The End of the World!

[NorthernChaosGod]

Well, as long as you're admitting it's a belief. It amazes me how many people are willing to dismiss the Bible as fiction and yet fully accept evolution despite the absence of proof for it or against Biblical history. It's easy to claim that we can never prove evolution "Because we'll never see it in our lifetime. Evolution takes millions of years." But that's just a sad excuse.

There's tons of evidencing pointing to the validity of the theory of evolution. Don't tell me you're one of the people who dismiss it purely on it being a theory and not a law or something to that effect? The evidence is overwhelming, while proof for creationism is pretty much nonexistent. That's why it's called faith, belief in something in the absence of proof.

I guess I jumped to that conclusion when they introduced the trailers to the "End of the World" 2012 movie which supposes that the Mayan calendar ended on the precise date the world would end. But, I guess I'm not really disagreeing with the Mayans (as I don't know what they intended by their calendar) but the author of the story on which the movie is based. I also do not believe all life on Earth will ever go extinct.

I'm fairly certain that the Mayans knew well enough that when a calender ends, you just start a new one.

Secondly, the earth is a planet and cannot go extinct. It can cease to allow life to function and/or be destroyed.

I agree. At least that there is no such thing as "Dinosaurs" which was just a placeholder for a fossil which was unidentified and that no species has lived for hundreds of millions of years. In fact, I believe the longest any species of animal has ever lived may be closer to about 500 years or less.

Of course there are such things as dinosaurs, it's like saying "mammal" or "reptile".

And you really think sharks are less than 500 years old as as species? Sharks have remained fairly untouched for ages, they're pretty much always been perfect killing machines.
