As always, science can cut through the faith, belief and general nonsense that builds up around truth the same way buai stain builds up on our teeth. How many months ago were the ignorants of the world crying out, tears coming down their faces that 2012 was going to be THE end of the world (how many ends of the world predictions have Christians come up with over the last 2,000 years? At least hundreds!)? Well, just like with the Bible, we don't need scientists to tell us that this is all nonsense and that the world goes on, maybe worse off, but it still goes on. Even if we destroy ourselves with nuclear bombs, the rest of earth's creatures will rejoice and the earth will still go on.

So much for those who had faith in the prophecy that came (from an erroneous interpretation) of the Mayan calender). Yu yet skelim.


Mayan calendar discovery suggests world might not end in 2012
A new discovery indicates that Mayan astronomers believed that the universe would continue past 2012.

By Malcolm Ritter, Associated Press / May 11, 2012


NEW YORK
Archaeologists have found a small room in Mayan ruins where royal scribes apparently used walls like a blackboard to keep track of astronomical records and the society's intricate calendar some 1,200 years ago.

The walls reveal the oldest known astronomical tables from the Maya. Scientists already knew they must have been keeping such records at that time, but until now the oldest known examples dated from about 600 years later.

Astronomical records were key to the Mayan calendar, which has gotten some attention recently because of doomsday warnings that it predicts the end of the world this December. Experts say it makes no such prediction. The new finding provides a bit of backup: The calculations include a time span longer than 6,000 years that could extend well beyond 2012.

"Why would they go into those numbers if the world is going to come to an end this year?" observed Anthony Aveni of Colgate University in Hamilton, N.Y., an expert on Mayan astronomy. "You could say a number that big at least suggests that time marches on."

Aveni, along with William Saturno of Boston University and others, report the discovery in Friday's issue of the journal Science.

The room, a bit bigger than 6-feet square, is part of a large complex of Mayan ruins in the rain forest at Xultun in northeastern Guatemala.

One wall contains a calendar based on phases of the moon, covering about 13 years. The researchers said they think it might have been used to keep track of which deity was overseeing the moon at particular times.

Aveni said it would allow scribes to predict the appearance of a full moon years in advance, for example. Such record-keeping was key to Mayan astrology and rituals, and maybe would be used to advise the king on when to go to war or how good this year's crops would be, he said.

On an adjacent wall are numbers indicating four time spans from roughly 935 to 6,700 years. It's not clear what they represent, but maybe the scribes were doing calculations that combined observations from important astronomical events like the movements of Mars, Venus and the moon, the researchers said.

Why bother to do that? Maybe the scribes were "geeks ... who just got carried away with doing these kinds of computations and calculations, and probably did them far beyond the needs of ordinary society," Aveni suggested.

Experts unconnected with the discovery said it was a significant advance.

"It's really a wonderful surprise," said Simon Martin, co-curator of an exhibit about the Mayan calendar at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology.

While the results of the scribes' work were known from carvings on monuments, "we've never really been able to identify a working space, or how they actually went about things," Martin said.

"And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided." (Exodus 14:21)

In 1978 Ron Wyatt, a biblical archaeologist without formal training, confounded the opponents of biblical historical accuracy by discovering the true "Exodus Red Sea Crossing" in the Gulf of Aqaba (Red Sea) at Nuweiba, Sinai Peninsula.

The authenticity of Wyatt's claim has been validated with the discovery of the remains of ancient Egyptian army chariots lying at the bottom of an underwater land bridge connecting Sinai to Saudi Arabia. Many coral encrusted chariot wheels, and a gilded four spoked chariot wheel were found. Fossilized human and horse bones were also recovered, but carbon dating was not possible.

The Hebrew name given to the Red Sea crossing site was Pi-hahiroth (Hebrew: ôÄÌé äÇçÄéøÉú). The Hebrew name "Pi-hahiroth" has been translated as "mouth of the gorges," descriptive of its location, where the mouths of two rivers (wadis) combine at the point of entry into the sea. The Nuweiba peninsula fits this description exactly. The historical significance of the Nuweiba site as the site of the Exodus crossing was also known in ancient times. This fact is attested to by the discovery of "commemorative inscriptions erected by King Solomon" on both the Sinai and Saudi Arabian sides of the crossing.

In 2000 Dr. Lennart Moller, a research scientist from Sweden, headed an expedition that retraced the footsteps of Wyatt. Soon after the expedition, it's Swedish backers produced an excellent documentary video and book supporting Wyatt's claims as well as adding extensively to the archaeological documentation. Archaeological research is ongoing, with a new documentary due in 2008.

Many shall run to and fro and knowledge shall increase...Dan 12:4 (In the end times) Wow..Knowledge really does seem to have increased, doesn't it? How can Daniel in such an ancient era, who knew not about computers, planes or that the imperial language of English would bridge communication barriers in the , yet he wrote of it
Those Christians who predicted when Jesus is coming back , had forgotten one IMPORTANT thing. Matt 24:36 Jesus said no one knows the hour of His second coming, Not the Angels or even Jesus Himself knows when He is coming back only the Father, theREfore we mere man cannot correctly guess the hour, If God had not tell His Son the hour, we will never know either. But they are signs given to show when He is coming, Signs like Knowledge shall increase, and it will be like the days of Noah and the days of Sodom and Gomorrah. In the days of Noah and Sodom and Gomorrah. Mankind had sanctioned sinful practice and did them openly that God gave up on them
Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
The united Stated president has just supported gay rights, sanctioning of Sin, is one of the signs of the end times. How my friend can you not see? And Jesus said no knows the exact hour but THERE ARE SIGNS THAT WILL GUIDE US TO BE PREPARED AND WAITFAITH IS THE REQUIREMENT TO GO TO HEAVEN..FAITH

Any idiot on the street, taking a look around them whether 100 years ago or 2000 years ago would predict that knowledge would increase.

Wow! What a revelation!

That's the problem with Biblical prophecies. Look into them deep enough and you'll find that they're much ado about nothing.

sucker!

its funny how athiests believe what a human says about how the world was formed yet there is no evidence what so ever that the scientist is correct . Even worse the scientist uses lots of words like "most probably, maybe, lets suppose that..,most likely," in his so called findings and forces it down peoples throats to believe him ...and sadly they end up doing cos what else would they believe since they have already believed that they are nothing more than clever animals

science has no power over the Bible . If God wanted to destroy this world with all the scientists in it then he would ! (just like the flood). But that would be against his own will of love.

The only point i see about science is that it uses false evidence to fool the poor people out there into believing it ! so you should say "science fools ,and trys to destroy end of world prophecies but cannot destroy the bible"

You're going round and round in the same circle, which shows that you refuse to learn anything that doesn't fit your little pet theories.

How come there is one Bible, a single thick book that says God creted the earth in 7 days, while there is probably tens of metres of shelf space filled with scientific journals full of papers written by tens of thousands of scientists over the last few hundred years, all arguing and showing evidence at each other, but finally all reaching the conclusion that the earth couldn't have been created in 7 days? There's too much evidence against if.

"No evidence," you say? Obviously you've never been to a major university library.

But please-Keep living in ignorance if it makes you happy.

The thing about scientists saying 'maybe,' 'probably' and all that, has already been sufficiently explained by others in other threads. I don't need to repeat their arguments which are good enough. Of course, you didn't bother to read any of it because again, you're more secure wallowing in a sea of ignorance than taking the risk of looking at the truth.

why do people put there trust in evolutionists when there uncertainties are written in black and white ? "perhaps, maybe, most probably"... even a grade 6 student can make out that those are not the truth .

Just because scientists say so dont mean you should put your life in there hands . Just because they are a group of so called great minds doesn't make them better than any other human ! you have a mind of your own, dont let them make up some funny childish theory like evolution and tell you to belive that you came from that small monkey in the zoo .

Everyone knows that every animal gives birth to its own kind ! you wont see a human giving birth to a monkey ! or vice versa.

The fact that they are called scientists doesn't make them always right in there theories. Besides have you ever thought about how many times they change there own theories ? lets be serious now, and not fool ourselves into believing something that even a 10 year old would question why he doesn't even resemble that horse or monkey or gorilla !

its not a theory . Its a fact, and a false fact i should say. Watch a couple of wild life documentaries and you notice the narrator say " this has happened because of thousands of years of evolution" .... or "our ancestors came from that species that has evolved over thousands of years" ..


So i wouldn't call it a theory now ! since Evolutionists dont believe in God ,they make up this kinds of "theories" and over time it has sunk into our media and the minds of the people exposed to it as THE TRUTH ! see now how the devil works ? his slow and cunning and seeks to still the human mind of all good reasoning . He does it by replacing the truth with a lie -thats what his purpose is basically.

The bible also says something about this. 2 THESSALONIANS 2:8-11.


Look around you today, society is deteriorating cos of evolution. Its the evil seed that has been planted in the heart of every school child,high school student ,Uni student and parent. This seed grows in the heart or mind (they both mean the same thing) .

The thinking pattern of the human is totally rearranged and broken down by this false teaching . Instead of seeing himself as a intelligent, Gods miracle , fully purposed child of God , He has been taught by evolution that he is nothing more then a creature came about by accident. An ape-man ready to evolve into the next type of creature some day.

A country who sets its foundation on Evolution and not on God is a country that has no moral standards. Homosexuality and all immorality will look like the normal thing to do ! Abortion, killing an unborn human will look like a normal thing to do !

The very foundation of a normal way of life will be replaced by nothing but no sense of direction, true purpose in living this life, and a life of immorality.

Evolution is i know is one of the many dark lies of the devil DISGUISED AS A SCIENTIFIC THEORY !.

Science as a whole is full up of "perhaps, maybe, most probably" so I assume you're telling us that we should reject all science??? That all science is wrong?

It seems to me that you really don't know what you're talking about.
