Yes, many different denominations have claimed knowledge of the end of the world, yet the Christian Bible says no man will know the day or the hour. To the non-believers in the forum: I'm fine with your disbelief. But I do not believe the Christian God to be some old man in the sky. No Christian that I know of does. Read the Bible. It says God is a spirit. It is disrespectful to make fun of another's religious beliefs, especially when the information rendered by the heckler isn't even correct.
There have been studies conducted at the University of Arizona studying the phenomenon of human consciousness continuing even after clinically documented brain death...the information that is provided by this study is pretty fascinating. There have been people who have died, have come back to life after being clinically brain dead, and were accurately able to recount all of the details of what was occurring in the room as they were floating above their bodies. As a matter of fact, there are scientists that study near death experiences and they have come across some pretty amazing information too.
Others can hang on to the religion of atheism or science... that is fine. But evolution has some gaping holes in the theory and it is taught as if it is an absolute truth in our schools today. Scientists are constantly finding out new things that disprove what was previously thought to be scientifically valid. All I know is that the human mind is tragically flawed and people are not as intelligent as they think they are. As a matter of fact, I find the ideas of some of the great scientists of our day as nauseatingly ridiculous.
This so called man of God did nothing but make Christians look silly. Most evangelical Christians in polling said they did not agree with the man that made the end of the world prophecy. Yet there are atheists throwing parties tomorrow as if they just somehow proved Christianity wrong by this man's prophecy not coming true. The words of one obviously deceived and confused individual does not represent the beliefs of Christians as a whole.
As for me, I do not believe I am some ape descendent. I am a human. I believe I have a spirit, as it is energy that keeps me alive and functioning, and as we know, energy can neither be created nor destroyed... my being will go on in another form. I believe in intelligent design and an Intelligent Designer (God), as so much of the evidence points in that direction. I do not believe that a "God Particle" somehow exploded on its own to create the magnificence of our universe and the wonder of life as it exists today. I mean really, a particle blows up and we get self-aware, intelligent beings billions of years later? DNA magically evolved to produce every species we see on Earth? Just the odds of any of this happening without an Intelligent Designer is basically impossible... the mathematical language of statistics points against the very idea of all of this happening on its own. Shockingly, I can be a Christian and intelligent, despite what the all knowing non-believing atheists say.
As I've stated, I having nothing against atheists or agnostics. Just please do not make comments that disrespect people of faith. I apologize for the rant, but I'm getting a little tired of the statements people make that insult people of faith.
