Hi everyone. Before I get into this, let me just mention that I believe there is a God and that he uses Science to work his magic and to logically prove his existence. Therefore, Religion and Science are one. I hope this helps to explain the consideration of the thoughts/beliefs that I am about to present to you and where they are coming from.
Here we are thinking the world is going to end really soon, like in our lifetime, between now and 2100 A.D. See though, I think science just may have already proved the "real" end times and they did it blindly, and I think many of us overlooked it too... First things first, let's pull our heads out of our butts and take a step back, look at everything in big picture perspective (aka God perspective or UNIVERSE perspective)...
As you may already know, there exists two points in Time, B.C. and A.D. Now it all began in B.C. roughly 15-20 Billion years ago. It started with the big bang (or rather, the beginning of creation). Science and Religion both have proven an ultimate beginning and end. For religion, see, it's the dawn of creation and then ends with the apocalypse. Science decodes this language which translates: From Big Bang to Big Crunch (or Rip, Freeze, either one we're all dead).
Here's what I'm getting at. The "Life" God has created it operates on a "Time Arc" of sorts which is called B.C./A.D.
Is it no surprise that Science is telling us that the universe will ultimately end roughly around the same time that it began, except in future tense?
Ex. Big Bang: 15 Billion B.C. and Big ______: 15 Billion A.D.
B.C. and A.D. mirror each other. Around 3-5 billion years B.C., the earth and Sun was created. Around this time in A.D. it will go bye bye. Coincidence? I think not. With the end of the universe (and everything else before it) paves the way for creation of New heavens and new earth. Now THAT sounds very logical.
This "Time Arc" of sorts makes a lot more sense, especially in terms of an Almighty supreme being, as opposed to "Oh let's just assume Jesus will return on some random day in the 21st or 22nd centuries". That sounds just as bad as some guy saying "Oh let me just sit here and rot in my cubicle until I win the lottery". That doesn't sound like somebody with a big picture perspective.
Everything you've read in revelations from the global earthquake to the stars falling from the sky (the falling stars = Andromeda colliding with Milky Way), all the fire and lava, sun turning red (the Sun's demise, Hello!) . God said he is the Alpha and the Omega, the Alpha happened when the Big Bang occured. What says the Omega couldn't possibily be the Big Crunch/Rip/Freeze itself?
I highly recommend that you all read Isaac Asimov's short story "The Last Question" if you haven't already, because it has many similarities to what I am talking about. You can find it online.
Last thing... Besides, does it make a lot of sense to end the world anytime soon? Aside from all the bad things going on (since when were they NOT going on anyway??), do you think God is not aware of the millions of people on this world who have dreams and those who are willing to make them become a reality through belief in him??
God wants man to become great. He said he will make you the head, not the tail, the lender and not the burrower. He wants you to struggle, strive, change, grow, and overcome.
We know God knows the REAL end date, but do you really think such a loving father, almighty supreme being would be rude enough to book it on a day when Joe gets his acting career kicked off, Harry meets the love of his life, Sally meets the love of her life, Mr. Entrepeunuer finally reaches out to others, Batman Begins 2 is released in theaters, and Mr. Nobody wins the lottery??? Come on, hasn't anyone here taken any of this into account??
Sorry for the very long post, I had lots on my mind. Thoughts, opinions, anyone?
