Evidence for God from Science

And it may well be the case that there are more earthquakes because of a natural process - such as coming out of an ice age - or going back into one for example who knows. And if the end times are imminent - how many people do you know that are still not believers. There are lot of my very close friends and family who do not believe - As much as I want to see Jesus - I don't want to lose these people that I love as well.

We continue to be asked by many people throughout the world if earthquakes are on the increase. Although it may seem that we are having more earthquakes, earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 or greater have remained fairly constant.

A partial explanation may lie in the fact that in the last twenty years, we have definitely had an increase in the number of earthquakes we have been able to locate each year. This is because of the tremendous increase in the number of seismograph stations in the world and the many improvements in global communications. In 1931, there were about 350 stations operating in the world; today, there are more than 8,000 stations and the data now comes in rapidly from these stations by electronic mail, internet and satellite. This increase in the number of stations and the more timely receipt of data has allowed us and other seismological centers to locate earthquakes more rapidly and to locate many small earthquakes which were undetected in earlier years. The NEIC now locates about 20,000 earthquakes each year or approximately 50 per day. Also, because of the improvements in communications and the increased interest in the environment and natural disasters, the public now learns about more earthquakes.

According to long-term records (since about 1900), we expect about 17 major earthquakes (7.0 - 7.9) and one great earthquake (8.0 or above) in any given year.

They would probably be proud to call themselves the "all is well" people. They be like this guy, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDAmPIq29ro They are the 2Peter 3:3-5 guys, yeah, they too, are helping fulfill end times prophecy yes sir! That they be!

So sorry that your cries of doom have perfectly explainable reasons aside from "it's the end times". Maybe I give God a bit more credit than expecting people to believe BS in order to realise the end times are actually coming.

Look at the sinkholes that are popping up all over the world. Take a look at all the unusual apocalyptic weather going on all over the world for the past few years. Look at the rise and social acceptance of Islam, atheism, or homosexuality, same sex marriage, abortion, just utter moral decay everywhere! Look at our national debt http://www.usdebtclock.org/.

Oh and let's not forget the stuff going on in space like the comets, meteors and asteroids appearing more often and closer to earth in these last few years than ever before! I could go on and I still haven't even opened my mouth about the Illuminati yet in this thread, but regardless of your willing willful blindness it's out there and they exist and they don't have our best interest at heart.

But heck, arguing with you all is like arguing with atheists, you already have your mind made up and you don't want to be confused with the facts. So with that I'll let the PROFESSOR S-P-E-L-L it out for you.

Careful there, I wouldn't be too quick to be labeling stuff as BS. The Bible does refer to earthquakes.

Take ANY period in time and you'll find stuff as atrocious as anything going on today happening. Massacres and genocides have been happening nonstop since the dawn of humanity. The Nanking massacre happened nearly 100 years ago, where 50,000 people were helplessly slaughtered as others were buried alive. And that's not even close to the deadliest or cruelest genocide in history. Gays getting married is hardly any worse than that...

Live in your bubble, I don't care.
