What do all the millions and millions of end of world predictions that have been forecast to date have in common.......none have come true

Does this not tell you something? Like maybe people making these end of world predictions are just pulling dates out of thin air.

Take a look at this site and look at all the stupid predictions people have made and notice that every one of them was wrong...

When the world does eventually end the only people who have a chance of predicting it in advance will be scientists, not Pastor Bill West from the evangical we love god church, not some crazy old cook who lived hundreds of years ago, not some psuedo religious reporter.

If the Sun was to randomly go Super-Nova in thirty minutes, not a single person on this planet will be able to predict it in advance, Pastor Bill will be sat at home eating his dinner in blissful ignorance, the crazy old cook will still be in his grave, and the psuedo religious reporter will be living it up in his mansion, and i'll still be sat here to trying to persuade people to stop believing in this rubbish.

Humans have been predicting the sh*t will hit the fan since the beggining of time, its in human nature, and no matter how much time passes, people will still be trying to use religious texts to predict the end of the world, and no matter how many predictions fail bible bashers will continue to crunch numbers together and randomly splice words together from their sacred texts to forge new previously unseen meanings.

Im willing to bet that the next major threat to the United States will be labelled the anti-christ, and when Jesus doesn't return people will call it off as a false alarm and then wait for the next major threat to arise.

You are right of course if you wern't we wouldn't be hear and i do agree with you

:laugh: I wonder what makes them predict the end.. A sence of significance?

Like the "Medium" on South park :laugh::laugh: the biggest doucsh in the universe.

For the most part, you are right.
The sun would never go supernova though.Its much too small for that.
I would like to point out too, that some doomsday fears were genuine.
Take the "Cuban Missle Crisis" for example. That could have escalated into a nuclear war.

I think some folks Skep2 confuse the end of human life with the end of the planet proper. Even if all humans died tommorow, life would go on here on Earth. Heck, another sentient life-form may evolve to take our place, but even if it didn't, the Earth would still be here.

Yeah, why in all armygeddon theories (Well, most), the planet goes out with us?

And whys it called the end of the world...When its only us that gets our asses handed to us when we die.

I don't know Xeno... a full scale nuclear exchange, the Earth survives, a space body impact with us, the Earth survives, plague, the Earth survives. Maybe it's human ego that equates the end of humanity with the end of the planet itself...
