I do not restrict my beliefs with new age "science," most of which is from the devil. Inside the Earth is paradise of which Jesus spoke on the Cross. There is a beautiful, tropical paradise within the Earth. And that's only part of it. There are also advanced civilizations, which Admiral Byrd observed during his flight over (or rather, into) the North Pole. Some of these civilizations are good; others are of the devil (they're the Children of Satan).
The ice at the northern pole is a mirage. Yes, there is a lot of ice; but there is also a hole which we cannot see. Well, not usually, anyway! I believe this hole is about 700 - 1000 miles in diameter. The crew will not be aware they're entering the hole.
Within the crust itself (in caverns) is the Abyss, where fallen angels are literally chained. Thankfully the crew will not come into contact with them.

Sure, only 1000 miles, which is about 1609 km. The Earth is 40007.86 km in circumference, so there is a hole with a diameter of 4% of the earth's circumference and we have mysteriously failed to notice it.
I'd almost believe you.
Lets take the minimum diameter (700 miles) and then (if my math is correct), you are proposing a hole approximately 10 degrees in diameter. Assuming that the hole was centered on the north geographic pole, that would mean that the northern edge of greenland and some of the other islands up there were inside the hole. That's pretty big for us not to have noticed, what with us sailing submarines and such underneath it, and walking on the ice to the north pole, and things like that. Your hole, in facet, would mean that there wasn't much ice at all. Please reconsider the scale of your idiocy.
That's right, a tropical paradise within the earth. No natural sunlight. Any cave I've ever seen is quite a far stretch from being a paradise. Lost civilizations, I'll have a look for them on GoogleEarth!
"I do not restrict my beliefs with new age "science"...."
Actually, I'd say it's more that you don't restrict your New Age beliefs with SCIENCE. Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth was science fiction , not meant to be taken as a documentary. The biblical references you make are nonsense, and that business about Byrd was pure balderdash. Please learn to tell the difference between fantasy and reality, and recognize that tabloids are not exactly rigorously scientific.
ND: I was wondering the same thing; B(r)ent and "dad" seem to have quite similar, though mutually exclusive, delusions. Perhaps they just have the same drug supplier.

"dad" award for fundie science fiction excellence.
Like seriously, in the hands of a good writer, I would totally pay for a book depicting like, the tropical paradise inside the Earth, where the warring civilizations of God and Satan exist, as discovered by Admiral Byrd in his voyage INto the North Pole. That's some good crackfic.
Actually, would anyone be interested in taking some of the claims of dad et al and writing some short stories based on them? :D That sounds fun.
"You got this out of Lovecraft, didn't you? Or if not you're howling mad."
Yes, yes he did. It's from either "The Fundamentalist Over Innsmouth" or "At the Mountains of Fundamentalism," both written in 1931. In either case it seems B®ent has omitted about 3/4 of the adjectives which, in my opinion, really damages the punch of Lovecraft's original.
I haven't heard the old "hollow earth" theory for years. Somebody wrote a whole book about it once, back in the 60's, I think (and Jules Verne, of course).

But then, where's Santa Claus? Down in the hole?
BTW, the ice cap has been melting completely through in the summer lately. It's not clear why, since President Bush determined that global warming is a myth, and we know he's never made a mistake. The Russians visited the North Pole by ship a couple of years ago and took a picture of it. It was open ocean.

So you know the location of paradise. Why aren't you digging a hole in your backyard right now?
He reckons there's a mini-sun insid the earth, that's what stops it from being dark. Phew, one problem sorted, another created from having a mass of fusing superheated hydrogen bubbling away insustainably within the world.
the mantle is molten silica, outer core is molten iron and nickel, inner core is solid or vitreous iron, all under such pressure that would make the ocean floor look like a vacuum.
The Magical, Mystical, Paradise-Centered North Pole. Explains aurora borealis for me: Neon 'DIS MUST BE DA PLACE!!!' lights!
Not much fundieness here though, he never once condemned atheists to roam the earth in zombie-fashion trying to outrun dinahshores. Or was that, dinosaurs ...
That's right Bunt! There's a hollow Earth even though the kinematics exactly match the slowing rotation over the last 4 billion years of a solid Earth theory.
And these tropical plants receive their sunlight from where exactly? There won't be any direct sunlight coming through, it'd be in perpetual shadow like a cave.
And of course the water doesn't flood in because gravity points down which is why Australians need velcro boots to stop falling into the sky.
Captain Walton Award? He certainly seemed enthusiastic enough about what he might find upon reaching True North.
"[The pole] ever presents itself to my imagination as the region of beauty and delight.... There snow and frost are banished; and, sailing over a calm sea, we may be wafted to a land surpassing in wonders and in beauty every region hitherto discovered on the habitable globe."
"Imagination" being the operative word, my fictional buddy. I luvs ya, Mrs. Shelley.
700-1000 miles in diameter! Holy crap, watch out, Canada! You might be swallowed into the hole of idiocy, too!

glyptodon, don't give Tim LaHaye any ideas.
B®ent should be BS-Sent for all the bullshit here. I would also call Poe or troll, but I have heard the same crap from preachers on shortwave- the Earth is hollow and full of oil. The oil crisis is part of a New World Order secret plot to enslave us all. UFOs have installed stome of the top leaders in the world, and always hahe, just look at the Great Pyramid, which is at the center of the Earth! (How something can be at the center of the surface of a sphere is beyond me
) Protect yourself by buying gold now, like from our sponsor! Fundie paranoia never ends.
This is probably a bastardisation of a really weird theory that emerged 2-300 years ago. The theory was invented because people at the time couldn't explain away global wind currents, and felt that the only way these wind currents could exist is if air circulated along the circumfrence of the globe, dipped beneath the earth at the poles, and came out at the opposite end.
The Fallen Anegls are new though.
I think the lad might actually be referring to this book http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/r/rudy-rucker/hollow-earth.htm , apart for confusing the South Pole for the North.
And, Brent, FYI - in caverns the most abundant fallen things are those that come out the rear end of various Chiroptera species - to translate for you, bat-shit. Which is, oddly enough, what seems to be inside your head, too. I wonder if it's pure coincidence...
Very imaginative.
Bent, please venture forth to the north pole with a camera. We can't take your word on its own merit because we follow the scientific method and require, at minimum, a good visual record.
"The crew will not be aware they're entering the hole."
Like that time a girl raped me while I was asleep.
That is all I have to say about this.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
