"End times senerios"

[look3467]

some disasters couldnt help but wipe us ALL out. You're correct in that there have been some big events in the past (ice ages, impacts and so on) and they've made a lot of life extinct (this is previous to human existance) and there's always been a remnant, but an asteroid sized impact couldnt help but wipe almost everything out, even a large meteorite would be enough, and a comet might well destroy 99% of all life, right down to the sulfur-eating bacteria on the sea bed. As for the sun using up its nuclear fuel, something else will happen first, i'm sure.

My understandings about the part of God in this whole scenario is this: that as long as mankind maintains a healthy respect for God, God will delay or deter any natural pending disasters.

I believe that the moral decay of humanity as a whole brings on the natural disasters without God's intervention.

Just as seen over and over in the history of mankind.

Chances are humanity will be extinct long before the sun goes out, that's at least several billion years away. Species don't last anywhere near that long, and civilizations last even less time. The average species lifetime for mammals is a few million years, and for civilizations--depending on how you define one-- seems to be around 400 years. But RSK has it right. Some massive, planet-disrupting catastrophe like a major collision is probable long before the sun dies, but the "best case" scenario (i.e. longest lived) is the the sun running out of hydrogen, swelling up into a red giant and engulfing the earth. That'll be the end of *this* world at least, some 3 to 4 billion years hence I think, if my memory of the estimates I've seen is correct.

True! But don't you suppose something less catastrophic like famine deceases could also wipe us all out with exception of a few maybe?

Religious speaking, I don't believe we have to worry any about the sun, and asteroid maybe?

When exactly was the height of moral humanity? If we're decaying then there must be some point of reference.

What would you all say to anthropogenic scenarios for end times? Would bio-engineered weapons have the capacity to destroy humanity, like an Andromeda strain of some virus?

I tend to believe like others here that an impact seems most likely.

Oohhhhhhhh how about "migration before a known impact"....

All the special people will be chosen for the new planet or home whatever that may be....um I wonder who humanity would choose to start a new world....

Well it might make a good Steven King movie....

Made me think of that old movie where the only living people on earth were in Australia waiting for the cloud to arrive to kill them....title was.. "On The Beach".....based on a Nevile Shute novel I saw it on television and thought it was a possiblity it could happen

I guess I take things too serious, Gilbert. Sorry!

Peace>>>AJ:love9:

Nothing to be sorry for. I should have explained the joke earlier. Bad me.

I find this very hard to believe. Bad things happen to good people all the time. Admittedly on a small scale. I strongly suspect it doesnt matter how nice we are, one day we'll all go splat

What about one male and one female on the moon? Could it start all over agin there?

There is one verse in the bible that speaks to that: Ecc 9:11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

None excluded!

[hermanntrude]

time and chance happeneth to them all? U mean we all go splat in the end?

Morality decay is basically disrespect for our own body. But spiritually speaking, as a reference point it is the transgression of Gods laws.

Meaning that the good the bad and the ugly are all included in the happenings of the day. If an asteroid hits, and you happen to be there at that time at the center of impact, guess what?

Verses if you were on the other side of the plant on a beach sun tanning.

Not quire certain what a "senerio" might be, guessing you mean "scenario"? Anyway, are you a minister or a priest? You seem fairly sure of yourself and some of the stuff you write is...welll. different

you'd still die on the other side of the planet. it'd take longer.

doesnt this contradict what you were saying earlier? that if we respect God, He will stop us from being hit like this? After all even if general morality is down, He'd still be killing some incredibly pious people. The pope, for instance

You've heard the story of Abraham? Where He pleaded with God to save Sodom?

Gen 18:26 And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.

Here is Abraham pleading:
Gen 18:28 Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.
And He pleaded all the down to 5 righteous and could not be found.

So, a natural disaster happened. So I think and believe.

Actually, it's about halfway through iots lifespan and has about 5 billion years left. Plenty of time left to be smacked by an asteroid or something.

I doubt that any one particular strain of virus or other bug could do it. More than likely the only things that could wipe us all out would be a large chunk of matter from space. Even a large nuclear war probably wouldn't do it.

??? Moral decay brings on volcanic activity, earthquakes, etc? I really doubt that. I even doubt that moral decay vrings about bugs that cause disease. Maybe it helps disease spread but the cause is hardly likely to be moral decay.

It'll be quite a while before we even find another astral body that could be inhabitable.
