I don't know whether people just want to think they are in the 'end of times' or a just scientifically ignorant.
To repeat:
The peak in the solar cycle WAS 2 years ago. It just so happens we have seen some recent activity which is a little unusual for a period 2 years after the max. BUT IT ISN'T UNKNOWN FOR THIS.
Also, unfortunately, reports on scientific issues on the web, in newspapers, on TV tend towards language that makes good copy. I would say using the words 'mysterious' and 'haywire' in the same sentence is tantamount to fiction. When they say 'no one knows what's going to happen' they mean will we see similar activity or not - NOT WHETHER THE WORLD IS ENDING OR NOT - please don't be paranoid
(These flares are not the largest ever recorded)
The California fires, though tragic, were tiny on a world scale. Much worse fires occur all the time it just so happens these were covered so much due to it being California and the proximity to a large population base. Plus this is totally unrelated to the solar activity.
Lunar eclipses occur approx. every 6 months (well almost.) They always appear red due to refracted sunlight through the Earth's atmosphere illuminating the Moon. These are not special events.
Just like all this end of days prophecy - people have been saying this for 1900 years now. Using earthly and astronomical phenomena to back their viewpoint up. AND GUESS WHAT, IT NEVER COMES TRUE.
People will be doing this 1000 years from now. Also, the vast majority of Christians do not believe this bunkum.
Regards.
PS
Much more dramatic natural phenomena have occurred in the historical past AND we are still here.
Oh, have you talked to the vast majority of Christians? Gee, you must be really busy. Unlike you, alot of Christians that I have talked to on other boards, and some on this site, know that we aren't going to stay here forever, and do believe in end time events. We do not take take our "cue" from the scientific world as a whole, but in the Spirit of God, and what he is revealing to our Spirits. He is saying, he is coming soon, so wake up all of you Eienstiens in the sientific world. He's coming regardless of when you think the timing is right, and He is showing His signs.People will be doing this 1000 years from now. Also, the vast majority of Christians do not believe this bunkum.
This quote came from Hathaway at Nasa according to this program lastnight, so is Nasa lying or the minister? I'll believe them both.
