In the NT, the “last days” are the time between Jesus’ death and his 2nd coming. “No one knows the day or the hour.”
When Jesus comes, does he yell “Oh Me! Oh Me! Oh Meeeeeeeeee!”
Time for another ‘Jaws of Satan’ thread?
No, that’s quite alright. I look forward to having the entire jaws to myself.

Leave the ribs and the wings for me k? thanks.
Wouldn’t it be kind of funny if one of these doomsday guys actually got it right? It’d be shitty, because we’d all die… but you’d have to appreciate the irony before your soul was obliterated.
Semi thread high-jack:
Pookie, are you familiar with Pascal’s wager?
I’m interested in where that exact date is found in the Bible.

Uh…yes. They were speaking on these being the last days when Jesus was alive. We are still here. Neither you nor some Mayan priest knows the exact date that all life will end.[/quote]
Exactly and Even Jesus said no man knows the time or the date…
newbatman you need to find humility and stop acting like a child.

Try to keep up please. We are discussing bad things that may or may not happen in the year 2012.

Thoughts? Yes, it’s all crap.
Einstein didn’t write anything about pole shifting; he wrote a foreword to a book that dealt with the subject… before plate tectonics were even a theory.
Mayan could predict the end of the world in 2012, but failed to see the collapse of their own civilization? Bzzzzt. Thanks for playing.
Nostradamus was a con man who realized the simple truth that if you write your predictions in a vague, image-laden language, people will see all kinds of things in them. Just like the daily horoscopes who are so vague that just about anyone of them (for any sign) can fit your day.
Or those cold-readers who claim to speak with the dead, but somehow only hear the letter “J” all the time. Is the afterlife a game of Wheel of Fortune, or what? Can’t they buy a vowel?
The Earth aligning with the galactic center? WTF? Aren’t we always aligned with it? If you have two points (the Earth and the galactic center), there’s only one line you can put through both of them… we’re always in line with it.
Those alignment stories sound great, but gravity’s pull over vast distances, even for a giant black hole, is trivial. The moon’s pull on us is much greater than the galactic black hole, and it’s not ripping the Earth apart anytime soon.
One thing that’s very odd though, is that all those “end of the world in 2012” proponents have 401Ks and retirement funds that are expected to pay off way after 2012. If you really expect the world to go belly up (equator North?) in 2012, shouldn’t you just be living it large until then?

I think it’s possible we are not in line with the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, being that our solar system is not part of the milky way, we are a part of a smaller galaxy that as we speak is being consumed by the milky way. Scientists Now Know: We're From Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy!
You decide, and i’m not saying anything will happen, but it could, since you know we don’t know the effects of a solar system being pulled through the center of a galaxy disc.

We’re not being pulled through the center of a galactic disk, ours or otherwise… The night sky would be fucking bright if we were, and we’d probably all be dead from radiation.
Try Scientific American, or some other reputed scientific journal if you want scientific news… your link is more fantasy than fact. Entertaining? Somewhat. Useful? Not a chance.

Come on now, it’s teams for U-Mass and Virginia, not some guy in his basement. Of course if you have direct evidence that this is not happening, I’d be grateful to read it. Also there is this “The study published in the Astrophysical Journal”. I’d say since it is published it has a decent amount of credibility.

Also perhaps we are on the verge of being pulled through, Like maybe in another 4 years or so we will actually enter the galactic disc. HMMMMMMM. I’m not saying it is but the information is interesting nonetheless.

The galactic center is 26,000 light years away. Even if we were flying towards it at 99% of light speed, which we aren’t, we wouldn’t reach it for another 3,668 years.
Your source is stupid, plain and simple. I don’t know if they base their idiocy on real sources or not, I don’t care and I don’t need to care. Why? Because actual scientific sources (and our own eyes) tell us we’re not within 4 light years of any galactic center.
You can defend their stupidity all day long… It won’t make it valid, it’ll just makes you look (more) clueless.

I never said Galactic Center, I said the center of the galactic Disc. If you bothered to read the article maybe you would have some idea of what it means since they have pictures and even an animation. Think of a plate representing the galaxy, we are part of a second plate which is almost perpendicular to the first, we are on the outer edge of the second plate and approaching the first plate from the bottom, we will eventually pass through the plates outer region and be above the plate, still a part of our own plate (albeit a diminishing one) eventually we will be absorbed by the Milky Way, but it doesn’t seem like it will be this pass.
P.S. I love how you know more about this than two universities who used state of the art technology to do infared sweeps of the sky and discovered this. But your probably right, because the website that is reporting on it isn’t your personal favorite.

Also your math is wrong, If the galactic center is 26,000 Light years away and we move towards it at 99% light speed, it would take us longer than 26,000 years to get there, not 3,668 years.

Yeah. Giggles are more appropriate.
you don’t understand these things either:
“The Time of The End” and “End Times”…
where these terms were coined…
It has been the end of days since the beginning of days.

Prof X, good words. If someone got killed or died, you could say the world ended, for them!

Exactly, If you get killed in a car crash is death any less real or significant than if you died along with the planet?

Clueless again. If you’re going at .99C, there is a time dilation effect; the experienced time - for those going at .99C - to cross the 26,000 LY would be 3,668 years (3,667 and nine months).
