Sorry, but this is simpy wrong. My wife is, among other things, an amateur astronomer and aurora watcher. There is no question that the sun is less active now than it was three years ago. Therefore this assertation is woven from whole cloth, I.E. there is nothing to it.

Yep, Solar activity has clearly declined over the last year or two, right on schedule; very easily checkable.

Never ceases to amaze me when people purporting to be Christians flat out LIE......pretty common among Creationidiots ("There are NO transitional fossils") and also among apocalyptic kookjobs...though usually they fabricate a claim about earthquakes and volcanic eruptions increasing (in reality, earthquake activity has remained remarkably steady as long as we've been able to record it accurately, and if anything has been BELOW average for several years now, and the number of LARGE volcanic eruptions has CLEARLY been well below average for a very long time...really since Pinatubo).

It is not a good idea to try to fool people who have http://www.spaceweather.com in their bookmarks.
