Turns out the people who thought the world was ending didn't know their bible quite as well as they thought.

Chairchucker as a Christian how do you feel about this kinda stuff? Doomsday prophecies etc. it would seem that it's usually fringe types that come off as having a screw loose, but people waiting around for the mother ship etc don't make a good image for Christian worship. or any religion, for that matter.

Totally believe the world will end. One day. But every single person (barring God) who ever thinks they know what day that is going to be and what form it will take is and will be wrong, and there are multiple verses that state almost exactly that.

hmm yeah even the totally scientific views think the world (and everything else) will eventually end, but most put that day very very far in the future, like prolly billions of years. in any event, neither science or religious views lead me to be concerned that the end is coming like next week or something.

Wasn't there supposed to be another end of the world a couple years ago? And one again back on 5/5/05? There was even a book out to prepare people for the event, remember seeing it on bookshelves at Walden's and other places.

A lot of people are expecting something major to come up (like the end of the world I suppose) because of all the natural catastrophes going on all around the world. Where we live here in the PNW folks are saying that we'll be next for the big earthquake since it has already hit all the other corners of the ring of fire. Only we're left to go. :yikes:

i don't think there has been an unusual number of natural disasters recently. they get more media coverage, perhaps, cuz there is, well, more media. there are earthquakes and tsunamis and floods and such all over the world every year. same with tornadoes, we have had some fairly extreme ones around the Midwest this year (one last night), but there have been highly destructive tornadoes before and i'm sure there will be again. unless the world ends. :fear:

There have been heaps and heaps of predictions of the end of the world. My rule of thumb; if they reckon they've got an exact date, ignore them. If they don't... well it's nothing new, in that case.

Higher population densities make major disasters more noteable, I think. A couple of centuries ago a big hurricane or tsunami might hit a bunch of areas that no one was even living at (or very few).

Its the nature of the human mind to spot patterns - even if the pattern really only exists in the human mind.
