My maths teacher was very excited his birthday was finally going to be on 6-6-6, until I pointed out the original Mark of the Beast was 616, corresponding to an earlier spelling of Nero's name, as alluded to by SeaRex. The number has nothing to do with the Devil. It's a cleverly-disguised bash at Nero. Take that!

I hear something big and scary could happen in 2010, or something like that, I forget. It was something to do with completion of a paritucular time cycle, take thousands of years for the full circle to reach it's end.

Sekto Springs 04-29-2006 09:06 AM

2010 is the year minorities become the majority!

Run for the hills!

Jesus was black, Ronald Reagan was the devil, and the government is lying about 9/11. Thank you for your time, and goodnight!

Yes, wonderful Boondocks quote.

I think I heard somewhere that an asteroid is supposed to hit Earth in 2018 or something. But that's all I've heard.

Pshaw! Bunch'a bull sh**!
I don't believe that some silly date'll kill the world at all! Just a bunch'a friggin' people who watched Bedazzled a million times think that 6/6/6 will end humanity. Honestly...where do people get these kind'a crap?


Actually the basics comes from the Bible. Sure people can get "hypnoziced" by watching movies that are related to future things, but that instead doesn't mean it's (the movie's) beliefs are true.

Personaly I believe that there is a time when this will hapen, but the question is; when? I don't know, but I feel that we are close to the end, but then it's a matter of how close it is.

That jus' what I think, so don't get mad or angry at me if this annoys you guys - jus' opinions n' thoughts;)

I feel kinda like that too.... I too would really like to know how close it is

Look, if we're talking about non-profecised end-of-the-world just wait until the magnetic pole shifts {the south pole is already creeping north, and you can find this out pretty easily}. Once the earth's magnetic field begins to decay in order to reverse itself, the massive surge in UV radiation should wipe out most life... unless it can adapt pretty damn quickly. And you can expect the field to regain full strength in... oh, around 1000 years.

But the magnetic pole has reversed plenty of times in recent geological history and life has survived pretty well so far.

Exactly what I was thinking.

The only bad effects of the magnetic poles reversing would be so much as migrating animals going off course. And even then they would adapt in good time.

w00t I don't need to build a rocket ship! :p

Life will always survive. There's life in volcanic craters and high temperature sea fumers {can't remember their real name}.
The problem is, Humans aren't all that great at survival. The effect of no EM field would be several fold worse than no ozone layer, in terms of radiation. You've also got charged particals raining down all over the earth's surface every solar storm. That's gonna cause some major problems to technology.

Now I've no doubt we'll survive it, but it's gonna cause some major changes... like making compasses point the other way, and forcing us to not go outside too much.

Oh god forbid our compasses don't point in the wrong direction! That could actually be a big problem for a lot of people. I won't mind going outsde as much, I don't go outside that much these days anyway. :p

Sekto Springs 04-30-2006 07:22 AM

The reasons aforementioned are exactly why shut-ins like myself are the best suited to survival.

Issac Newton said the world was going to end in around 20-sixty something, like 2 or what. so its not here or now

if anything, it'd be the 6th day of the 6th month, in the year 6666. or not, whatever

now I shall open my portal to the future

You lot are being very facetious and offensive.

Satan categorically DOES NOT dictate when this world is to end. The Last Day is decided upon by the Lord and Him alone. We will never know when this time will come until it comes – such is the privilege of God. You had just better hope you have all led righteous and fulfilling lives or do not think that begging will save you from your fates.

Abeguy 04-30-2006 07:40 AM

Another Religion nut!!!
just as a pointer of the out, you guyz gotta be careful, cuz people will rip you apart, just check out the religion thread I made in Off topic, its on like the 2nd page and all that

Ninjaxe 04-30-2006 07:52 AM

6/6/6 might be Bin Laden next attack on United Kingdom or America. I think!! Why else is he appearing on TV again. To gather his followers to plan for an invasion and to prove that he is still around. It will be end of the world if America is gone. It one of the wealthiest countries.

They are already recovering from shock. Security is so tight cant even get a BLOOMING visa to work there. bleh!!!

It will be the end of the world. America is the pinnacle of of the world economy. We are the biggest buyers, if we go, you go. Just like in the Great Depression,

I disagree. We lived without america for how long until discovery? About more than 1000 years. So to me. America going bye bye isn't that much of a big deal.

As for the 6/6/6 thing, it's just stupid. NO ONE CAN PREDICT WHEN THE END OF THE WORLD WILL COME. It's a fact. It doesn't matter who says it. Heck it could be tomorrow. Maybe a minute from now? or maybe 3,500 years from now. I don't believe in 6/6/6. That's all i'm saying. :/

Sekto Springs 04-30-2006 08:59 AM

That's a poor comparison, met.
America is no longer a land mass devoid of technology and currency circulation inhabited by natives. It's on high stance, and like Used says, if it goes, you go.

Wil 04-30-2006 12:31 PM

I'm sure we'd get by, however crippling it might be. Like the reversing poles.

I haven't read Nate's linked site beyond making sure it's different to mine, but here is a very enjoyable read for anyone contemplating the destruction of the Earth.

You're not fooling anyone. I've seen Charmed. That date has already passed.
