Posted: November 24, 2007 12:47 pm Post subject: End of the world |
|
|
Repaetd news shows are talking about end of the world. theyve even written a book called 2012 which they think is the date when ittle end.
they say the sun will get so hot heat rays will be immesnely increase din earth. it will be so hot north and south pole will melt causing floods and tsunaims. since they melt the worlds degree changes by 45 degrees causing all volcanoes in the earth to explode. they say scientsits say the day will be december 21, 2012. now at first i didnt believe this. but then the proof was overwhelming. they studied ancient Indian, Mayan, Chinese, Aztec, Egyptian, etc calendars. ALL OF THEM ENDED THEIR CALENDARS ON DECEMBER 21, 2012. SCIENTISITS FIRST DISCOVERED THE DATE THEMSELVES AND THEN FOUND THIS PROOF.
you can purchase the book 2012 from any bookstore. (yes they wrote a book)
some religious people believe it will end in 2008. because of these wars and natural disasters.
i dont really believe either. Im a Christian who goes to a Private Christian school. i belve no one knows when the world will end except God himself. however its a but odd...God did say that when natural disasters and war take place its a sign of his return...and also that calendar thing freaked me out.
what do you think? _________________

I don't believe it. I really doubt all of this will happen in such a short amount of time. _________________

Well, if the world does end, I just hope it does after JKR releases the Potterpedia. If I'm going down, I want to go down happy. _________________

hahahha...
OK EVERYBODY! quit studying! the world is about to end! get out of your classrooms and go out! live your lives! eat, drink, and be merry! travel the world! experience new things! splurge all your money! have all the sex you want! be happy! for the world is gonna end!
seriously is this true? ive also watched in discovery channel about if a meteor, or something like that, hits the earth. its gonna bring about a new ice age, as well as the death of mankind. perhaps God is so tired and sick of us that he's gonna create a new species, a species which rigidly follows the ten commandments. _________________

Two things.
First:

Well obviously, you said that in the first line.
Second: What you said doesn't mean the end of the world, just the end of our species. You should rename this thread, it is rather misleading. _________________

my science teacher was talking about something like this the other day. He metioned this asteroid that was supposed to hit earth on 2012 on destroy life as we know it. He went into this long speech that lasted about 10 minutes and he said "That is until a year ago when we noticed it was coming nowhere near us". We laughed pretty hard
but yea that is a load of poop _________________

its actually possible for almost all of the other species to get lost... i mean if volcanoes are gonna explode... (f*ck that there are hundreds of volcanoes where i live)... anyway i think that only a handful could survive. and if only a handful can survive, it could well mean the end of the world.... and a some millenia after will be the beginning of phase 3, a new world. _________________

The cockroaches will survive, those things never freaken die. Even if every species dies, as long as something exists, a planet, a star, any form of matter, it isn't the end of the world. Or even if there is no matter, what about religious folk, they believe in existence after death, a world by definition is collective existence. _________________

well when you say the end of the world, it is generally understood to mean the non existence of the material world. _________________

People talk about "the non existence of the material world" often? Has the whole world gone mental? Or maybe I've just finally, unknowingly tuned out to hyped up media rubbish. _________________

but there could be such a thing... when a great disaster happens, such as that one mentioned. human life will be wiped out, along with many other forms of life (yeah probably the cockroaches will still survive... in which case i think id rather die). so yeah, for those who believe in life after death, they will leave the physical world, which is already probably entering into a new ice age, and they will join our heavenly father in heaven... or join satan in hell... whichever. _________________

What does it matter? If it's something preventable I care but otherwise why should we. Death is inevitable, you may not even live until the day our species dies so really it's all just another day on the edge. And if you're wasting your life, only to realise it once you know you're going to die soon then you're also the kind of person who won't do anything differently once someone does tell you. _________________

we all know that death is inevitable... but we all expect it at age 75 or something... not in year 2012. were all still very young... and we know its not something we can prevent... only delay. but it might even be too late to delay it after we have damaged the ozone layer. _________________

If it happens, it happens I dont care really..I just hope theres no suffering, I mean not just for humans but for animals too. The worlds needs a good wash to clean the filth away.
Hope it's quick. _________________

They. Very descriptive. I like to know who's writing books before I believe every word of them. Just because 'they' wrote a book about it, does not in any way shape or form make it true.

Sound like pretty extraordinary claims. I live by the rule that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Do you have extraordinary evidence - or better yet, do 'they'?
| PureBloodPrince wrote: |
| they say scientsits say the day will be december 21, 2012. |
Still, you haven't told us who 'they' are, and I can gauruntee you that 'they' are wrong in saying that scientists believe the world will end in 2012 - at least most scientists. 'They' might be able to find one or two scientists that agree with that statement, but the majority of the scientific community will see through 'their' bullshit.

That's a good start. Maybe one day, we can restore your sanity.

Oh, I can't wait for this.
| PureBloodPrince wrote: |

And? Was it at all practical to have gone further? Their civilizations didn't even last until anywhere near 2012. Just because their calenders end on 2012 means that the world will too? How do you conclude that? Even if the Indian, Mayan, Incan, Egyptian, and Chinese (and I can promise you that only a few of their calenders really ended on 2012) flat out said 'the world will end in 2012, then what does that prove other than that they believed the world would end in 2012? They had no scientific or empirical evidence to support the claim, and neither do we, so we're just going to take their word for it?
| PureBloodPrince wrote: |
| SCIENTISITS FIRST DISCOVERED THE DATE THEMSELVES AND THEN FOUND THIS PROOF. |
First of all, historians discovered the calenders and the dates on them, not scientists, and second of all, no qualified scientist would say something like "Well if the mayans predicted the end of the world in the year 2012, then it must happen. Let's not look for empirical evidence at all, instead we'll just believe what was written down by a group of barbaric, uneducated people."
| PureBloodPrince wrote: |

I wouldn't waste my money on it. If there was any scientific backing for this at all, then scientists would have actually told people.
| PureBloodPrince wrote: |

The fact that they're religious makes them an impossible idea even less credible.

What exactly is odd about it, and why would it freak you out? Calenders of the ancient native Americans end in 2012, that doesn't in any way shape or form mean the world will.
