Re: How The World Could End    By Bonnie Willow on 4/2/2006 5:01 AM Whew, what a list! I'd add "ice age" to that first section, but maybe that would be included under reversal of magnetic fields. My favorite by far is #20. I'll vote for that one.

Re: How The World Could End    By Cynthia Cutting on 4/17/2006 4:18 PM I'm with Bonnie. #20 is definitely my choice. Actually, isn't it actually so, that this is all a dream? So let's keep on row, row, rowing, gently down the stream... it will be interesting to see where the current takes us. As for the pandemic thing, I've been reading the suggestions for girding for survival. Perhaps I can do what it will take to survive such a thing, but my kids are "too busy" to take very good care of themselves and their children. They are accustomed to being able to take pills for just about anything - probably this is why so many of the younger generation are not concerned about bugs and germs and failing immune systems and such. In their lifetimes there have been cures for such things. As I think about it, I am not sure I am keen on surviving in a world that does not include my loved ones. And so... ? 'Tis a puzzlement.

Re: How The World Could End    By lacase on 7/12/2006 3:58 AM The world will end by disillusionment because only illusions will end, being encompassed by the boundaries of space and time. In the end when all our illusions have drawn to a close we will be left with only the truth, the endless truth...

Re: How The World Could End    By petey duncan on 7/19/2006 6:15 PM SENSING THE END : I have been seeing an absence of overall good human spirit and an increase of pervasive evil I know a lot of this effect is the instant information flow and worldwide coverage.Anyway theres no creativity anymore everything is deteriorating,no new ideas that fit.Re hash of every past success or failure.We are failing at an alarming rate,families ,marriages,health,sanity,memory,business,relationships,ourselves,our God.Heading for disaster We have to be blindly pulled along with Israel into this skirmish that could usher in the end of days.We should stand with Israel ! They are the true children of God and they will be given another chance to accept Jesus as Savior.There are millions of christians praying for the end and millions praying for some resolution it is none the less borrowed time anyway.I am praying that in Gods Eternal and perfect wisdom I will rest and look forward to whatever it is .

Re: How The World Could End    By Bonnie Willow on 7/27/2006 4:42 AM It's hard to disagree with the list of alarming failures evident in the society around us BUT I have a different interpretation. I believe that when a massive change is underway, the old structures tend to crumble in order to make way for the new. The failures may not actually be bad news... they may be temporary (yet excruciating) pain while the new is forming. Or I could be an incurable optimist. I don't enjoy Fear, so I prefer the more optimistic viewpoint, which seems to have an equal likelihood of being true. I'm excited about the future.

Re: How The World Could End    By Ross King on 8/18/2006 7:47 AM I suppose we could start fom a different point - and say that the world a we know it is ending already, e.g. global heating is well underway, as is long lasting contamination/toxification of air/land/water, as is species/ ecosystem destruction - and development of conditions (e.g. misuse of antibiotics) for global pandemics. At the same time, there is probably good reason to believe that there is a correlated rise of those with knowledge, understanding and skills to work out more intelligent approaches to human-produced threats - and to deal with the other risks. The latter is in a race with the former. The operational question is what can be done to support, improve and accelerate the development of sufficient leadership and management for a 'soft landing' - with real sustainability. This is my academic work. The good news from 20 years experience is that enough is probably now known technically of what needs to be done - and only in the last couple of years, how to manage it. In brief, we have the technical and managerial knowledge and understanding - although held amongst very few. One part of what is now needed is dissemination - getting the knowledge, understanding and skills to every manager and leader - and ensuring that we have enough sufficiently well-trained leaders in place over the next five or so years (say) by 2010-2012.

Re: How The World Could End    By nina grant on 8/31/2006 3:10 AM Our society, our humanity, is so brain washed with daily life, life as 'we' know it that seeing the latest updates and findings of Earths results as of now and what to expact, causes, timelines, and what have you, some people just take it as entertainment. It's on tv. They're not experiencing it at the moment. So there's nothing to worry about. They don't know what to believe. They know they have to be at work in the morning. Bills need to paid. And that's the life cycle they know. The reality is our world. Mother Earth. The how and why we're here.( Scientificly, anyway). The quirks of this planet cease to exist in some of our minds. Now that, my friends, is our doom. So many people seam to not take this seriously or is uneducated or just could give one less than a flying fuck.

Re: How The World Could End    By petey duncan on 8/31/2006 3:27 PM This world on all levels is at a very precarious tipping point.Deterioration at all levels spiritual physical environmental and intellectual.The problem is that these are all intertwined and will create a downward spiral like never seen before.Hold your loved ones tight and provide for family.Things are going to get ugly from here.

Re: How The World Could End    By Orlando on 9/1/2006 2:51 AM AMEN Nina Grant. Couldn't have said it better myself! People seem to not care about anything but themselves. People cannot see the future, just the present. I know humans will perish, one way or another. I want to be alive when that day happens........I should wish to be dead instead and don't have to go through the suffering, but why do I want to be alive for the doomsday?.........to say to all humanity: "I TOLD YOU SO"

Re: How The World Could End    By buckisid on 9/7/2006 2:34 PM Global warming=acidification of the world's living oceans (the top 30 mters)=micro-organism die-off=slow world suffocation that will avalanche into humanity's suicide

Re: How The World Could End    By Bill Conly on 3/2/2007 7:18 PM Concentrating on how the world will end is an exercise in mental masturbation achieving nothing. What is important is, whether the Earth comes or goes, We are ETERNAL and DIVINE. Any belief that stems from an ideology that deems man as mortal will result in actions and behaviors that will lead to chaos and destruction as we race at light speed to understand it all. Once we finally come to the realization that FREEWILL is not the path for man to take and begin to relinquish our egotistical autotomy to that intelligence accountable for the perfection and harmony of it all, this kind of doomsday dialog will cease to exist. Intelligence is not out forte; it is our Achilles heel. Any delving into the mind for any reason other than to achieve perfection and harmony for all mankind is extremely hazardous. It’s called “PANDORA’S BOX”. Having survived in the chaos for thousands of years, it is understandable why man would create scenarios depicting the end of his existence. Granted any one of these scenarios could transpire and we will approach them from a perspective based on knowledge never before accessible in the mind of man. Once we surrender our autotomy and align ourselves with the perfection and harmony we were created for will we be led to the answers we so desperately need. This will be a group effort utilizing the talents and abilities of all those in tune with the infinite MIND OF GOD.
