Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying: "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" And Jesus answered and said to them: "Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, "I am the Christ," and will deceive many.
And you will hear wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will raise against nation, and Kingdom against kingdom.
And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
"... When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, it will be foul weather today: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?"
(Matt. 16:2-3)
So shorter days means longer nights means cooler temperatures..... Aaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! Global cooling!!!! Aahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Submarines beware. Navigate carefully.
I have no scientific basis for this, but I have a sense that this "Earth's axis shifted" is hyperbole. We've heard cases of science overstating events in the past, and that's just highly suspicious to me.
Will Mt. St. Helens erupt now?
These guys have no proof of anything, there statements are full of might haves and could haves and maybes. Why don't they wait until they have taken measurements and then spout off. It doesn't hurt to realize there have been bigger quakes around the world, one of them in Alaska in 1964 was a 9.2 and we saw no change in the earths rotation after that one or the other 9 +quakes that have hit the world over the last 100 years.
I ain't buying it.
"So shorter days means longer nights means cooler temperatures..... Aaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! Global cooling!!!! Aahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Now stop it. It's the Day After Tomorrow. We're doomed. Doomed I tell you!
This one may affect the Earth's rotation since it was almost ON the equator.
It's the rapture! Run! (I don't beleive in the rapture just in case anyone asks).
Hey, if these things continue, maybe we can get rid of leap year.
Oh, I think it's literally true, but just by a "quantum" small amount, in the course of the wobble.
And similar earthquakes in the past would have done the same thing.
A sprinter leaving starting blocks also spins the earth in the opposite direction, but even by a smaller amount.
Shorter days? I can understand loosing a few microseconds in an instant.. but not shorter days... unless you are talking picoseconds or something.
Well said.
I recall reading that the severe New Madrid earthquakes continued for several months 1811-12. There is no way for anyone to say with any certainty that the earth has now settled.
I doubt anything can be said with any certainty, and I doubt true scientists would be silly enough.
You Catholic? Protestant? Agnostic? Atheist?
Of course you know this will give more ammo to the wackos.
