  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

What can & will mankind do against the inevitability's below?

  • The Sun is our yellow dwarf star, contained within our solar system, on one of the spiral arms within our Milky Way Galaxy, is about 5 billion years away from depleting all of it's Hydrogen supply, becoming red, expanding & consuming many planets including Earth.
  • ELE (extinction-level event) Asteroid(s), Meteor(s), Comet(s) impact(s), etc.
  • The Canis Major dwarf Galaxy is 25,000 (light) years away from colliding with our Milky Way Galaxy.
  • The Andromeda Galaxy is about 3 billion (light) years away from colliding with our Milky Way Galaxy.
Hallelujah, praise, honor & glory to our God (i.e., את השילוש הקדוש) wherefore our Father poured out Elohim via The Holy Spirit & therefore courtesy of His love mankind can now expect to see, experience only "one" of the inevitability's above.

Y3K will get us before that stuff will.

Perhaps if we actually had enough time left upon this planet as a species, but logically & analytically we're not even going to get that space / time period, wherefore according to Bible, etc Earth is scheduled for Asteroid(s), Meteor(s), or Comet(s) impact(s), etc.

[FONT=times new roman,times]There is a possibility that an Asteroid (called Apophis) will impact Earth, read below:[/FONT]​

Unless this is Wormwood prophesied in Revelation, Apophis can take a hike; and if it is Wormwood, then it's going to hit the ocean and detriment some life --- but not the earth itself.

Earth won't disintegrate until God disintegrates it, Himself.

The Sun is our yellow dwarf star, contained within our solar system, on one of the spiral arms within our Milky Way Galaxy, is about 5 billion years away from depleting all of it's Hydrogen supply, becoming red, expanding & consuming many planets including Earth.
As we have nearly a million times the amount of time that civilization has currently lasted, I think we have some time to figure something out. Other needs are far, far more pressing.

ELE (extinction-level event) Asteroid(s), Meteor(s), Comet(s) impact(s), etc.
This is a much more significant worry, and it's why we have a number of Near Earth Object searches going on right now. If one of these is detected early enough (say, around 2-3 years or more before it impacts), then there's a distinct possibility that we can redirect it. The difficulty is that right now, we just don't have enough eyes in the sky to have a hope of detecting such an object that soon, so we really need to put more money into this. We can, of course, be somewhat relaxed because this sort of event only happens about once every 100 million years, but since we're talking about the end of human civilization, it makes sense to spend some money on it (especially given the low cost).

The Canis Major dwarf Galaxy is 25,000 (light) years away from colliding with our Milky Way Galaxy.
Completely inconsequential.

The Andromeda Galaxy is about 3 billion (light) years away from colliding with our Milky Way Galaxy.
This may be more significant, as it's predicted to cause our galaxy to become an elliptical galaxy. This means that our star will likely take on a very different orbit around the galactic center, which may bring it close to the galactic center (which could be quite deadly) in a few billion years. It's not too much to worry about given the fact that our star will probably go red giant before then, however.

Of all of these, much more pressing are the changes that we ourselves are imposing on our planet. We need to develop a sustainable society, else it will just collapse around our ears.

Indeed. Peak oil's a doozy. But then, we have basically the same problem with nearly all of the energy sources we use today. If we fail to move to alternatives in time, we're talking no less than the complete collapse of modern civilization, complete with billions dead, perhaps with another few centuries worth of dark ages.

But according to some (~Ahem~) who read their own interpretations INTO the bible (~Ahem....~Ahem~) Wormwood directly ties into Chernobyl, indeed the two are the same.

Not that YOU or any other "interpreter" would necessarily make such personal (~Ahem~) liberal interpretations of your vaunted "literal interpretation" (HAHAHAHAHA!)
No, never.
Not Wormwood=chernobyl
Not 6000 years in existence=4.5 billion years old.
Not Apophis (and ancient egyptian concept)= Christian God.
Not "Science can take a hike"="I believe in hyperevolution"


Not that the "inspiration (or insight) of the Holy Spirit" would EVER create disagreement or confusion between interpretations of the Bible.
Never that :doh:

Taken from a literal POV, based on confusing and conflicting interpretations (sound familiar?), wormwood already happened.
Just ask many Christians
Heck you might even get the same end-point from those who adhere to the so-called "prophecies" of Nostradamus

What???

Wormwood = Chernobyl ???

I've never heard that before.

Wormwood comes from outer space, shows up at a specific event in time, is preceded and postceded by specific events, and lands in the ocean.
Just ask many Christians
I'd rather ask many atheists and scientists --- their answers are much more comical.

Especially when it comes to the matter of the Flood. I always love it when a scientist posts two screensful of charts, graphs, pictures, etc. "proving" how it would have been impossible for the Flood to have occured. That's a magnet for people like me to show up and simply reply: GOD DID IT.

Or when a scientist says, "This couldn't have happened because..."

That's like ringing the dinner bell.

Hopefully if that happens, once we get back up to modern levels of technology, we won't make the same mistake again.

One would hope! But me, I'm even more hopeful that we will be able to avoid finding out whether or not that would be the case.

Asteroids and such may be difficult to handle at this time, but the problems in a illion years? In a million years "we" could have adapted to live outside the galaxy, or evolved (perhaps "artificaly") to the radiationlevels at the centre of our galaxy. Who knows? I'm optimistic :D

I've never heard that before.

The word Chernobyl is Ukrainian for Wormwood. This raised quite a bit of fuss when the local nuclear power plant had an accident. Ironically, Chernobyl was not the host city of the reactor nor the closest to it: Prypiat was and also quite larger. In the Soviet Union, the power plant itself was formally the V.I. Lenin Nuclear Power Station, but Chernobyl stuck because of its meaning. This also popularized the Chern-er, Prypiat accident as a precursor to Armageddon. Of course, the incident was relatively mild to the China Syndrome devastation that could have occurred.

Whenever something happens in the news that has a link to the Scriptures, whether real or imagined, it becomes a big-ticket item. If people can somehow link Chernobyl to Wormwood, they'll do it, just for the sensationalism it would engender.

History would point out that if we choose to stay, Y3K will get us --- if we attempt to leave, O-ring malfunctions will get us.

All I have to say is, that is hilarious.

Heh :)

I have no doubt accidents will happen either. We're still exploring space though - even after famous O-ring malfunctions.
