow earth" story from the past, a story i would equate with a similar mindset as the flat earth story.

Yeh it was more an offshoot i guess but is very interesting nonetheless. BTW hollow earth is pretty loony and i dont think Gunter can take the conclusion of underworlds in ancient philosophy as proof that the earth is hollow and full of little demons lol. I remember seeing a documentary on it somewhere.

way to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

they were also capable of creating wonders like the Temple of Jupiter and the Pyramids, something that we can't reproduce, even today.
