i dont think the end of the world will happen quite this soon. i have my sources.
btw, dragonrider, are you a trekkie? rifts n all kinda sound like it
Now and then I announce "I know you're listening" to empty rooms. If I'm wrong, no one knows. And if I'm right, maybe i just freaked the hell out of some secret organization. It's basically Paschal's wager for the paranoid prankster.

i dont know if putting a rocket in a volcano with a nuclear bomb would be good, the bomb may blow the rocket up and that wouldnt be good.

and if we froze everyone and left 100 people to jetty them into space what would happen to those 100 people
If you were to juggle a lion, and a house cat, the end result would look something like a tattered chunk of red fabric. The cat would scratch anything within reach, and the lion would just eat you. The lesson to learn? Make sure you eat your spinach.

In effect...they'd die. Along with all animals as we would pack extensive DNA samples with us.

but wouldnt that be unfair to the 100 people? why should they die wand everyone else live? it doesnt seem fair to me. if we did that couldnt we just program the ships to launch before everyone was frozen and stuff? just have computers and stuff do it all

COMPUTERS!! COMPUTERS DO IT ALL!! No never! Any number of problems could arise. Only humans could do this they would have to have been trained from birth to do this and no only two things: pushing the button and a religion. With no fear of death maybe even keeping them ignorant of their death.

Or there could be a volunteer program. I myself would volunteer. Why? Because it's the right thing to do.

However a lottery would not work. They would want to go as well and may not push the button.

There is a smal chance that the world will be swallowed from the inside by a black hole :shock: http://www.exitmundi.nl/blackholes_lab.htm

It will most likely don't happen, but we can never know.

Has anyone read Remnants? They launched Eighty people into space because an asteroid was going to strike. We make rifts when we use nuclear fission and dragons may well reveal themselves for the people here. Anyway I think Jesus will return.

The world will end when the time comes. All we can do is wait. Or hope Jesus or dragons save us.

The topic is will the world end in 2012 or not, the topic is not about books or dragon promises. Get back on topic.

What will the world end from? :?: And why would we care? Anyone who could tell when the world will end can tell how. :poke:

Or maybe they're just nuts. :wacko:

Something i heard in class during one of my rare waking moments:

"It says in the bible that when the world ends there will be fighting in the middle east"


Nowi havent looked this up but if this chick was right then we should all be wondering if this is that time of fighting in the middle east. Another thing i have seen before is that things tend to end where they began and many scientists agree that the fertile crescent (in middle east, look it up) is the most likely area for the "garden of eden".
Like this:

Eden = fertile crecsent = beginning
Eden + fighting and destruction= Ragnarok, armagedon, doomsday

It also says in the bible that Persia will make "that horrible thing which causes destruction." The bible must be refering to a nuclear bomb. Iran is in Persia. Iran is making a nuclear bomb.

Ezekiel 39 speaks of a nuclear holocaust. Revelation speaks of a massive war between many nations, and of one religion (not Christianity) taking over.

Here's spmething for ya:

What if the bible is a journal based on facts a time traveler wrote down and he lost the book?Maybe he is out there right now. perhaps he tarted atheism to get people away from the bible cause he needs noone to know what happens

@manoftheworld: The Israelis and Palestinians have been fighting over control of the same piece of land for nearly a century and there were several wars before that. Amongst other things, Jerusalem was sacked many times (586 BCE, 132 CE, 1244, 1259...) and there is still no "second coming". When plague was thinning the European during the Dark Ages, they thought it was the end of the world. Basically, anything that 1) is vague or cryptic, 2) has no time limit and 3) can be interpretated to match the current events, can make a good prophecy and can keep the ink flowing for a long time.

As for if the bible is the lost book of wisdom from a time traveler, then why:
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. (1 Corinthians, 1:19)

For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow. (Ecclesiastes, 1:18)
Sound to me that the bible wants you to be as ignorant as possible, not the other way around. That a bit why religion was nearly always on the wrong side of every scientific advances in the last few centuries (when burning those who don't agree became out of fashion).

No, what that means is that, "proffessing themselves to be wise, they became fools." The wisdom of God is not open to just anyone; only his chosen.

And how does a time traveller lose anything?

And if you don't believe in God its as relevant as chicken teeth :)

Time travel isn't possible yet although scientists fired a laser into a cloud of gas and saw it leaving even before it entered. A breakthrough?

Same way we lose anything. Puti t down and forget where we put it down. Maybe he just didnt go back to see where he put it down. Or he was shot back in time and is going to live eternally and cant go back in time again till he reaches his time.
