Try thinking for yourself, look at the universe and you can see planets at all stages from Suns to gas planets to planets that go from Venus to the Earth to Mars.....and if everything started as gasses then it stands to reason that the next phase would be Plasma that changes the states of matter through to solids and liquids.
Now you look proper stupid don't ya

Yes, in the CRUST of the EARTH. Not in the MIDDLE of the earth.
Can someone please post a picture of the layers of our great planet so these folks understand ?
CRUST
MANTLE
OUTER CORE
INNER CORE
All the "openings" and "holes" and "caves" and "secret dwellings" that we have discovered from ancient civilizations, have all been in the earths CRUST.

No. This does NOT make the Hallow Earth theory more believable. Come on man. Are you serious ? There are no people living in the middle of the earth. Gah.
I'd say more, but I can't see through the tears. I am laughing that hard.
I bet that's what people would have said to the earth being round back before we had proof.

Nnnnno no no no no You are talking about something totally different. You are talking about ancient civilizations that actually DUG holes in the GROUND with tunnels and such and lived underground. That's very different than magical *white people living in the MIDDLE of the earth with an atmosphere and their own sun and trees and sh*t looking just like the surface of the earth. Totally different.
You're choosing to use the most mystical fantastical explanation for something none of us purported to be truth. I think it's much more likely an ancient civilization found a way to live underground far enough where you could call it a hollow area.

Sorry I must have missed something did I say hollow mantle theory? hollow core theory? hollow crust theory? no. Hollow earth would constitute any part of earth having hollow parts where a civilization could exist.

Very cool, not that I believe in the hollow earth theory. I think this gives more credence the expanding earth theory.
Is it possible that the earth is actually getting hotter starting from the center of the planet and expanding into a second sun. Soon there may be no mantle left to stand on?
Just a thought.
Yes but... that "crust mantle outer core and inner core" as much as you want to call it "fact" is only but a theory - it is the most acceptable one, but it is still just a theory - its not a fact because we never drilled anything past the crust - actually I think we only drilled a tiny % of the crust.
So in reality, I know it hurts but... its just as viable as "A Journey to the Center of the Earth" by Jules Verne...
A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Such fact-supported theories are not "guesses" but reliable accounts of the real world. The theory of biological evolution is more than "just a theory." It is as factual an explanation of the universe as the atomic theory of matter or the germ theory of disease. Our understanding of gravity is still a work in progress. But the phenomenon of gravity, like evolution, is an accepted fact.
The formal scientific definition of theory is quite different from the everyday meaning of the word. It refers to a comprehensive explanation of some aspect of nature that is supported by a vast body of evidence. Many scientific theories are so well established that no new evidence is likely to alter them substantially. For example, no new evidence will demonstrate that the Earth does not orbit around the sun (heliocentric theory), or that living things are not made of cells (cell theory), that matter is not composed of atoms, or that the surface of the Earth is not divided into solid plates that have moved over geological timescales (the theory of plate tectonics). One of the most useful properties of scientific theories is that they can be used to make predictions about natural events or phenomena that have not yet been observed.

"Just about all cave systems have been explored?"
That isn't even CLOSE to being correct!
Heck, just here locally we have a cave called Beauty Cave that is MAPPED at 17 miles. Chances are it is much larger than even that, but the problem is that it is a total pain in the arse to map caves beyond just a few miles. And the Earth's crust is 50 miles thick.
We have not mapped even 1% of Earth's cave systems. Anyone saying otherwise is talking out their two-hole.
Period.
