On this subject, has anyone seen the preview of the program "Dinosaurs: Return to Life?"? I saw the preview earlier today. From what I can make out, the program talks about how science behind recreating the dinosaur genome is coming close to reality. I'm hoping to catch it. It's going to be on the Discovery Channel I believe on Sunday, the 17th of this month, around.. 8 PM Eastern time I think. |

Maybe you can ask someone to see if they can catch it for you in case you miss it and get it to you somehow. |

Most people do? I must say I doubt most people would believe such a thing. |

Isn't that some name like the hollow earth theory? I didn't think many believed in that anymore. Though many have used the idea for stories, like Edgar Rice Burroughs. |

What view do the supporters of such a theory take of volcanoes or the shifting continental plates? What is that theory based on other than fictions by Edgar Alan Poe and Jules Verne (and a couple of other authors)? |

Just take look around on Youtube, there are folks who are nuts about the theory... conspiracy theorist mostly. But these groups still exsistsand they have their own set of scientific explanations |

I guess they are related to the flat earth society that I heard about, but no details. |

Hollow Earth is an interesting theory but I'm not sure if I believe it. |

From the scientific point of view just don't. The origin of the theory goes back to times when mankind only just got started with the natural sciences and in their overenthusiasm they came up with many theories which cannot stand the test of modern scientific evidence. I don't want to sound patronizing. After all natural scientists in those days didn't have knowledge of the more recent discoveries (even the shifting of continents and the existence of a former "supercontinent" Pangea is a relatively new discovery, only about a 100 years old), but nevertheless we can be certain today that there is no hollow space within our earth whether we want to "believe" it or not. |

I think they would have found any large hollow space with the earth by now with the various instruments and other means they have. Though if someone wants to use it in their fiction no reason they can't. |

To quote what I said about this if they were alive than it would just like the Flinstones. |
