Ya know, I was looking at some stuff and read that something like 51% of Americans believe that the End Times are at hand and are coming pretty soon.
Then I think back to the rest of this planet. Life has existed here for 200 million years or so. Has anything of the sort of a "Second Coming" where "God" comes down and takes every good thing up to heaven ever happen?
No,I don't think so, or else we wouldn't be in the mess we're in today.
It's strange, but the "End Times" believers REQUIRE the Earth to be about 6,000 years old, or else nothing in the natural history of the Earth has pointed to anything miraculous or armageddonish (with the exception of natural things) happening at all.
I don't know. I've just come to the realization of how little we really know about things. I believe life has been around for some time on this planet, and the human race as a species has existed for something like 20-30 thousand years.
...And we've only managed to map the entirety of the world we live on in the past six hundred years. Maybe twenty generations if that.
Well those are my thoughts at the moment.
Lemme know what you think about the End Times.
