Earthquakes

Post Reply New Topic

I would hate to think if time keeps going for another 30 years like to 2041 I hate to think of the earthquakes then, I don't think God would wait that long, anyhow you never know we prob be here 30 years time having same old stuff in WP.

To the Athiests, and becoming more and more old hat. By that time I would have probably retired from work, as a laser printer tech, I have already started that 10 years ago so all up 40 years of service excellence.

I'll be about age 59, God gives human beings a 70 year lifespan, I'm 28 years old, People tell me I look 22, so basically still a brand new person.

Where do you get that load of bull from?

That 'load of bull' is basic planetary geology

So the earth is in diffrent plates? What exactly causes a earthquake take religion of any kind out for a minute, what causes it to happen? Why was there one in queensland.

You have Atheists saying its geology, you have christians with the bible, etc etc who is right and who is wrong so many theories out there it gets confusing.

Is God punishing Japan with earthquakes because Japan is a non-Christian nation? No (my view). Was Hurricane Katrina God in action against the city of New Orleans because of New Orleans' lack of religious ethics (as the Rev. Pat Robertson said). No (my view).

- Politics, Philosophies, Religions

Could you refrain from spewing this bullsh*t? This had nothing to do with God end everything to do with tectonic plates. There have been earthquakes along the pacific rim for hundreds of millions of years. Long before humans invented God.

The Earth isn't in different plates, the thin crust surrounding the mantle is composed of multiple plates interacting with each other in several different ways in addition to pressure coming from the mantle below.




I'll tell you who is right: the Christians, Atheists, Muslims or Hindus etc who know about geology or are geologists and know there isn't anything religious about it

The plates are moved by convection currents in the molten interior. The inside of the Earth is molten and hotter than the sun. We will have earthquakes until the inside of the earth cools off. When that happens the planet will lose its magnetosphere, and charged particles from the sun will broil every living thing on the surface and they will boil off the oceans and the atmosphere. Then the earth will be as dead as Mars.

As several people put it:

"Why so many earthquakes recently?"
"another one?? "
"wow. what is going on with this planet? is thailand even in the ring of fire?"
"Is this the year of earthquake?"

... more to come

On this we will probably agree: If this is NOT the end, it's a pretty good picture of what it's like. I ask myself all the time why the planet seems so much more active lately than it has in recent years. The storm season leading up to Hurricane Katrina was horrendous. The Mississippi Gulf Coast has been nowhere NEAR that active since. But floods in Australia, tsunamis in Japan, earthquakes in asia--I forget the verse, but there is a Bible passage that states that if people were to stop praising or worshipping God, the rocks would cry out. Looks like crying out to me! Out-of-control nuke disaster in Japan--come on, don't tell me it's under control! Not only that, but the world of Islam being shaken up from within and trying to change their governments. Reports of the American justice system disproportionately favoring Muslims here in a predominantly Christian nation (a teacher suing because a school district refused to let her go on a 3-week pilgrimage to Mecca, and she'd only been teaching in that district for 9 months? And my former school district gave me a hard time for taking 3 days for my honeymoon!). I personally don't think this is THE end because a number of significant events haven't yet happened. But looking around, watching the news, and so on, it certainly FEELS a lot closer. If THE end doesn't come in the next year or two, the world as we now know it will certainly be gone.

In your words, "...more to come"

Nobody should ever assign a specific date or year because Jesus said, regarding the end, "Concerning that day or the hour nobody knows, neither the angels in heaven nor the Son, but the Father." (Mark 13:32) But he did say "there will be great earthquakes" (Luke 21:11) "in one place after another." (Matthew 24:7) He was telling people great earthquakes constantly happening in one place after another would be part of the composite sign of his presence and the conclusion of this system of things. (Matthew 24:3)

Mountain formation doesnt work that way.

Mountain ranges rise a centimeter a centurey over the eons.
The Himalayas and the Andes are rising as we speak.
Mountain ranges dont pop up overnight because of super earthquakes.
They arent 'caused' by any kind of earthquakes.

Mountain ranges and earthquakes (like the ones we are seeing) are both the results of plate tectonics. The pieces of the Earth's crust moving around and banging into each other or overriding each other.

I believe the world ended in 1975 and we're now seeing a brand new world, we just weren't aware of the world ending in 1975.

Everyone wants to think they live in the most important time period of geological/religious/political change, apparently

You're 10 years off. The world actually ended in 1985, a free-fall descent all the way to 1989, after which there has been little to nothing new in rock music on the radio or on record store shelves really even worth listening to. Kurt Cobain was the anti-christ.

Given one factor for the end of the world as we know it in the last sixty years, I think it might have been the introduction of the "pill" in 1960. It started a massive cultural revolution, more reality shattering than any earthquake we have experienced.

Not saying it was a bad thing, but I think we have a different world because of it.
