Post your Apocalyptic Theories Here.

How friendly can you keep it when you're talking about your beliefs that a majority, if not the entire population of the earth is going to die?

That's not friendly, it has no evidence, and as far as anyone can tell it's just your opinion. To me that is very unfriendly.
It's friendly discussion of how you think the world will end.

THAT'S ALL.

No one is trying to attack others or start fights like you are. You're the only unfriendly one here.

I bet you still watch the movies huh. Do you then write them and tell them how they are trying to destroy the world. No... hmmm. Yes it is a public forum which is why am trying to have a public discussion. Nobody wants you jumping into every thread trying to impose your will and insults on us. Back off a little and quit being such a dick all the time.
Dude, I watch a movie for entertainment. I critique every movie I watch too.. The majority of the time, the people who write a fictional script, do not actually believe the story.

You're trying to have a public discussion? Well I'm sorry to be the one to break it to you, if you make your views public, people are going to critique them and point out the inconsistencies.

Definition of DISCUSSION

1
: consideration of a question in open and usually informal debate

2
: a formal treatment of a topic in speech or writing



I don't jump in to every thread, only ones I have a particular interest in. I am no more imposing anything on you than you are imposing anything on me. This is a open forum. You can just ignore what I say, you usually do anyways.. At least you don't address it, you just act all offended. You don't actually try to defend your claims.

It is not insulting to show someone in an open forum, an open discussion, that they are wrong and why they are wrong. I am not insulting you, I am pointing out the truth. If you are offended by the truth, that is your problem. If you could actually defend your claims and show them to be true, it wouldn't be an issue. I'm not being a dick, I'm just refusing to stand by and watch people spread misinformation as if it was fact.

In effect, all you've said here is "I want the right to be able to say whatever I want to say, and nobody else should disagree with me. And if they do, they aren't attacking what I said, they are attacking me personally".
I would love for you to actually listen to what I have to say, and maybe try to learn some critical thinking skills. Learn how to tell the difference between bald assertions and factual claims..

Humanity will be in alot of trouble within the next 200 million years when the plates all form back to one new super continent like Pangaea which will reduce oxygen levels and start a chain reaction that will kill just about everything(its happened before, look up mass extintions in the past) in the ocean. If we dont kill ourselves off first that is what i think will get us.
Maybe it wont be 200 million years, it may get us alot sooner, when i happened to make my daily stop at my favorite science based website this is what the top article sBillfish and tuna, important commercial and recreational fish species, may be more vulnerable to fishing pressure because of shrinking habitat, according to a new study published by scientists from NOAA, The Billfish Foundation, and University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science.ays.
An expanding zone of low oxygen, known as a hypoxic zone, in the Atlantic Ocean is encroaching upon these species' preferred oxygen-abundant habitat, forcing them into shallower waters where they are more likely to be caught.
During the study, published recently in the journal Fisheries Oceanography, scientists tagged 79 sailfish and blue marlin with satellite tracking devices in the western North Atlantic, off south Florida and the Caribbean; and eastern tropical Atlantic, off the coast of West Africa. The pop off archival satellite tags monitored horizontal and vertical movement patterns. Researchers confirmed that billfish prefer oxygen rich waters closer to the surface and will actively avoid waters low in oxygen.
While these hypoxic zones occur naturally in many areas of the world's tropical and equatorial oceans, scientists are concerned because these zones are expanding and occurring closer to the sea surface, and are expected to continue to grow as sea temperatures rise.
"The hypoxic zone off West Africa, which covers virtually all the equatorial waters in the Atlantic Ocean, is roughly the size of the continental United States, and it's growing," said Dr. Eric D. Prince, NOAA's Fisheries Service research fishery biologist. "With the current cycle of climate change and accelerated global warming, we expect the size of this zone to increase, further reducing the available habitat for these fish."
Less available habitat can lead to more fish being caught since the fish are concentrated near the surface. Higher catch rates from these areas may give the false appearance of more abundant fish stocks. The shrinking availability of habitat and resulting increases to catch rates are important factors for scientists to consider when doing population assessments.
Researchers forecast that climate change and its associated rise in ocean temperatures will further increase the expansion of hypoxic zones in the world's oceans. As water temperature increases, the amount of oxygen dissolved in water decreases, further squeezing billfish into dwindling available habitat and exposing them to even higher levels of exploitation."

I still don't understand how you think I've not been friendly.. I haven't called anyone names. I don't make fun of anyone. I just want to discuss the topic.
I haven't ruined anything..

Please tell me how I'm starting a fight or attacking people?
 
"Seriously, you want your religion to be true so bad, that you're willing to see the end of the world in your own life time. It's sickening.. You know It's not a prophecy if people are actively working to make it happen.. It's like saying a waitress fulfills a prophecy when she brings me my order. It's just insane.
Here's a little fact for you, every major religion in the last 2000 years thought that the generation they live in would be the generation to see the end times.
Get over yourself people, there is nothing special about the time you happen to live in.

You can talk all day about what if's and maybe's. But you have no evidence, till you do, you're just making shit up.. Here I can do it too.."

"All that shit has the exact same amount of evidence as the lame ass bullshit you've been spouting.."

If that's not being rude and unfriendly I don't know what is.

"I won't go into detail:

In 2020(Approximately) there will be an oil crisis. Not some gulf spill but the fact that we used up carbon fuels quicker than they could replenish so we are left will little oil. Because of the populations lack of heeding to warning they didn't buy hybrid cars or fully electric cars. America, oil dependent as it is, will demand cheaper prices from the middle east despite little oil and desperation. Middle Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iran, Yemen, etc. will be pressed and eventually occupied by US forces in need of oil. In the mean time, we need even more oil and we buy oil from some remaining drills in China, who isn't effected as much because of many bicycles and electric cars. China now profits from our desperation and middle eastern countries are PO'd. We have terrorist attacks weekly, China profits, America is frantic and gas is $20 a gallon.

Iran will launch multiple nuclear warheads on the US in defense of invasion in need for oil and the US will fire back with many times the amount of nukes. Iran will be destroyed and all other Nuclear bearing Middle Eastern countries will launch more nuclear missiles. Those countries are destroyed by US and it's allies.

China will now band with Russia, and North Korea to be united under a "common enemy" and China will wipe out the US and it's allies for good and China will be greatly destroyed.

Despite of China thinking all is over, it's not. Nuclear Radiation and Radiated clouds will block out the sun and the world's food sources will die. Also, along with that, no more CO2 or water vapor is retaining heat so the Earth gets very very cold. Humans die off along with most other animals. Most of the ocean freezes over but seals, fish, and polar bears are lucky. Humans could not adapt in time for the large change."

If what I said was rude and unfriendly, then so was what you said..

I didn't say anything that wasn't true. And if I did, please point it out and we can discuss it.
I welcome discussion and open debate. I strive to be as accurate as possible. If I'm wrong, I would like to know..
When I attack your ideas and your beliefs, I am not attacking you. I'm sure you're a great person and very friendly and kind.. But the things you say are not you, they are held to a higher standard, they are open for interpretation and criticism.

I would love for you to just address the context of what I said with out getting mad that I don't agree with you.. Let's talk about this, I make no claims on your personal character, I critique your words.
If you can't back up what you're saying with logical discussion, why even bother saying it?

its got to do with the water level in the ocean and the earths various currents and water temps which bring oxygen to the areas its needed(cold water holds more oxygen than warm). also the runoff of nitrogen and phosphorus from farming and that sort of stuff cause a single celled plant that are basically just forms of the 2 building blocks of n and p explode in growth and they suck up oxygen when its dark like other plants and when they die the breaking down of their bodies by bacteria also use up oxygen, which can start a horrific almost unstoppable chain reaction. The ocean currents are also almost unstoppable once you hit a point. As for what specifically is causing it now is most likely a mix of them all. From what ive read and understand about it so far.

"you're just making shit up"

Of course we're making stuff up, you don't need to say what we're saying is bullshit; it's our opinion and we never claimed to be right. It's rude to say stuff like that. Claiming we say 'shit' is rude and out of context. I can back up what I have to say but why should back up my thoughts if you say it's 'shit'? Who do you think wants to even talk to someone rude?

I'll back up my thoughts and debate once you stop being rude and acknowledge that this is a casual discussion, not an argument, that you need to get rude over. Also, just admit that you were rude earlier, "It's one thing to point out other people's problems, and it's another to admit your own problems."

I believe in forgiveness man, just cool it.

Nobody wants snobbery and negative attitude on this site.

You admit you're making it up, but don't like the fact that I call it bullshit.. Well I'm sorry you didn't like my choice of words, but Bullshit is what it is. It is not rude to say things that are true. I'm sorry you fell that it is, but that is not my fault. If someone tells a lie, and I say "he's bullshitting" I'm not being rude. I'm being truthful, if you can't handle the truth, maybe you shouldn't make shit up..

You could call my little story bullshit, it wouldn't offend me at all, why? Cause I know it's bullshit, I made it up.

Again, if you don't like my choice of words, that's to bad.. The fact is, it is shit if it is not true that is not out of context. You admit you made it up, what's the problem? Why should you back it up if I call it shit? Cause I called it shit! if it's not shit, call me out on it and show me why it's not shit! make me eat my words, make me eat shit! lol.. I'm not above logic and reason.

Again, It's not being rude cause I choose to use four letter words. I do it all the fucking time, and the shit works of great for me. It's an expletive, nothing more.

I acknowledge this is a casual discussion. People use words like "shit" and "fuck" in casual discussions.. You may have to get used to that.. I did not once point any derogatory slander towards you.
I will admit, that you think I was being rude. But as far as me actually being rude? Fuck no..

You can choose to say you're not going to have a discussion with me because I happen to use the odd four letter word, and that you think it's rude.
But the only reason you would do such a thing is because you can't defend your position logically against what I actually said. So you defend your position against a strawman argument that I never made.
It's all the same to me, the truth wins no matter what.

You can go ahead and forgive me for something I never did. That's fine. But there is nothing to "cool"..

You completely missed the point of this thread. Even after I explained to you that the point was to see how many different versions of the apocalyptic story I could get. I asked in the original post for every kind that you can think of. I never once claimed any of it where true. So once again get off your high horse and let us have a discussion. No one here is interested in arguing with you about whether we believe it all or not. THATS NOT THE POINT. ONCE AGAIN IN CASE YOU MISSED IT. WE ARE ONLY WANTING TO SEE HOW MANY DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THE APOCALYPSE WE CAN GET. Is that simple enough for you to understand?

You want more apocalyptic theories? ok fine..

1 God is proven not to be real, people panic and %80 of the world kill themselves. The other rational %20 live happily ever after.

2 God proves himself to be real! but it's an obscure Hindu god with 8 arms and an elephant trunk. He chooses to kill all people who believed in another false god, %80 of the population dead in one swipe from his left ball. The rest live happily ever after.

3 Religious fundamentalists acquire mass amounts of thermonuclear weapons. They launch them all to hasten the biblical end times. They kill %70 of the earths population, the other %30 are religious fundies so they have no science or medical, they all die in a few months..

I could keep going..

I been trying to stay out of this really hard, but you know what makes me sick tym? When people are intolerant of others beliefs, something religion used to be very big on way back, your just as bad as the church/religions you keep going on about. If they want to believe in something more power to them, persecuting them because of what they believe is plain wrong. on your defense of you attacked their beliefs and not them, nonsense, utter nonsense. This is a open forum and you can say what you want, but personal attacks are not allowed.

Again, I'm surprised I have to keep saying this. If someone is telling lies, as if it is truth. I'm going to call them out on it.

Why should religion have any special pass? If I was someone was boasting that they like to enslave children and sell them on the black market, and that it is perfectly moral and legal, wouldn't you say something?
If someone was overtly racist and constantly spouted the superiority of their race, while claiming the inferiority of all other races, wouldn't you say something?
If someone told you voting for a certain political candidate makes you a Nazi and a jew killer, wouldn't you say something?

How is it any different for religion? I wouldn't be intolerant of it if I never heard of it. Obviously. I agree, all the power to them if they want to believe in something. But I draw the line there. Once you make it public, once you make truth claims, once you try to shoehorn it in to every facet of our government and law, I say something.

If you're happy sitting back on your ass letting people lie to other people. That's your problem. I for one, am not.

For once, I would love to see you actually address something I say and refute it without using a logical fallacy. Simply calling me a troll and not addressing what it is that I did or said wrong is not sufficient. How many times have you tried? Every time you have failed.. Maybe something is wrong with your logic? Maybe it's time you take a look at your beliefs.. Or at least stop proclaiming them publicly..
