<t>So, going bible fundie on science now? 
 
There are no scientific theories on "end times". Let alone laws. This is not mathematics. You, sir, are an insult to science and our species' intelligence. 
 
It is all religious pseudoscience, and you sir should be ashamed of stating ...

And so, as none of this happened as "predicted", what's next?

Dude... No offense, but consider taking some meds. I read through a few of your copy-pastes, you should seek help.

<t>To be honest, I did my utmost to provide all the current facts and hypotheses, and all you did is reject them outright without a single actual point, and started spewing prophecies.

<t>Right, time to dissect the claims.

True.

False. The CURRENT universe had a beginning. Pre-Planck time universe was essentially the same energy we have now, but timeless due to it ...

I do not believe in such things.

<t>Mickiel, I am afraid you are far off target with your last statement. 
 
The bible is by far not historical, in fact, there are only a handful of names that are gotten right, the pharaohs are mistaken in their days of rule (names do not match the time of rule, as the Egyptians were ...

<t>That hits the wall for example where the Jews are recorded as having been a slave nation, where no such records exist in other cultures. There are, of course, historical facts from that time that are reflected in all sorts of writings, including holy books.

<t>This is the fallacy itself, the premise of accepting that if many people believe in something, than it is true. Unlucky for you, as far as voting is considered, reality is not up for a vote.

<r>You seem to be Logical Fallacy 101. 
 
What you just attempted is one of the worst fallacies to commit in a debate or discussion - "Appeal to majority". Just because some stupid idea is believed by many people, it does not mean it is true. Virtually everyone believed the Earth was flat ...

<t>This is why I added specifically "unless in war times" in my post a few posts above.
