Title: When will the world end next?
Post by: Kayo on June 17, 2011, 01:53:23 PM
Yeah I kind of only found out about May 21st like THAT WEEK, so we're bound to have at least one more before December 2012.

So what will they come up with next?

2013 ends with 13, last digits which are related to Friday 13th. 13 is bad luck, so WORLD IS GOING TO GO BOOM!

False.

While much of 2000 was unnecessary panic, "Y2K" was a legitimate fear caused by the idea that computers would not be able to comprehend the time change, resulting in planes falling from the sky, the stock market crashing, and effectively sending us back decades if not more; thankfully, most were able to handle it, and the immense preparations that were made before hand allowed those that wouldn't have handled it to be upgraded in time.

2012, on the other hand, has absolutely zero precedence whatsoever; the surprisingly intelligent Mayans created an accurate calender that ran all the way up to the year 2012 AD (although it obviously was not called that on their calender), and that's as far as they got, which of course was far more than they needed anyway. However, when it was discovered, some group of idiots out there decided that it wasn't just the end of the calender; it was a prophecy, and the calender ended there because the Mayans "knew" that would be the last year.

Anyway, the moron who claimed the rapture would happen in May has now postponed it to October or something like that, so we'll be having another "end of the world" very soon. Honestly, it's people like him that make Christians look stereotypically stupid; JESUS HIMSELF said that ONLY GOD knows when the rapture will happen, meaning anyone, "Christian" or not, who claims to know otherwise is either ignorant or a troll.

This makes sense, to an extent. It seems preposterous to think that a computer couldn't jump from 1999 to 2000 safely. However, remember that technology back then was 11 years more primitive. Windows 98 was the big, new OS.

I wasn't around back then to have been able to put much thought into it at the time. Well, I was around... just five. Maybe it was a matter of thoughts that the basic computer system hadn't been programmed to continue time into the 2,000th year. Looking back now it seems silly, but you never know. Were the people of yester-century concerned with that? Maybe. Did they think that the older computers from the 80s or whenever weren't programmed to go past 1999, and only the new ones were? Maybe. Did they think that anything using outdated computer software would at the very least hiccup or reset itself at 00:00 on 1 Jan 2000? Sure. The resetting thing does not sound too preposterous considering the level of computer technology.

Nevertheless, it probably comes down to this. One person believes this as a worst-case scenario that has less than a 1% chance of happening. Then the rumor spreads that there "could possibly" be a catastrophe. Then that is twisted and exaggerated to "imminent doom". It's all progression. And people underestimating the intelligence of computers, really. I think the date change would not possibly cause a problem. And that's what happened.

Harold Camping, the guy who came up with the May 21, 2011 date, has been saying that he made a miscalculation and that that date was only a "spiritual" apocalypse. Now he says that the apocalypse is some time in October. If I recall correctly, it might be the 21st of the month again.

Of course, he's been wrong several times before his May 21, 2011 prediction, so--forgetting the fact that he's a total hack--I don't think he'll be right this time.

If anything is gonna end the world, its not gonna be some.....OH MY GODZ A FIRE BALL IN THE SKY AND IS COMING DOWN INTO THE CITY RUN!!! 100,000,000,000 / 1 chance of happening event. If anything is going to end the world, its gonna be us. Us as in Human beings. We're the most power hungry, Resource dependent, and the most corrupt life form on the planet.

I can't quite remember exactly why, but the whole Y2K thing was caused by a deficiency in programming.  I can't remember the details, but if I remember correctly it was because, then, computers tabulated time based upon the last 2 digits of the year, and output that as 19-- (the -
s being the last 2 digits computed).  So, the jump from 99 to the next year might have a computational issue, or it may throw the computer off, because now it thinks it's 1900 (if I recall correctly, it was the latter issue).

Many feared this would cause issues, hence the reason why they now read the year as the full number, and can compute beyond the 1900's (i.e. instead of 99 it's now 1999, or instead of 11, it's read as either 1911 or 2011 now).

Or in that case I could be completely wrong...I didn't do the best on the computer history part of programming...

Yeah.  And most cosmic debris that comes near our planet that actually ENTERS the atmosphere just burns up anyway before it can hit anything.

This logic contradicts with the meteor theory on dinosaur extinction, and frankly, I know little to nothing on that matter so I have no stance on what wiped them out.

It doesn't contradict it at all. Obviously little meteors/etc. will burn up in the atmosphere. If it's big enough, it won't burn up all the way.

What I'm saying is, who's to say that another huge meteor won't come and kill us?

If that's even what got rid of the dinos. I think I'd need to study that more but I don't want to.

Actually, I think if that DID happen, there's a few things we'd have to consider. For example, if it landed in the ocean, it probably wouldn't be as destructive as if it landed on land. would it unleash huge tsunamis though? I don't know. That certainly wouldn't be good. But if it landed on land, say, in an unpopulated area such as the vast Sahara Desert, the impact wouldn't cause the harm. If there were any resulting tremors or what have you (anyone who knows about this correct me if I'm wrong; I'm really just guessing) that might do some damage to further areas.

I think the problem would be the cloud of dust. I think that we have the technology to be able to handle that, though, in an emergency. Stay indoors, have people with protective gear delivering supplies or whatever must be done if it's a true emergency. Bottom line is, we'd be able to get through it better than the dinos.

Unless you're accusing the people who say those thing of just making it all up to stir things up, I don't think that "hoax" is the word you're looking for. The people who put out those warnings genuinely believed them to be true.

And so do the people who believed in the rapture and everything. People are so closely tied with their religion that they would actually kill themself if they thought God told them too. In my opinion, that's when religion is just out of hand. I'm not one to criticize people on their beliefs, but that is really just too much.

Actually, religion IS supposed to take over a person's life THAT much; it's just that not every follower is as devout as they "should" be. I mean, if you just follow it half-heartedly, then it's not even a religion, it's just advice.

However, you are right in that the people are to blame; everyone has a choice to believe and do what they want (well, mentally anyway; physically, many are unfortunately forced to convert or die due to the culture in which they live).

Uh, no. Religion shouldn't precede logical decisions in everyday life. Like say you were supposed to go to work one day. You can't say home and use for an excuse "God told me to stay home".

Likewise you shouldn't let it affect your better judgment. If you want to believe the Earth was created in a week, go ahead. But don't jump off a building because you BELIEVE something that every logical conclusion, even common sense, contradicts.

Says your point of view.  ;)

You see, that's the point; what "should" or "shouldn't" be done is different in different people's minds. Now, don't get me wrong; I'm intelligent to know that there IS such thing as absolute truth, but frankly, not everyone has the same sense of what should and shouldn't be done. Why? Because of whatever their belief system is. The point is, not all religions are absolutely true, but nearly all religions are created to be followed AS IF they were true. Hinduism wasn't created because its creators wanted people to pick and choose parts of it; it was created because its creators wanted people to believe ALL of it.

Says my point of view? If I decided to not show up for my job for a whole week, but told my boss "God said I should stay home from a week" he wouldn't buy it. And I'd be fired. Taking a week off using your vacation days or whatever is one thing, but that isn't a legitimate excuse.

Again, not every view can be right at the same time, but if a person legitimately believed that their god wanted them to skip work, that would take higher priority for them; getting fired would be an unfortunate but "necessary" side-effect. In the mind of the person who follows said belief, that belief takes higher priority. So you see, religion "shouldn't" be top priority in life in the eyes of someone who doesn't follow said religion, but it "should" take top priority in life in the eyes of someone who does follow said religion. After all, if you legitimately believed that the omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient creator told you to quit your job, the logical decision would be to obey, since God would have a lot more control over you than your boss should you disobey.

The point is, religions are designed for the purpose of being followed religiously. Even if from an objective standpoint it's nonsense, from a subjective standpoint no religion should be followed half-heartedly. The reason a person follows a religion is because they think it's real and thus NEEDS to be followed. Obviously, no one can follow any moral code perfectly, but if you live a lifestyle of partially following a religion, you're a hypocrite and are frankly wasting everyone's time, including your own.

Yes but it's bullpoop to let it precede everyday life to a destructive extent. Religions aren't designed to control your mind, and it's not half-hearted to not allow it to do such. It's a bit over the line for someone to allow religion to INTERFERE with their everyday life in a negative way. If they want to leave their job for a week for no reason other than a supernatural being "speaking" to them, fine for them. They just can't cry when they get fired. In this kind of world we live in now, that's just not acceptable. You wouldn't like it if you hired and paid someone that decided to just not work as much as your other employees, using a religious excuse. No religion is that intrusive, and no religion should be.

/Sarcasm

To me, rational is something I can observe firsthand or hear the firsthand observation of others and has tested to be true time and time again. Anything beyond what can be observed comes down to the belief in the existence of the subject in question. Religion being mind control I think is something you said to have observed firsthand, but I believe that that thinking is in your belief system since I have not observed it firsthand.

Let me ask you this then, what is stopping you from being under some sort of mind control? Is it because you say you have free thought or logic? Because that might even be what you are only told you have while being manipulated. What I am saying is, just because you fall under the banner of "religion" does not make you automatically under its control just like if you were Atheistic or Agnostic it does not mean you are mind control free. I like to think for myself, but does that mean someone else is thinking for me?

Though I do agree with you that almost no one wants to be under the control of something or someone, but that does not always stop it from happening.

There are six ones. If you look at the slashes, they kind of look like ones, so this adds up to eight. 6 divided by eight is .666 repeating bar.

666=mark of the beast. When the anti-christ takes over, no one without this mysterious mark, which is somehow related to the number, will be able to do anything, thus you will need to swear loyalty to him to buy things, travel, etc. It's like we'll all be required by law to have barcodes on our foreheads or something to that effect.

That's all. What the date is according to our modern calendar has absolutely nothing at all to do with the end of the world.

I don't know where you came up with Catholics believing in that, but you probably meant to mention fundamentalist Christians.

You're very right. Somewhere in Revelations (i.e. a book of the Bible) it says that the Mark of the Beast must be on everyone's foreheads and the backs of their hands. Something like that.
