if they were really Christians, they would know that the bible promised 1000 years of peace and prosperity before the beginning of the end.

No. The Bible says NOBODY will know the end of the world, therefore, your statement is false. My dad is a pastor 

Yes, no one knows the day or the hour (Matthew 24:36, Mark 13:32).

However, there is a mention of 1000 years of peace. The three dominant theories are postmillennialism, premillennialism, and amillennialism.

The world ending so many times in history ticks me off.

The Video Game Theory

No, MAY 21st. Anyway, we survived it. Why is it always 21? Camping said May 21st, 2011 (but I'm still alive!), and the Mayans said December 21st, 2012. However, Camping made a theory that the world would end in 1994. And then again someone predicted the world would end in 1997. Then 2000. Then Camping strikes again in 2011. The Mayans predicted December 21st, 2012. Anyway, here's a blog post that shows a few reasons why this thing won't happen: http://tb101tv.blogspot.com/2011/05/may-21-2011-21-reasons-it-will-be.html

I don't believe in this thing at all. I used to go to church though, even though now I don't (but I'm not really an atheist, despite what I said in the comments of the post). Only one thing to say: Matthew 24:36

Some people predicted 5 May 2000, where the planets line up and their gravity picks on Earth. It actually happened, but we stand still --- the gravity was weaker than the moon's gravity (I think).

All these natural disasters... it's TEHPOCALYPSE!!!!!

Alright, there are a lot of inaccuracies here at this moment.

First of all, gravity does not change, per se. Gravity is the whole of the pull between many different objects. The attraction does change relatively objects' mass, density, etc., however, "gravitation" is just a fundamental force, it cannot simply change, so let's keep gravity out of this. Second, if you're going to rant about what god can and can't do, well, religion cannot be proved or denied as long as there are so much stubborn people that aren't open to discussing it... It would be best to keep religion out of this too. Furthemore, I've seen these bizzarre posts outside of Scratch about the sun becoming a black hole, etc... That is most likely the stupidest thing a man could think of, because the Sun isn't large enough to be a black hole in the first place, and even if it was large enough, it would: 1. Deny us from existance, 2. Take a Sagan of years to become a black hole. None of this is the case. Also, planets lining up? This cannot logically take any effect because this has obviously happened numerous times during the existance of the universe (I.E. ~14 billion years) and the Earth is obviously still existant... If you guys are seriously afraid of an astronomical mega-object that is so large it could pull us up to flight, well... The Sun is basically the Earth times 100. This, of course, isn't felt that much, because the Sun is approx. 149,597,900 kilometres away from us. What would happen if some object the size of the Sun came to us nearer than that? Simply put, it wouldn't... Not only that will be extremely visible, but -- the second nearest star to us (the Sun is the nearest) is Proxima Centauri which is 4 lightyears away from us; one lightyear is almost 10 trillion kilometres... If the second-nearest star is that far away, how far away is the currently most-dangerous object? I'll let you answer that.

Stop turning this into a religious discussion.

I wasn't blaming you, it's just my OPINION. OK, I might have (and might not have) offended some peoples religious faiths, but it wouldn't be very good if you started shouting at ME.

...Which is why I didn't argue back. Instead, I reported your argument.

  NO!!! I've never been banned before... but I guess I did kind of offend some people. You did the right thing.

You don't get banned for one possibly inflammatory post.

I did. 

And yes, Gravity, I am aware of that. Or we expand into THEIR territory and get whooped.
