I lack the same faith as you Joe, but I applaud yours. Everyone should have faith and believe in something higher than themselves. And we have been warned by the Mayan's. They tell of the end of a cycle. They were more in tune with the cosmo's then any other society before or since, and identified basically every heavenly body we can identify at this point. They have mathematically identified some sort of end, possibly an end to all, possibly just an end to a cycle. Maybe even the comming of Christ! Nobody really knows most info is lost in translation. But now scientists say the sun may throw a catastrophic solar flare our way. The scientists say it would end all life. I think science is seriously underestimating life. All people whom have experience with intense heat can tell you that if a solar flare strikes us like that there will be many spots untouched due mountainous area's and the direction the solar wind is blowing, plus earth (dirt) is able to absorb a lot of heat and radiation within just the first few inches. Therefore I believe if this happens much more life will survive than they assume. If it is the comming of Christ either I'm right and he'll love me, or I'm wrong, and firey brimstone awaits my sorry ass. But the scientist thoery does match up to the bible version of the end, so who knows......Dec 12th, 2012 is the day it is supposed to go down.
