You'd think someone who was omniscient and omnipotent would be able to carry out the Apocalypse in a timely and efficient manner.

Maybe the donations saved all of us :dunno:

:p

what about the volcano rumbling has that garnered more donations for the cause?

Actually, if the world ended, I wouldn't mind that much.
At least I wouldn't be missing anything.....

Bloody Hell!

I must have slept through the entire end of the world.

Would someone please be kind enough to share with me what I missed?

These fucking crazy truthers & twisted religious morons are responsible for me becoming a nonconformist, and NOT a conventional joiner. In fact, I've noticed that the older I become, the more of a pathological "non-joiner" I become. Plant a tree day, fuck you! I won't come plant a fucking tree, however, I will send a check for some one else to plant a tree for me. I still financially support what I consider worthy & just causes, however, I'm NOT joining any organization, church, or political party. I find peace in being a pathological non-joiner!

For the record, I do very much believe in the importance of inward spirituality, rather than conformity to outward forms of worship.

And I believe in ones need to escape from any kind of repression created mentally inwardly by oneself, and I find many forms of self-enslavement in Religion & Political repression as a manifestations of what I call "mind-forged maniac's," which is mans determination to enslave themselves mentally.

The people spewing this end-of-the-world rubbish epitomize a "mind-forged maniac"


I wonder how many of these dumb bastards gave everything they own away because they really believed the end of civilization as we know it was coming to a end? LOL!

^I dont know but, what is really funny is how many people are gonna go ask for there stuff back. I can imagine one of them on the phone with American Express. "Well, I had to max out this card on Earth, I didnt think they would take American Express in heaven. If you try to make me pay you I will sue you for religious discrimination!"

^ummm missiles. there is a reason the US keeps 50 nukes that could individually blow up the earth by themselves.

New asteroid threatens Earth

New asteroid threatens Earth

http://www.homelandsecuritynewswire.com/new-asteroid-threatens-earth

Asteroid 1999 RQ36 was discovered a decade ago, but it was not considered particularly worrisome since it has no chance of striking Earth in the next 100 years — the time frame astronomers routinely use to assess potential threats. Now, new calculations show a 1 in 1,400 chance that it will strike Earth between 2169 and 2199, according to Andrea Milani of the University of Pisa in Italy and colleagues.

With an estimated diameter of 560 meters, 1999 RQ36 is more than twice the size of the better-known asteroid Apophis, which has a 1 in 45,000 chance of hitting Earth in 2036 (see 22 December 2008 HS Daily Wire). Both are large enough to unleash devastating tsunamis if they were to smash into the ocean.

David Shiga writes that 1999 RQ36’s potential collision is late in the next century, but the window of opportunity to deflect it comes much sooner, prior to a series of close approaches to Earth that the asteroid will make between 2060 and 2080. Asteroid trajectories are bent by Earth’s gravity during such near misses, and the amount of bending is highly dependent on how close they get to Earth. A small nudge made ahead of a fly-by will get amplified into a large change in trajectory afterward. In the case of 1999 RQ36, a deflection of less than one kilometer would be enough to eliminate any chance of collision in the next century.

After 2080, however, the asteroid does not come as close to Earth before the potential impact, so any mission to deflect it would have to nudge the asteroid off course by several tens of kilometers — a much more difficult and expensive proposition. “That’s worth thinking about,” says Clark Chapman of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado. As is often the case, more precise calculations enabled by future observations will most likely rule out a collision. Milani’s team says, however, that routine monitoring of asteroids should be extended to look for potential impacts beyond the 100-year time frame, to identify any other similar cases

Massive asteroid could hit Earth in 2182, warn scientists

Massive asteroid could hit Earth in 2182, warn scientists

A massive asteroid might crash into Earth in the year 2182, scientists have warned.

The asteroid, called 1999 RQ36, has a 1-in-1,000 chance of actually hitting the Earth at some point before the year 2200, but is most likely to hit us on 24th September 2182.

It was first discovered in 1999 and is more than 1,800 feet across. If an asteroid of this size hit the Earth it would cause widespread devastation and possible mass extinction.

And scientists say that any attempt to try and divert the asteroid will have to take place more than 100 years before it is due to hit to have any chance of success.

article-0-005B223B00000258-904_468x337.jpg


If the asteroid had not been spotted until after 2080 it would be impossible to divert it from its target, they warned in a new research paper.

While the odds may seem long, they are far shorter than that of the asteroid Apophis, which currently has a 1 in 250,000 chance of striking Earth in 2036.

A competition was launched in 2008 by the Planetary Society for designs for a space probe to land on Apophis and monitor its progress.

Maria Eugenia Sansaturio and scientists from the Universidad de Valladolid in Spain have used mathematical models to calculate the risk of the asteroid hitting the Earth anytime between now and the year 2200.

And they were shocked to discover that there are two potential opportunities for the asteroid to hit Earth in the year 2182.

‘The total impact probability of asteroid '(101955) 1999 RQ36' can be estimated in 0.00092 –approximately one-in-a-thousand chance-, but what is most surprising is that over half of this chance (0.00054) corresponds to 2182,’ Sansaturio said.

The asteroid is now behind the Sun and will next be observable only in the spring of 2011.

Scientists have estimated and monitored the potential impacts for this asteroid between now and 2200 using two different mathematical models.

Between now and 2060, the chances of Earth impacts from 1999 RQ36 are remote.

But the researchers discovered that the odds increase fourfold by 2080 as the asteroid's orbit brings it swinging back towards Earth.

The odds then drop before rising again in 2162 and 2182.

Asteroid 1999 RQ36 is part of the Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHA) group, which all have the possibility of hitting the Earth due to their orbits and are all considered likely to cause damage.

Even though the asteroid’s orbit is well-known thanks to 290 different observations by telescopes and 13 radar measurements there is uncertainty about its path because of the so-called Yarkovsky effect.

This effect, first discovered in 2003 and named after a Russian engineer, is produced by the way an asteroid absorbs energy from the sun and re-radiates it into space as heat. This can subtly alter the asteroid’s flight path.

The research, which has been published in Icarus journal, predicts what could happen in the upcoming years considering this effect.

Sansaturio said: ‘The consequence of this complex dynamic is not just the likelihood of a comparatively large impact, but also that a realistic deflection procedure (path deviation) could only be made before the impact in 2080, and more easily, before 2060.'

She added: ‘If this object had been discovered after 2080, the deflection would require a technology that is not currently available.

‘Therefore, this example suggests that impact monitoring, which up to date does not cover more than 80 or 100 years, may need to encompass more than one century.

‘Thus, the efforts to deviate this type of objects could be conducted with moderate resources, from a technological and financial point of view.’

The impact from the asteroid that created the famous Chicxulub crater in Mexico would have caused 'mega-tsunamis' many thousands of feet high.

It is believed that this asteroid led to the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Scientists around the world have long been discussing ways of deflecting potentially hazardous asteroids to prevent them hitting Earth.

One of the more popular methods is to detonate a nuclear warhead on an approaching asteroid to deflect it from its orbital path.

Last month physicist David Dearborn of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the US argued that nuclear weapons could be the best strategy for avoiding an asteroid impact - especially for large asteroids and with little warning time.

Scientists have come up with a number of different ways of deflecting an incoming asteroid from its path, some more realistic than others. Here are a few of the best ideas:
Meteorite disaster -


Nuclear blast: A large nuclear explosion on an asteroid might be enough to deflect an asteroid but has significant political and ethical problems. And what if we just blew it into smaller pieces?

Using mirrors: A fleet of spacecraft carrying light-reflecting mirrors might be able to vaporise the asteroid's surface using the Sun's rays. The gases from its surface would create a tiny amount of thrust - enough to divert it

Gravity tractor: Crashing a spacecraft int the asteroid's surface would certainly be the cheapest option. The ship's own tiny gravity would then help move the asteroid's path. But this option would take a long time to make a difference

ahh, doomsday over, once again. time for a fresh start :D

(it comes about every 10 years or so, with minor festivals of hysteria inbetween)

yeah, next time im offering to take all their possessions for them.
its just kindness, cant get into heaven with em and othervise some bad person would just swindle it out of their retarded asses.

I'm thinking about getting a radio show like the preacher who started all this. I'm going to say to the evangelical audience, "Look, last year $100mil was enough and Jesus left us alone, but now he wants $200mil or he's going to rapture everyone's ass."

Apparently Jesus has run up a bunch of debt on penthouse villas, yatchs, and hookers and the banks are looking to foreclose.

the believers must feel pretty lame...

unfortunately they are so willingly blind that they credit it to god taking mercy, and it strengthens their faith. those who cant handle scientific reality will live in their own image of it, and deny/ hate everything that contradicts it. hence the attitude of middle America.
