[Theory of a Hollow Earth?]
To me it makes sense that the earth is hollow. If you take a wheel for instance and put all the weight in the middle, it isn't hard to spin but doesn't spin for long. However, if you put all the weight on the outsides it is harder to get spinning, but spins for a long time.
I have also heard the theory that the 10 lost tribes of Israel could be living in hollow earth, which could make sense in that the conditions were different back then and it may have been possible for them to make that journey. But then, Govt would probably know about them which kind of goes against the prophecy??? However, somehow they need to make their trek to the USA at one stage or another. In a cold winter you can cross over Russia and Alaska to get to the USA. Regardless, what do you guys think of the theory?

Umm, I will go with "you don't have a theory, you have a wacky collection of random thoughs, none of which make any sense". But please play again.
It's too bad that the Earth isn't a flat, disc shaped planet rather than, you know, a sphere. Because then your analogy might work.
Here's a better analogy for the earth: grab some mud, and try to make a ball out of it. Then grab some mud, and try to make a hollow ball out of it.
I'll wait...
"I have also heard the theory that the 10 lost tribes of Israel could be living in hollow earth, .. However, somehow they need to make their trek to the USA at one stage or another"
WTF!!!!!!
Why are they going to the USA??
Larry, Curly, Moe and Shemp are living inside the hollow earth. They would have found their way out long ago, but they keep bumping into things.
"I have also heard the theory that the 10 lost tribes of Israel could be living in hollow earth, "
I have heard the theory that the 10 lost tribes could be living on the planet Vulcan.
"Regardless, what do you guys think of the theory? "
I think you should look it up in the dictionary so you will know what it means. Then you should use a different word to describe the results of your typing. Perhaps "gibberish" or "dumbfuckery".
The Nazis actually really tried and expedition into the center of the earth (at least what I found on this website, it's probably bull).
They were crazy, and so are you.
If the earth is hollow, why doesn't deep sea drilling pop it?
It seems that no matter how crazy someone gets, they're still able to log on the internet and post the crazy shit.
Why does the wheel stop spinning?

No, stupid. FRICTION.
FRICTION in the bearings and friction with the air.
Show me the bearings the Earth is mounted on and then we shall talk moment of inertia.
Not to mention how strong the Earth would need to be to resist falling into itself and collapsing, and how dense a shell would need to be to have this much mass.

Haven't you ever heard that an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force? Forces such as friction with air would eventually stop a spinning wheel...but what's the definition of "space," genius?

That's not a theory, that's a hypothesis at best, but I'd more freely term it as a "guess". Do you know how much the pressure increases just a few miles below the surface of the earth? If the 10 lost tribes are at the center of the earth then they're collectively the size of a pea (at best).
You fail at astrophysics as well as geology. Go directly back to school, do not pass go, do not collect $200 dollars.
Are you guys sure this quote is attributed to the correct site? Seems more like something from the LSD Forum.
edit: Dang! Others beat me to it. Oh well, greats minds and all that.
If the Earth is hollow then where does magma come from?
And have you heard of the laws of motion? A body in motion will remain in motion until another force is acted upon it. In space there is no air, so there is no air friction, so if something starts spinning it will continue spinning until something else changes that direction of motion. As so far there has been nothing large enough to prevent the Earth from spinning, as it would take nothing less then a colesion with a planet destroying meteor to stop the Earth.

Yes, they believed the entranc to the innerpart of earth to be located at the poles.
But obviously they mistook some words and instead of sending expeditions to the north- and/or southpole they invaded Poland, the land of the poles :D
I have also heard the theory that the 10 lost tribes of Israel could be living in hollow earth, which could make sense in that...
No. There is no scenario in which that could make ANY sense at all. You are an idiot. You fail at logic.
"Regardless, what do you guys think of the theory?" You have not presented a theory, you presented a hypothesis, now back it up with evidence.
I don't knoe how pack ice is in the Bering. Supposedly there was someone who crossed in the winter during the Cold War, was found by the Russians and caused an international incident. The only crossing we're certain of happened 10,000 years ago, when sea levels were lower during the last Ice Age. Those were not the lost tribes of Israel, but Siberians who became American Indians. Usually when I hear about the "lost tribes," it's some batshit identity preacher on shortwave claiming that the English and the Americans are descendants of the Israelis, and therefore God's chosen race. Blacks et al need not apply.
LDS Freedom Forum?
Try LSD.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
