Eltanin Sadachbia There's ALWAYS crap going on. You can't tell me that those people who lived in 1348-50 had less crap going on for them than we do now. During the Black Death Europe lost nearly 2/3 of its entire population. The 1300's was marked by worldwide hardships. There were droughts and famine in North America for over 20 years. Earthquakes in the Middle East, China, and southern Europe. There was too much rain in Europe causing crop failure, and malnutrition. Not to mention wars, religious and ethnic persecution, and political upset and unrest....Does any of this sound familiar? I could point out similarities throughout each century. The only reason there seems to be more crap now is because there are more people, and we have means of instant communication now, so we hear it almost as soon as it happens. If we base disaster per person affected, and we apply that ratio throughout history, then we see that less people are being killed by said disasters than ever before. Sure. But it's only recently that we've developed the power to significantly impact the entire planet. We now have serious environmental problems and the power to destroy the planet though. In my environmental science class, they're saying that there's more disasters. Just because less people are dying form them, doesn't mean they aren't there.

Artto xxEternallyBluexx I think with all the c-r-a-p that's going on, the end will be soon, but I know it's not gonna be on the day all everyone thinks it will be... Christians have been thinking that the end is just around the corner for centuries now... There's a whole bunch of prophecies that were supposed to be fulfilled first that weren't until now. Plus there seems to be a 'live like you're dying' type of attitude in the church, and in some of the Bible, so that attitude could extend to the world.

That is why crazy people are my heros, they are always saying how the world will end tomorrow or the day after that.
There is always going to be SOMEONE who believes the destruction of the earth is near and a day wont pass by that some crazy myth like Planet X will start up.Except the Bible also says we'll know the season, just not the day.

Classy Dame Captain_Shinzo brainnsoup Eltanin Sadachbia brainnsoup Lumanny the Space Jew No frickin' way. As I understand it, even the Mayans didn't believe that. 2012 the world would end in 2012. 2012 was just when their calendar ended and a new one was to begin. Does your wall calendar last forever? Or does it end on December 31? Do you think the world's going to end on December 31 when you run out of pages?
Also, I'm not sure if you own a PS3, but a few weeks ago a calendar problem caused all of the old systems to go crazy and for that day the world did end for gamers across the country. Think about that. XDI blame Bush and Obama... stare I blame Jon and Kate Gosselin stare I blame the purple-spotted, underground, troll people who will surely rise up and overthrow us all. O_o

In my environmental science class, they're saying that there's more disasters. Just because less people are dying form them, doesn't mean they aren't there. It sounds like your Environmental Science Class is pushing theories on you that aren't proven facts. Just because there are more disasters happening now than have ever been recorded as they happened, doesn't mean that the world has never experienced so many disasters at once. It has been proven that the Earth has had periods of turbulence, and just because we are finally approaching one of those periods while we are watching, doesn't make it the end of the world. There are also 3 periods of history that could be interpreted to fulfill Revelation, so what proves to you that this is the "REAL" end. As a Christian, I don't think that we should be so worried about the end. I also feel that we shouldn't be so worried about formalities. If we are so focused on convincing ourselves that this is it, and worrying about whether we are ready for it, and trying so hard to be sure that OUR actions are what they should be, then we ultimately miss the big picture. We shouldn't be following our chosen path because we are worried about what happens to us in the next life, we should be focusing on caring for the people we come across in this life. If we are doing all we can to help everyone we meet to the best of our ability, then we won't be sinning, because our attention will be on positive actions. The fact is, there is an end of this life for everyone. Whether it comes all at once, or for 1 of us at a time, it's still a fact. The only thing we can be sure of is what is happening now. So what are you going to do with NOW? Why does it really matter how it happens? Who's to say you will even make it to the end, so why don't you just focus on how you treat others now?

There has always been serious environmental problems to destroy the planet.... There has been an ice age, countless other storms and natural disasters. The only reason why it seems worse is because of instant communication now days and the fact there is more people on the planet.

I haven't seen that type of attitude in the churches. I've just seen them teaching the same types of messages that they do every other sunday.

The first, Y2K, was a silly claim made by their clock time ending.
* However, that is just silly. *
The other was some religious bull.
So I must agree, destruction theories are pretty lame. razz

I thought it was just an excuse for the "satanist" kiddies at my high school to carve pentagrams into stuff.

However, a sensible person knows it doesn't take millions of years to do that.
