What do you think? First its 2012, now May 21/22, what next? August 10th, 2050?

seriously, the world's not blowing up or anything, for another 50000 years or so, and we have nothing to worry about, cause we'll be dead!

He changed the time of the rapture to October 21, 2011.
Can we classify the rapture as vaporware now?

Even though I knew how much bullshit this radio preacher was about this rapture crap, I was kinda hoping all the athiests would have been "taken"... but then that would leave America without a government and board2 without a... userbase.

Well, Kaypea, you'd lose not just a sizable chunk of the userbase, but a good chunk of staff from the athests being "taken." You'd lose, at least, me, Kawa, and bh (if I'm not mistaken, I could be, I dunno).

As for the American government, who gives a shit about that, anyway? They're all a buncha numpnut retards.

If I had to guess, Kawa, I'd say the most ironic place for us to wind up in would be... The Christian heaven, just to spite us for our disbelief just before exiling us to Hell.

This is what someone else thinks from metconst.

Posted by Crashtour99
While the sun does lose mass, this is due to the emission of photons as light and other types of radiation (which have almost no mass) which has almost no effect on it's size.  Yes the earth's orbit will change, but it will be a gradual widening and still be well within the "Goldilocks zone" by the time the sun becomes a red giant.
So, the sun's mass won't really change, and neither will earth's orbit.  That means that as the sun consumes all the hydrogen it uses to fuel it's fusion reaction it will have to switch to a different fuel.  When it begins consuming helium as it's main fuel this will throw off the delicate balance of the fusion reaction trying to blow it apart, and gravity trying to crush it.  When it finds it's new balance it will have grown in size without gaining mass meaning it's density will be lower.  This process will continue as it switches to new fuels to sustain it's reaction.  By the time it gets to iron the sun's atmosphere will have engulfed all of the rocky inner planets, earth included.
Iron inside a star is a sign of it's eminent death.  Because it takes more energy to fuse iron than is released by the reaction, the reaction abruptly ends as the remaining fuel elements are converted into iron.  Thus gravity wins the epic struggle, the star's core is crushed, and it's atmosphere is sloughed off in a super nova explosion.
While a planet like earth MIGHT survive it's extended stay inside the sun's atmosphere (it's more likely it would evaporate), it would be turned into a huge ball of molten rock and wiped clean of any life.  The super nova would then either move it to a further orbit, or fling it out into space entirely.  Either way, the death of the sun is the death of the solar system and all life within it.

"it will have to switch to a different fuel"

I stopped reading there.

However archaic his description is, it's mostly fundamentally correct. I can vouch for him, having seen many documentaries in my day.

While we're all theorizing, I want to discover that the Hindu path is the true path.


Something about reincarnating as the sister I never had just appeals to me for some reason.

If we are all going that route then. I will be reincarnated as either the Antichrist and/or extremely attractive woman.

Be reincarnated as the Antichrist? Maybe you'd rather cross the River Styx and go to Valhalla?

So I just realised something.

Mr. Camping is a very old man. We may wish to mock and laugh at him when nothing happens in October, but there's a very reasonable chance he'll be dead by natural causes by August or something.

I also found out that those who say "maybe he'll be right, third time's the charm" don't realize he already tried it three times. The first time was May 21 1988, but most people seem to only count September 7 1994 and May 21 2011.

Oh well, three out of four ain't half bad.

Lived in both actually and let me tell you there is no place like home.

Well anyways, we all survived the rapture except Macho Man Randy Savage. Have a good life everybody, until October that is. Then we need to make up a new bullshit theory.

Randy Savage was amazing man, so wasn't Animal(he died, or was it Hawk?) from the road warriors. Yeah. Lots of wrestling shows had a "In memory of Randy"Macho Man"Savage." Show last week.
