Don't Worry, I'm Not A Loon Who Goes Onto Street Corners Wearing A Sign That Says "THE END IS NEAR!"

I've Been Watching Alot Of The Whole "Armaggedon Week" On The History Channel. Alot Of Biblical Scholars Are Predicting Armaggedon To Be In 2012. The Mayans Predicited It As Well. A Few Less Well Known Prophets Also Have Predicited It. It Can't Be A Coincidence That All These People Who Never Knew Each Other Or Never Seen Anything Of Theirs Could All Predict Armaggedon Happening In 2012. So, I Ask You IS The End Nigh?

No.

Can't be, i've got to outlive my mother.

Yes.

Could any of these "Prophets" or "Biblical Scholars" predict lottery numbers for next week?

do you have any idea how many doomsday predictions there have been in the past.

look it up, you'll be surprised.

Yes, it could be a coincidence.

Is it? Well we have to wait and see. It's possible something could happen, but even if we postulate for arguement that 'something' will happen, or even that the world will end, we still don't know what that means. Will it simply change(as in the end of the world as we know it), or will it be game over in the literal sense? The 'end of the world' could mean so many things there's really no way to predict.

So suddenly becuse the Mayan calander ends on 2012, they predicted that was when the world would end?

The world ended three years ago but everyone was busy doing some other stuff and no one noticed.

BTW, Biblical scholars have been predicting the end of the world in different dates for the last 1500 years. So far their batting average is .000 and it doesn't seem like they'll improve.

Mid March. Early afternoon, I think. It split three ways and then came together again but backwards.

That does explain why half of China is now located in my colon...

I second this. Stop it! Oh please, by all that is holy and pie-like, stop it!

No, but seriously, the world is going to end when somebody makes the Worst Pun Imaginable. People have imagined this pun before, but all of them have dropped dead from it's sheer horrid punniness before they could ever utter it. However, the person who can survive the thinking of this pun is coming, and they shall speak it and the world will implode in the face of it's deadly power.

Can't be, i've got to outlive my mother.
Well, we all know the easiest way to solve that problem. :sharpens axe:
(not serious at all, don't hurt me)

No, everyone knows that the world will end on April 14, 2051 at 14:48 GMT.

Or is it next week?

Wait, let me check these entrails again *wet, sloppy noises*

Nope, turns out the world isn't going to end for another six billion years.

*wipes sweat off brow* Pheeww!

(Seriously, even if the world ends in 2012, who gives a toss? It six years and god knows how many near fatal collisions with a bus down the road. If someone asked me six years ago what I'd be doing today I'd have said working in a research lab. I'm now a manager for a large retail company. Predicting the future is impossible for the most part)

How many people predicted and thought the word would end at the last millenium? The one before that (1900) there were mass suicides and borderline hysteria in many places because of the same fear, and each event had predictions. There have been countless occasions where biblical scholars or some representatives of some other cult/religion predicted the end of the world because of the "signs": weird/severe weather, disasters, or an eclipse, or a comet, or a volcano, or because some chicken's entrails looked like a bunny rabbit, or because a cloud looked like Darth Vader...

The point is, just because the Mayan calendar ends there, and some Christian mythologists think that 12 C.E. was the true birthyear of Jesus (thus giving them their nice round number) doesn't mean squat.

Besides, we all know the world will end on October 28th, 2051, when a meteor roughly one third the size of earth will strike our planet, thus fulfilling the great prophesy related to me by the Flying Spaghetti Monster's noodly apendage.

Its a possibility. And religious and biblical scholars disagree to what exactly is a biblical generation for one. And that would be the biggest argument for any kind of Armageddon I would think, the re-appearance of Israel. And then the 10 headed beast could mean the 10 regions the UN plans to split the world up into. But then again maybe its not.

When Iserael is made a whole country again, and when there is peace in the middle east, then that is the start of the end of the world. The person who will bring them together will be the anti-christ. He will give us the mark, in which we cannot live without.

Those are the two signs out of Revelation of the end of the world.

Yeah I heard about the 2012 thing a while ago when I was at college. College towns are chock full of mindless New Age automatons. Apparently we should beleive the MAyans because of their callander's accuracy and their amazing powers of predicting disasters, like the way they predicted the conquistadores. Oh wait silly me the Mayan's amazing future predicting powers failed to notice the end of the Mayan culture.........

All hail the American Indians, that hadn't even invented the wheel when the first Europeans arrived.

The Mayans predicted a renewal, a new age, not the end of the world. We will simply enter into a new age.

I bet the Mayans were in contact with aliens, and 2012 is when the aliens are finally going to get here and do whatever human-seeking aliens are wont to do. There's a new age for ya.

They had, but the terrain being all trees and not having an animal that could carry loads or pull carriages it was only used in toys and some small tools.

If only they hadn't eaten all the horses, but they're so yummy.

hahahaha rofl

In 2008, the anomaly will be discovered.
In 2009, the threat will be realised.
In 2010, the rumours will be leaked.
In 2011, Pluto will mysteriously vanish.
In 2012, The Chaos Bringer Arrives.

Hail Unicron!

Unless you happen to be, say, an American Indian. Like, hmmm...oh, that's right- ME.

However, I understand that you are crippled by an innate immaturity and do not blame you for it. After all, you don't have to be racist to like a racist joke.

The world will likely not end in 2012, despite the predictions. Normally, this kind of blind faith in what are just dumb ideas makes me feel a little like the world is full of morons. But, as someone else mentioned, there are usually a lot of suicides by people who actually believe predictions like these, and I'm always in favor of anything that rids the world of morons.

How Did The World End Three Years Ago? And When Exactly Did It End?How? The machines took over.

When? When the machines figured human bodies are good Batteries.

Hahahaha! Ok, if the world ends in 2012 I will personally buy everyone on Nationstates a steak dinner! Seriously, I will open a savings account tommorow for that sole purpose. Looks like I will be buying myself a new plane in 2013 from the cash I saved! :D

Yep Yep White Buffalo Woman is already here. And she does anal!

2012 Armaggedon?
If Kim Jong-Il fired that "thing". Yes :eek:

The predictions don't have to mean the "end of the world" but more likely the end of a age. Which would mean the begining of a new age.


"This emanation, in that which concerns its action in the world of God, is not limited by time or place; it is without beginning or end -- beginning and end in relation to God are one."

Sadly I've met at least two people on this forum who genuinely beleive that.:rolleyes:

Damn you I meant to watch that. No, when these religions were started, they believed in hokey pokey gods to explain the world.

The end will come like a thief at night, not the angel, not even the son himself will know. Only the father in heaven will know when the end of the world comes.


So in short, don't worry about when the world will end, just drink, eat, and be merry!
