- decet, on 09/08/2008, -2/+58This deals a serious blow to my plan for being immortal...
- ninamazing, on 09/08/2008, -2/+39A Big Crunch!
- saranagati, on 09/08/2008, -1/+33The universe is going to end the day I die since it's pretty obvious that the entire universe is a figment of my imagination. So it would be in all your best interest to keep me alive as long as possible.
- ApokalypseNow, on 09/08/2008, -3/+30Jesus (pronounced "Hay-Zeus") does my yard work - if I'd known he was moonlighting as a preferential cosmic lifeguard I never would have hired him.
Time to call INS... - DeskFlyer, on 09/08/2008, -1/+27Hopefully the LHC can help answer this question.
- Stevanoski, on 09/07/2008, -2/+27What is the opposite of a Big Bang?
- RyeBrye, on 09/08/2008, -1/+19Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
- Robert Frost - cutchyacokov, on 09/08/2008, -3/+20What makes you think that the apocalypse is imminent? How can you be sure that making friends with Jesus will help? However, please spare us the circular logic about faith in your 2000 year old book allowing you to "know" that said book is true. That isn't an argument that any rational person could accept.
- ghidorahnotweak, on 09/08/2008, -2/+18I thought the universe was going to be destroyed by time-space pollution from the Enterprise's warp drive?

- emarketingmark, on 09/08/2008, -0/+16I think according to Douglas Adams it was a Gnab Gib :)
- Golfball99, on 09/08/2008, -0/+13It ain't over 'til it's over.
-Yogi Berra, baseball theorist and all-around wise man. - inactive, on 09/08/2008, -2/+13It'll end and it will begin, like it has over and over for billions of years. No need to worry. The point of life is to enjoy it while you're here.
- inactive, on 09/08/2008, -0/+10You got it all wrong. You're a figment of MY imagination!
- SonicEarth, on 09/08/2008, -3/+13None of the above, the Large Hardon Collider will destroy the universe.
- chrislongridge, on 09/08/2008, -1/+10Fascinating and troubling at the same time.
- FearFactory, on 09/08/2008, -1/+9Can I have everyones stuff?
- john2kx, on 09/08/2008, -1/+9Short answer: Wednesday.
- norman619, on 09/08/2008, -2/+9How is the Universe going to end? My bet is in a huge orgasm.
- papastout, on 09/08/2008, -0/+7D before R - Hadron
- xptweakerntn, on 09/08/2008, -3/+10Tomorrow. . .
It'll end tomorrow. - inactive, on 09/08/2008, -1/+8a silent bang, aka immaculate conception
- Lith25, on 09/08/2008, -1/+8"The Universe would appear to be destined to decay into a tenuous sea of leptons and chilly radiation, and it will, in reality, have been a waste of time. As Steven Weinberg put it, "the more the Universe seems comprehensible, the more it also seems pointless.""
--- - drewbe121212, on 09/08/2008, -0/+7Well hey! Lets get started!
:: activates incognito mode :: - Lith25, on 09/08/2008, -1/+8If we havn't found a way to prevent the destruction of the universe in 50 billion years, we deserve to die
- mrwoo, on 09/08/2008, -1/+7Little silence!
- ApokalypseNow, on 09/09/2008, -0/+6"The argument which no one can argue with is that the prophecies of the Bible so far have provided 100% accuracy..."
Again, "prophecy" fulfilled in the same collected work in which it is written is no more indicative of clairvoyance than the "prophecy" of the one who would kill Voldemort coming true in the Harry Potter series.
"Another fact unexpected for a mere human book is that archeology and records of history..."
Again, archeology supports at most the general background of the Bible and some relatively recent details. It does not support every biblical claim. In particular, archeology does not support anything about creation, the Flood, or the conquest of the Holy Land. If a few instances of historical accuracy are so significant, then an equal claim for accuracy can be made for the Iliad and Gone with the Wind.
"This very reliable book..."
You mean this book that contains over 700 listed errors, inconsistencies, and contradictions? You still haven't refuted them all, nor have you completed my proposed exercise of refuting them all, having a member of your faith do the same, then comparing notes to see who's interpretation is "more inerrant".
Since you seem to be so bent on quoting meaningless scripture lately, try this one on for size:
"Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." 1 Thessalonians 5:21
Your problem, kenrayd, is that you frequently confuse science and religion when science is actually the *antithesis* of religion. Rather than the need to believe promoted by faith, science is driven by the desire to understand and the only way to improve your understanding of anything is to seek out errors in your current position and correct them. You cannot do that if you claim that your initial assumptions are already infallible, and you can't even begin to seek the truth if you are unwilling to admit that you might not already know it or that you don't know it all perfectly already. Science requires that all assumptions be questioned, that all proposed explanations be based on demonstrable evidence, and that hypotheses must be testable and potentially falsifiable. Blaming magic is never acceptable because a miracle is never an explanation of any kind, and there has never been a single instance in history where assuming the supernatural has ever improved our understanding of anything. - theaverageidiot, on 09/08/2008, -0/+6I hate these articles. They always freak me out and I frantically search until I find when they're estimated to happen. "PHEW... 50 billion or so years... nothing to worry about yet."
I'm so lame. - SheepBoy13, on 09/08/2008, -0/+6No one knows, just learn how to enjoy your lives without worrying about the "apocalypse."
If there does happen to be one...
I'm hoping for zombies. - Lith25, on 09/08/2008, -0/+6LOL
- Dumbledorito, on 09/08/2008, -0/+6This deals a serious ball to my plan for bowling in Montreal.
- inactive, on 09/08/2008, -0/+6Bad Sex
- playuhh, on 09/08/2008, -0/+6So there will be no google'th anniversary for google? :(
- BXRWXR, on 09/08/2008, -1/+7Yeah, but what's next?
- Dumbledorito, on 09/08/2008, -0/+6You know, if the whole point of everything is the Earth and the people on it to turn to Jesus, then God really needs to cut down on the cosmic packing material.
I mean, that philosophy assumes that the countless galaxies are nothing but window dressing. How dull. - GregFD3S, on 09/08/2008, -1/+6Beam me up Jesus.
- rootsm3, on 09/08/2008, -1/+5Is it weird that I get slightly happy thinking about the apocalypse?
- chrissku, on 09/08/2008, -0/+4"No matter where you hide, you will be part of a universe that inexorably marches toward a particular oblivion."
Come on....even if my attic has no windows? There's always somewhere to hide. - papastout, on 09/08/2008, -1/+5Lame headline, soon is so alarmist.
- Dumbledorito, on 09/08/2008, -0/+4Isn't that like saying the opposite of a deep hole is a shallow hole?
- SkippyDoorknob, on 09/08/2008, -0/+4With a whimper
- norman619, on 09/08/2008, -0/+4Also 100% theoretical. We lack the required level of understanding of the Universe to make any kind of reliable prediction/guess.
- fuzzmeister, on 09/08/2008, -0/+4Context: The LHC gets turned on Wednesday.
Although, people say that every particle accelerator will end the world, so I've started to screen it out. - SheepBoy13, on 09/08/2008, -0/+4...
No. - dn11, on 09/08/2008, -3/+6I'd totally make friends and smoke a bong with Jesus. I bet he could hook me up with some dank *****.
- inactive, on 09/08/2008, -0/+3They aren't gonna collide anything for another 4-6 weeks. only the first whole circulation of a beam in the LHC on the 10th... =[
- CATSCEO2, on 09/08/2008, -0/+3Big Rip.
- chrissku, on 09/08/2008, -0/+3" there's no way that ice cube will ever be able to go back and do any more work. It's finito."
Umm....you re-freeze it? Refreeze the whole glass of water and that ice cube can once again go back into commision. - jetblackz4, on 09/08/2008, -0/+3small tap
- NinjaGod, on 09/08/2008, -1/+4***** me, so there is no eternal life?
