You know something? I'm a Christian, too. I believe that God is there and is every bit as omnipotent and omniscient as the Bible says He is.

I also believe that it is entirely possible that the end of the world is *thousands of years* away. I will continue to believe that, even if we *were* get hit with a flying object from the Gamma Quadrant.

Are we in the end times? Maybe, maybe not. So far, what have we got? The Jews have returned to Israel. Okay, what else? I am not a Biblical scholar. Someone fill me in here.
Perhaps more to the point, what generation *hasn't* thought it lived in the end times? Huge, spectacular disasters happen. Big rocks have fallen from the sky before. They can't *all* be harbingers of The End.

I don't worry about the end times. I don't worry about Big Rocks Fom Space. As a Christian, I worry about stuff that I *can* control, like doing my best to do what God wants me to. You even have to be careful with that. There are people that sincerely believe that God wants them to blow up busloads of innocents. Well, He gave us brains and varying degrees of common sense. It's up to us to use them appropriately.

Like when people with 'secret information' start going on about pole shifts and superstorms and rocks from space and on and on and on...

Exactly!

Yeah, what he said!


Forgive me for my humor with this topic. But while I
believe such a thing can happen (who knows?) I think it's
HIGHLY doubtful. Science is a very entertaining thing.

Isn't a collision like this attributed to what CAUSED all life to begin way back when? And now, the SAME thing may be about to happen, but for some strange reason, THIS time, it's gonna END life.
Does not compute, Will Robinson!
