Your thought on all this Doomsday rubbish

[Tib088]

I think it's natural to think that the world is going too end in your life time. It always has been. It's hard too imagine a world after your death and some people may find that hard to come too terms with. So they think of silly end of the world ideas from the holy scripture of their religion to historical accounts that predict the end of the world.

Personally I don't believe in the end of the world but not the end of our species. This is because to me the end of the world is completely supjective. I mean too some of the people in Japan right now it must fell like the end of the world right? And for them they may have lost everything so that is the end of the world for the individual's who've lost so much. But the for the earth to just explode or whatever will propley never happen. And even if it does humans will probley find a way too survive.

I imagine the Mayans sitting in their undetectable ultra-high-tech-underground-superlab:

"Do you think that in the future humanity will unlock the ability to manipulate atoms at the nuclear level and thus unlock the ability to wipe out every major population center with as much effort as it takes to sneeze?"

"Don't be stupid!"

*much laughter*

"...But I'll put it on the calender just to fuck with them! Har-har!"

And now who's laughing? Not anyone with a brainstem, that's who! Har-har!

LOL! haha agree

The only doomsday that will be welcomed by me is if Polybius is involved in some sort of a comeback and a set of two people named Michael team up in a quasi-serious adventure to overcome it once more.

This might be coincidence, but Duke Nukem Forever will be released this May as well.

Will Duke's return destabilize and erode the laws of physics until all of existence collapses into a singularity?

Yes, it probably will.

But seriously, it's rubbish. Humanity is very likely to be around for quite a bit of time. And even that isn't the end of the world, just the end of humanity. Unless we get hit by a celestial body large enough to actually destroy the Earth, it will continue to happily circle the sun for about 5 billion years, until the sun starts dying, swells up into a red giant and eventually swallows up the planet.

I love how little understanding most of those born-and-raised christian types have of their own religion.

...and don't they know the end of the universe won't happen until my favorite random mathematical anomaly? March 3rd, in the year 3333AD.

I hope its a zombie apocalypse...Either way it would be fun. If I remain human I would have fun gunning those sons a bitches down. If I turn into a zombie...well I wouldn't much care would I.

Basically, I think all of the obsession with Doomsday theories doesn't always lie simply in someone's religion or even current events, that are also more and more accessible and widespread due to international news coverage and the internet.

But these are all means of reinforcing the fact I think people are inherently predisposed to thinking that they are living in end-times when things start to seem chaotic. People are always making Doomsday prophecies because they are practically hopeful that they can be there To actually be there at the end of the known world It gives a strange, fairly macabre sense of purpose to simply see through the end of the world or to preserve what is left behind.

That and people can't always deal with the quite existential fact that the world goes on without them. This also compounds on the desire to have a sort of narrative to our lives rather than simply ending without anything major happening at the end. None of these prophecies will ever come true, though. Even on the occasion that someone does predict a disaster, they are never as bad as the so-called oracle predicts. The world won't truly end for a long, long time- long after Humans have faded from the planet's "memory"

We get it, though, people like living in interesting times, but when it comes to Doomsday stuff, it's trying to exaggerate how interesting the time is to unrealistic levels. There is no coming Rapture in May- God did not cause the Earthquake and subsequent tsunami in Japan, the Devil is not spurring the Middle East to protest and eventually conquer the world for Sharia Law and Demonic Islam.

Calm down and go about your most-likely long and disaster-free lives.
