End Of The World

Joshua
QUOTE(dyknight @ Jun 30 2006, 08:21 PM) *

Is the world coming to an end? Is there more pandemonium today than ever before in history?

The Iraq war, the Timor Leste insurgency, the Congo civil war, the Thailand political crisis, the Israel-Palestinian conflict, the Japan-NorthKorea-US tension, the Bird Flu, the SARS, the Hurricane Katrina, and, they all seem to point the world in one direction: self-destruction.

Why is there so much more fighting in a modern world that champions globalisation, peace and diplomacy? Why is there so much more diseases and natural disasters? Is it God, or is it us?


It's certainly not God. He made an originally peaceful world with no disease, no wars, no problems of any kind. Changes to that came because of Satan and us choosing our own ways over God. And of course, what was God's plan? Peace, prosperity, loving relationships between all, justice, compassion, mercy, forgiveness.. basically everything perfect. So now take the alternatives to that which we as a race chose by following our own selfish lusts and desires... war, destruction, hatred, injustice, cruelty, grudging... ultimately all imperfection.

We not only ruined ourselves, but the entire sum of God's creation all around us through our rejection of God's ways, which is why natural disasters, diseases, etc... are here. Some of it may even be because of God's just judgements upon our evil deeds in the past.

As for the world's future, I agree with Adrian... for the most part. Everything PHYSICAL has an end if it has had a beginning. Basic physics shows us this, matter decays. But everything in us seeks that which is eternal. We weren't made for the temporary, but for the eternal. As C.S. Lewis said, "we're all eternal spirits in a world that tries to hide our true identities from us."

So while I am sure this world and all the physical universe is going to end, that doesn't mean the end of our existence. In deed, the Bible says God will bring in new heavens and a new earth, and the former won't be remember or come to mind. There will even be a new place of separation from God, called the Lake of Fire, where the current Hell or Sheol will be thrown into. God has no intention of letting things run on their current course, He's just trying to convince us of the error of our ways so we'll repent and turn to Him before it's too late.

Haha its not God or else he would have flooded us and gave us an Ark by now (No hard feelings. It's just what the bible said he did before lol)

Ok for real now, I dont think its worse. I mean before people would fight for land everyday. They would kill each other much more brutaly then today. It was just different. They also had disease, but they could not cure them and people would die much more quickly. Wasnt the average life span in ancient Egypt only 30 years? I do think that global warming will get to us here soon because that happens naturaly and we really have screwed that up really bad with all the damn cars and planes and everything else. The only reason we still havnt tried something else it because the make more $$$ with Gas.

You may all think im crazy for sayin this but its proven fact....


We have had over 20 ice ages that we know of, as time goes on so do these ice ages. What scientists beleave is that we will be heading into and ice in withen the next 100 years. Every 20,000 years or so the earth has this phase that it must complete. We have survived many of these ice ages and each ice age creates new land and new life. As said in previous posts humans will not be here forever but thats nots true. The fact that we over populate the world will never change, yes we will be killed in large numbers but we will never go completely. Anyways back to what i was saying, the earth is getting ready for its ice age phase meaning it will cause the ice caps to melt and flood all the current lands. Then our O-zone layer will strenghen and block the sun a lot more and we all know how cold it gets without the sun.....whuch means ice. No one really knows how long this phase will last but i can tell you now, it will be a few life times before its over and i dont plain on becoming an icecube anytime soon. With all this war and stuff going its going to be difficult for the earth to have this phase and im sure im not hte only one who noticed this but has anyone seen the increase of tornados, hurricains, earht quakes, and giant waves? This year all our records were broken...meaning withen the next years they will continue to get worse. All i can say is the world will be here forever.....we on the otherhand wont.

I hope my strory explains enough......im a big thinker and i like learning.

it seems like somone will always be saying the world is going to end. I don't know what all the fighting and natural disaters have to do with the world ending but if you have the time to think about stuff like that good for you but please don't put all these stupid theories up here. I mean to be quite honest all it shows is how *BLEEP* your life is if you have nothing better to do than think about this!!

But honestly the world has not ended for the last how ever many years when it has been 01 01 01 and 02 02 02 ( you get my drift) you see where i'm going with this and it will not end when the nexted 07 07 07 comes up and so on so please stop trying to predict that it will and just live your life. it is short enough as it is without wasting time on dumb things. Well that is just my opinion. If you wake up every morning and say " the world will end because two cars i drove past today where the same color" or what ever else comes up good luck to you.

But really think about it just say the happened to end on one of these things they predicted it means you would have spent your last days predicting when the world was going to end and not enjoying life like you should be. And anyway even if you do predict it right what can you do about it ?? you see the irony ??

Its not like none of this has happened before. The world is an ever changing place, even the universe is ever changing. Many times in the past has the world changed, and animals died out, and then new ones came to exist. The only difference is, humans believe they will be here forever, but that is not the case, who knows in like 1,000 years a new better breed of animals will inhabit the earth. Wars have happened since the beginning of time, just now we have bigger, and "better" weapons that could actually destroy a whole country, with just one action...its a scary place to live honestly, and if the ever changing earth doesn't destroy us, some big headed country leader will.

By destroy the country, you mean society in said country, correct? No matter what happens, there will always be some who survive and work to rebuild society.

The world won't end. Maybe we'll all die but the world truely won't explode. The only way that will happen is if someone decides to go to the core and blow it up from the inside out. Atleast I think that would work. But even when the time comes, the Earth won't blow up I don't think. I just think the core will get either smaller or larger and will just burn out. But I don't think it will blow up. You gotta stop worrying. The worst that will happen is most of us will die and there will maybe be a few males and females left. Than a few guys get to have a lot of fun if you know what I mean. hehehe. But anyways, we will all just die as a result at worst. Whether it be from the wars and a Nuclear War starting. Or from the Bird Flu or some other disease. Or it be from the sun dying it in a few billion years. We will all die but the Earth won't blow up. Especially from just this. Maybe like I said before if you blow up the core. So don't worry about anything. And just live your life like a normal person. Be happy that there is no Nuclear War yet.

Eventually life on earth will come to a screeching halt. You just have to wait until our limited water supply runs out, and we can't find another place with water close enough to allow life on earth to continue.

As for war, human life will never end from war. Cooks with bomb shelters miles in the ground will survive the nuclear and biological wars of the future(possibly an even more advanced weapon).

As for the religious end of the final judgement, the signs point to soon, but these can be treated as minor coincidences with other disputed information in the bible.

First, one cannot "blow up" a planet. Even if one had the resources required, it would take an enormous amount of energy to accomplish such a task, and even then Earth's gravity would pull it back together again (see here and here).

As for Earth running out of water, Earth's water isn't going anywhere. We have the same amount of water now that we had a million years ago (assuming no comets brought some extra since then). Water recycles itself and does not disappear from a planet. Even if enormous amounts were split or converted into different substances, there would always be more water being made through chemical reactions to make up for the loss. No, water may not be where we want it when we want it, but it will always be around. A more likely demise of Earth would be the aging of the sun (which is inevitable), which would push Earth's temperature outside the life-supporting margins, either leaving Earth frozen or burned, but not short on water.

Actually, one CAN blow up the Earth. If and when people can create it, we will make anti-matter. It may seem far fetched but I believe that it could be made. And if it can and what I have read/heard about it is true, that could bring an end to the Earth. And yes, water is being put back both by being recycled and chemical reactions. But because of the growing population of the Earth, with billions of people drinking billions of gallons of water a day, we could lose all our water. I really don't think there is more water being put back than there is being taken away. And through chemical reactions, the only way to create water is by taking 2 Hydrogen Atoms and 1 Oxygen atom and forcing them to bond and form a water molecule. But there isn't an unlimited supply of Hydrogen and Oxygen on Earth to create that water. It will take many years but in time the water supply will go down to nothing. And because our Sun is so small, it will not form a black hole. But it will get hotter and than colder. But the Earth could end with a Nuclear War because a Nuclear War isn't 1 bomb on a place and than move to the next thinking everyone is dead. They will make sure everyone is dead. Very few would survive. And they would be considered lucky. But if they had kids, the radiation left over would cause defects. And the war would destroy plants and animals leaving nothing to eat. The water would be contaminated. You would either die of defects or die of starvation unless you ate bad things that you shouldn't like contaminated animals and drank contaminated water. Even if your bomb shelter was filled with food, it wouldn't be enough.
