Are we in end times?

[Jambo 4 Ever]

The joke site an atheist created offering "post-rapture pet care" to evangelical Christians springs to mind . . .

Did someone really do that joke site?

Reckon Partick will beat us so it's maybe best for all concerned if it happens pre kick off. Will save having to read lots of whinging in the terrace.

And on the 24 Sept I'll be able to say that I've now lived through 80 end of the world predictions in my life-time.

 

And these religious nuts will be scrambling around making up excuse upon excuse why they were wrong and everybody didn't die, just like they normally do.

Mathematics predicts a sixth mass extinction by 2100

In the past 540 million years, the Earth has endured five mass extinction events, each involving processes that upended the normal cycling of carbon through the atmosphere and oceans. These globally fatal perturbations in carbon each?

I don't know about the rest of you but we have had the strangest weather year ever.  Started in the spring, lots of rain, then warmer than usual weather, the mountain snow runoff was heavy, raised the lake, river and creek waters so we had floods. Barely got out of that and in April we had the first forest fire, slipped in to a record temperatures summer, no rain for nearly seventy days, wildfire and forest fires throughout the Province, beautiful sun for weeks barely saw a blink of it because the sky was covered in smoke, but life is not all bad last week we got a bit cooler weather, two showers of rain, then last two days warnings because of snow on the mountain highways.

I've found in life that most people who go on about the world coming to an end are, often due to depression, actually hoping for it to be true.

I'm assuming that the people commenting on ML's post assumed that it was the usual nonsense lifted from a conspiracy website? The link actually goes to a popular science website that has referenced a paper published in Science Advances, which is part of the Science brand. The paper predicts mass extinctions due to changes in the carbon cycle and not some end of the world doomsday nonsense.

The guy's paper reckons this extinction event will take c. 10,000 years to take effect, starting around 2100.

That won't stop some from claiming it was foretold in the bible.

 

A lot of people know that there have been several mass extinctions prior to us humans having been around and that the next one could involve our species, feck all to do with the bible, if you ask me.

 The bible is the biggest conspiracy website and attracts conspiracy god fearing individuals.

 

There is a lot of nonsense being lifted from the bible to justify a fearful and vengeful god existing through the medium of scientific related mass extinctions through nature.

 

In fact religion in general has a lot to answer for.

 

There is a die back happening of certain species and we and the planet we live on are not that far away in terms of it affecting us.

Speaking as someone who supports science, scientific facts are admittedly evidence-based and sometimes such evidence is inconclusive (there is not a black and white distinction between facts and non-facts, there is only a measure of probability that a specific scientific theory is correct).

 

I would say that is science's middle ground.

Sorry just read that bit again, i had  meant to say that "religion" has no middle ground when it comes to facts, it only has faith as its primary source.

There is an excellent book called "The Sixth Extinction" by Elizabeth Kolbert which talks about the incredible rate at which species are dying.  And they're dying because of human activity.  As far as how this will affect humans, the effect will be enormous, and it's not far away.

Yellowstone is overdue is it not?

It will happen one day but when??

Aye i have heard about that book, will check it out. I can remember reading a book called "Nature's End" in which it speculates that nature will start to manifest a "regurgitation" period in which all types of weather pattern anomalies will be more prevalent. 

 

Also that in the future the natural order of things will be that fecked up that a massive die back through lack of resources and food will be the primary tool of nature as we know it ceasing to function in the way it is meant  to.
