Was laughing at the pic you posted, so with :D. I lol'd Steph, and i REALLY lol'd. & Lewis, it is serious debate because if we're talking about the Mayan calender and Nostradamus it's all quite 'deep maan'. Innit :P Well, if we were Mayan, we'd worry about it, but we aren't. More recent academic scholars of Maya civilization have disputed the apocalyptic interpretation of the Long Count calendar end-date, insisting that it simply marks a resetting of the calendar to Baktun 13.0.0.0.0,[7] rather as the units and tens columns of a car's odometer reset to zero each time a hundred miles are completed. They also argue that the Long Count calendar does not end on 13.0.0.0.0.[8] Scholars such as Linda Schele and David Freidel[9] cite the Mayan inscription Coba Stela 1, which features the date 13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.0.0.0.0. In Mayan mythology, this date represents the age of the previous world at its ending. Because the Mayan calendar is cyclical, the above dating will also, of necessity, mark the end of the present Long Count cycle and the beginning of the next. With each column equal to twenty times its predecessor, this date lies some 41,341,049,999,999,999,999,999,994,879 years in the future, or 3 quintillion times the scientifically accepted age of the universe. My argument against the Mayan Calander theory (off wikipedia.) I think it beats your's TP ;) Their calendars were based on harvest, and on a full earth rotation around the sun. Mayans had their own beliefs, which aren't our beliefs. So what if it reaches that date? It just will reach it. Nothing more. There is no possibility that it will happen. There might be a nuclear war, but with the cold war over, those chances are slim. Besides, people kept saying the world is going to end millions of times before. Did it ever happen? No, it didn't. Well, your point about there beliefs isnt neccesarily true, because who says that just because we have different religeons to them that they werent right. Also, the nuclear war possibility is in fact far from slim, with things in Iran going ape shit and North Korea being n00bz, it's a lot more than slim. First of all, man ain't these debates fun? Secondly, Iran & North Korea can't possibly start a nuclear war in the next two years. Even if they do, It' not going to be world shattering. Iran is right next to US-conquered (and yes, I see Iraq, Kuwait, & Afghanistan as conquered because US conquered them because the US wanted them democratic), so they'd be quickly beaten, and North Korea, cmon, China, Japan, South Korea, Russia, some US islands also nearby. And thirdly, they were right that exactly the year Cortes came was when a god would come and destroy them, but they though Cortes was a god, so in some sense they were right, but still, I don't believe their entire religion, nor do I believe many other religion because some of them sound foolish to me. Some religions like the Mayan and the Ancient Greek ones, they thought up all these gods made this and that because they had no science to prove what really happened when they made a fire, or when there was an earthquake, or a storm. They thought the gods had power to do all of this. Who's to say God doesnt? Why does God have to be your/christian opinion of him? Maybe no ones right? Maybe science IS god, thats my opinion anyway. First of all, I'm not christian, I'm a reformist. And secondly, god IS science, not science is god. |
