And I believe that he also said that every day, there's a chance of the world ending, but very small. And that every day there's always a slighter chance of the world coming to an end to a epidemic of some sorts
That's logical, not to mention it could count for everything, Tauren. There's a (very small) chance that I could win a huge amount of money today... or tomorrow... or the day afterwards, and go on. There is always a small chance of something happening.
So 2012 will probably be another year full of bomb threats from other countries to other countries, and more gossip on the global warming factor.
That is probably very likely. When a large number of people are expecting something and rumors start to appear of it possibly happening, it is a good way of getting the fear in someone. It all is common logic.
And yes, one person could save the world, if given the right tools in order to do so, be the persons mind, or a physical tool of some kind.
Such as what? What kind of tools? What kind of mind? It will completely depend what will cause the
End of the World. If it is indeed a meteor, then there is quite little to do about it. Earth isn't all that big itself and there are numerous of theories how it started to exist. We'll get hit sooner or later, wether it is expected or not. Though I am pretty willing to believe that we have enough resources in space to life elsewhere in a few years. Though guessing/judging time never has been one of my strongest points.
Do not sit around and say the world is doomed anyways, so just let the first thing to kill us kill us, we dont care. Stand up, and think of others, think of all the generations that have yet to come, all the generations that have come before, all trying to survive and thrive for the good of mankind. Would you just let the little problem grow out of control and say that you can't stop it anyways, so let it kill me? Why not stop it before it grows out of hand?
Simply because it inevitable. Besides, aren't
Christians supposed to think that
Judgement day is coming?
Though everyone will always try to stop the problem before it grows out of hand, but is it really worth it?
"Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you..."
Also, Fladian, I apologize for making bad judgement on your character, it was, after all, a first impression
No problem. Only the "you would never betray those you love" sentence really did bug me. But I'm sure it will for many of years to come.
It will be mystery until it happens. People have been thinking about this and predicting for years and years. And when it does I assume it will happen so fast we won't know what hit us and how we were wiped out.
That's for sure, Ken. When something of a good size hits the earth, there is no chance of surviving, let alone being able to feel of what happened.
I thought absolutely nothing of that date at all. Mainly because I don't believe in superior beings and what not and am not a religious person.
I did note that date, despite not being religious at all. I asked a classmate back then if she was relgious, which I received a positive answer on. She was quite... uh... nervous.
And not to sound all hippie like and what not, but we are pretty much destroying the planet already.
Isn't that generally known?
"Whatever happens, happens." I've liked that quote all my life. I could care less when it happens Because there's no stopping it.

but anyway i think this topic has gotten out of hand with the long posts so im pretty much gonna stop reading this one
Um... Squishy, the topic isn't getting out of hand at all. That's part of the debate section, something I am quite fond of, actually, though it isn't living as much as I hoped it to be.
As for "long posts" you are referring to. I would like you to point me out where they are then, because I haven't noticed any out here on Anvil. Or rather, barely any. I recently joined another forum where
I am smashing my head on huge posts of others - which causes me to skip a few threads - but this thread only has reasonably short posts - which disappoints me - so you have nothing to fear on long posts.
