Lol Haha! The book of Revelations was a vision..Those stuff about locusts, dragons etc. was symbolism used to illustrate the prophecy that was being portrayed. You don't actually expect me to have taken all that literally cheesy

That is some bold statements there... Cuz the scary thing about Revelation is the way the End of age was portrayed, if we shouldn't take it literally, then folks can heave a sigh of relief.. Don't u think? sad

Mind you, I'm not trying to downgrade your thread or anything; it's just that..I know a scary article on mass life-threatening situations when I see one, but this..this thread just had a cheesy tone to it, especially when I saw popular science fiction-esque points such as "alien invasion" and "robot ascension".

And I was so nonchalant about the other ones based on two reasons: 1. None of these stuff has wiped out the earth in all these years that the earth has existed and 2. My faith/religion
Never underestimate the mind of man, a little error in the coding system of an army of killer robots can cause chaos!

The first time an atomic bomb was used in a war... We all knew what the aftermath was, not to talk about now, when nations have their arsenal loaded with nuclear weapons and even an hydrogen bomb""?

If u read the article well, it was stated that the last time those events happened on earth it was catastrophic e.g. The extinction of the entire Dinosaur race, And it was also stated that some of those events are overdue too...

If we go into scriptures, Peter prophesied in his second epistle that the world as we know it is going to MELT WITH FERVENT HEAT, with everything in it burnt up! That tallies with another scientific apocalyptic theory where the sun.. In its dying state would swallow up the planets around it including earth...

Also, a flood which was only 15 cubit high was enough to put an end to the known world in Noah's time... 15 Cubits!!


What I'm saying to you bro, both Science and religion know that the end of the world won't be less dramatic than what we've already conceived! "if we gonna talk based on faith" , These things have not happened yet cuz God hasn't given the go ahead!

I'm aware of a majority of these threats, and the most realistically possible and imminent one at any moment - the nuclear one. This is why I'm running insane at absolute FOOLS whose only obsession is how to be married so and so time, to have such and such children, to undermine their fellow man, cheat them and get one unmerited promotion or the other, defend one tribe or the other. It's all a joke. Human beings are incredibly ignorant, even more so in Nigeria. These Islamic barbarians are ACTIVELY look to get their hands on nuclear weapons and then the world will understand what nuclear weapons are all about since their only preoccupation is reality TV and how Davido wore that dress. You know the world almost came to an end in October 1962, and almost by mistake in 1977 (or 78)? I wish I were not around on earth and observe these things happen to earthlings so that they realise I'm not that crazy afterall and I ponder what they never spare a thought about
pls after all this ur grammar and condemnation, what exactly is ur point

I'll engage you.....asking me if Bermuda Triangle is a theory is like me asking you if Lagos is a theory. Bermuda Triangle is an area where thousands of planes and ships pass thru every day. Ships and planes have mysteriously disappeared within that area over the years....mysteriously because we don't know the cause...we are baffled... and all explanations are theories. The last I heard about that is I think last year.... when the previously unknown/unseen formation of a vortex was witnessed from a plane in the area. A clear day....and suddenly a vortex formed....like a still tornado...drilling into the ocean and causing the water around it to raise more that 20 feet high. They are still chewing on that and now speculating that such may very well be the cause of many of the disappearaces.
Asteroids....cannot be theory... they are rocks. Black Holes ...theory...what do they really know about them?...one time they suck in everything....even light.....few years back...they claim they be pushing out stuff....so which is it? Get to understand what is a theory before firing darts again.
so since u know an asteroid is a rock some the size of the earth or way bigger, y is difficult for u to comprehend that a rock hovering around the earths speed at tremendous speed cannot destroy the earth if it mistakenly hits it? Abi that one too na theory?

Mr. RobinHez,

"The debate about climate change is finished - because it has been categorically proved NOT to exist"

"Global warming the greatest scam in history"

- John Coleman, expert meteorologist and founder of Weather Channel

Global warming was a long time scam by scientists on the excuse to acquire money for "research".

A quick Google search on "Global warming is not real" would enlighten you. I can't type all the facts here.

By the way, alien invasion...? robot ascension? LMFAO!!! grin cheesy

All these threats are, at worst, simply poor theories..and at best, distinct possibilities..but they definitely aren't certainties.

I can't bring myself to foresee any of the listed threats eventually wiping out all of human existence because... diaris God grin

cc: MrLouisVanGaal

Are you kidding me?? So the earth is some untouchable planet i presume. Let's just pray when the "poor theories" happen, we won't be short of time to say our last goodbyes.

Alright.. I'm checking it up.
Lol, since you obviously believe in God, ain't it safe to say the descriptions given in the Book of revelation points to Alien invasions and robots bla bla... I mean the Bible talked about locusts with iron breastplates eating humans instead of leafs... Scary! embarassed

If that doesn't point to Alien invasion i wonder what else it is? The problem is a lot of people refuse to extrapolate those things with present or even future realities. They still think all those descriptions are as they were...in the time of the John's and the early church. These guys were seeing into the future and could only describe what they saw by their present day realities. Won't it be scary seeing the word 'robot' or alien in the bible?

You pointed out that you're a Christian..

What ever happened to faith?

The earth has been vulnerable for millions of years and yet not one of these threats has wiped out all life on earth already, not even by coincidence.

Were there no black holes in the past? Were there no stars that could collapse and caus Gama ray bursts in the past? Were there no magnetic reversals millions of years ago?

These threats have been existing since time immemorial, but if you think they haven't destroyed the earth yet just because of our sheer luck then you're not a good Christian.

renegademinds:
what if the world has ended already and we all are living in a simulated reality engineered by a coalition scientist from different countries to try to preserve the memory of human civilization?

Surely there would be cracks in such a system? Chaos is bound to occur, and no matter how well ordered a system is, it will always fail.

And if these scientists are from different countries, won't it be this same simulated reality's own countries? How can you even imagine countries outside of this simulated reality we live in?

I saw a large eye in the sky the other day. I think that was the scientists trying to communicate with us.

True! Scientists working on Artificial intelligence are trying to create machines with minds of their own!! And there may soon have a breakthrough....


Imagine what would happen if a computer begins to think on its own...when it becomes self conscious...damn!!!! In this age where everything is computerized...

After reading Robots of Dawn (yeah, I'm an Asimov fan) I realized how impossible it would be to get a real "living robot". They could always run on loops but they can never think on their own. They will always be subject to mankind because reasoning is beyond algorithms.

Lol..thisis not about being a good or bad Christian. I 'll reply you with only one question. When do you think humans came to existence and how long have they been collating data about the earth?

Asteroid impact

An asteroid big enough to wipe out civilisation on Earth, experts agree, would need to be at least a mile across - and that kind of impact only happens once every million years or less.

It is believed the dinosaurs were wiped out by a six-mile-wide asteroid which slammed into Earth 66 million years ago.

In a paper by Oxford University’s Future of Humanity Institute, researchers explained the greatest danger will be “clouds of dust projected into the upper atmosphere” creating an ‘impact winter’, affecting climate, and food supplies, and create political instability.

And Bruce Willis can’t come to the rescue either - physicists claim it would be impossible to nuke a Earth-destroying-sized asteroid hurtling towards us.
AWW. OP, YOU DIDN'T ADD ME UP THERE.

Things are not as they seem if only the general population would know what a few in power know? Our earth is engraved in some deep $hit.. Alien invasion happened long before, i know many will dispute this cause they think aliens would use the human way of invasion nah not the case its been systematic after all they are higher beings and more intelligent than the human race. Some of the technology in use are not of this world they are imported all in a greater plan to enslave humanity but we humans of course think aliens are helping us...
Ever wondered why most of the basic of the technology in use today came about a certain period "the industrial revolution"??

2. All these cannot DESTROY the earth, in other words, they're false because it is ONLY the CREATOR who can destroy and knows how to destroy that which HE created.
3. Please help me quote some SCIENTISTS and PHYSICS who were witnesses about 252million years ago?

I've always told my peers that humans will be the one to end it's RACE. Religion is gonna spear head d move.

THE NUCLEAR BOMB: is the simplest way to achieve such feat. If Adolph Hitler could single handedly cos such chaos and uproars years back, I fear for the future of the mother earth planet having a massive teeming insurgents and extremists proliferating on daily basis.

A world statistics has it Dat... The earth is presently on its best vibe relating to PEACE. this simply means that the present generation on earth has known peace the most since the inception of human on earth.

Ds could mean heresy to some religious bigots but believe it or not... They will be no fire dropping from heaven like u have always been made to believe rather, we humans will end our existence via religious insurgencies with the help of nuclear weapons.
