Well, this topic has come up in many places, and I've actually decided to do a persuasive speech on it for English (the only one doing a persuasive speech, the rest slacked off to do group debates). Between the years 30 CE and 1990 CE, there had been 63 failed & 1 ambiguous end-of-the-world predictions. For information on these predictions, you can visit this website. Well, what do you guys think about the world ending? Before you answer, I'm going to list the two latest theories on the end of the world (or similar occurrences).
* - Most of the previous information comes from the top of my head, so it may not be completely accurate, even with that said, some information may still not be correct. Your opinions and views on either the two latest theories? Or other end-of-the-world predictions? |

My belief for the end of the world tells me that it doesn't matter when it does, so I don't try to guess - because it's honestly not my place. I know some of the events that will occur when it does, and that if the world 'ends' (is destroyed might be a better term for me there, because there will be a new Heaven and a new Earth once the current one is done away with... anyhow...) When all that happens, supposing I'm still alive, I know I'll be safe and that I'll be happy as ever... so ya, for me it's just an issue of waiting for things and not caring when they happen because I know whenever they do it'll be perfect timing.

And if the world does 'end', it'll happen too fast for us to notice. | |||

The end of the world theory, which predicts a polar shift which will produce a solar flare, which has energy equal to that of atomic bombs. The proof that this may signify the occurrence of this event, is supporting by evidence of the Earth's magnetic field weakening. Another event, which is similar to this, also predicted to occur in the year 2012, is that Earth will collide with large planet, Nibiru. Astronomers say that this event can't be true, because if it was we would be able to see it when looking into the night sky. Yeah, December 21st 2012. |

The 2012 thing is silly. I've read some of the explanations that go like this: "In December 2012, the sun, the Earth, and the centre of the universe will be in perfect alignment." Oh? Realllyyy? You mean like they are every year around that time? Kind of makes me scratch my head, too, at how little thought some people put into what they believe. Not that the world couldn't end then. It could end at any time at all, but the reasoning some people try to give for it all makes me .

No Justin, that's not what I heard will happen in 2012. Yeah Nicolas, the alignment thing means absolutely nothing....the people who say something will happen on that day have watched Hercules too many times. |

I heard something about the north and south poles moving too far away from each other. Then the ozone layer will disappear, meaning the earth will have be exposed to the atmosphere and stuff. | |||

I think humans will be gone before the world is. And I think it's pretty obvious that the human race is going to fall prey to a zombie uprising. | |||

Yeah, I agree with your first part Morgan. Although, the zombie uprising doesn't sound believable, but that'd be pretty awesome

The poles are on opposite sides of the earth. If either one shifts even slightly the other one shifts equally in the opposite direction. Now, supposing that weren't true and one pole could move independent of the other, than they can only get close to each other. They're as far apart as they can get.Now, in the past, Earth's magnetic field has had a history of weakening for a little it, then entirely flipping itself about so that magnetic north is actually due south. This process takes thousands of years, of course, but the Earth is known to do it from what scientists have discovered studying metals and ions inside certain rocks/ice cores/what have you. So that could be some sort of twisted version of that idea? I don't know. I just know that people come up with pretty random theories.

I think if I could spend my last days braining zombies, I wouldn't even care that the entire human race was being terminated. | |||

I don't see how a calendar missing some dates means the end of the world myself. The alignment one sounds more reasonable, but if the world ends so be it. Not like we can do anything. | |||

OMG if there were zombies that would be awesome. Until the day one of them gets me while I'm slaying other zombies. |

They're as far apart as they can get.
