The end of the world is now a common event talked about in today’s society. People seem to be obsessed with the idea of chaos. December 21 of 2012 is a date that many people feel disturbed about. It is the supposed doomsday according to the Mayan calendar’s end. Not only that, but this day is approximated to be the start of a World War led by the Anti-Christ. Throughout history, dates have been examined and pinpointed, here are a few that survivalists might want to know. So is this really the end of the world?
One theory, according to the Latin 12th century bishop St Malachy, is that with the election of the 112th Pope comes the end of the world, but only if he is titled as Peter from Rome. Currently we are on the 111th Pope, so to prevent this catastrophe, let us not put a Peter up for the running of the Vatican when the time comes.
The Cassandra Prophecy of 1999 states that Judgment Day will come in “less than 25 years”. This idea came from an interpretation of the book of Revelations in the Bible.
The next closest doomsday is November 13, 2026. Ironically, this is a Friday and is also backed up by a scientist. Australian American scientist Heinz von Foerster came up with the “Doomsday Equation”. According to his equation, the population growth will reach infinity at this date, leaving our earth not being able to sustain the massive amounts of crying children.
Many religious and scientific standpoints disagree with all of these doomsday dates. Religion states that there is no way that man can know the end of the world. Science says that human life will succeed due to technological growth, sustaining the growing population. Science also says not to worry, because the earth will be around for another five to six billion years, unless a black hole comes to visit.
In conclusion, don’t waste money on partying or preparing for zombies because there is no need to believe in such superstitions. Although if Peter of Rome turns into Pope Peter, I would be a little concerned and buy a shotgun or two.
